Hi All
We went our local village show today. Only about a dozen cars but a fine collection of tractors. Including A Marshal….Single cylinder two stroke…that thing at the front is the cylinder head. It is started by unscrewing the t piece inserting a lighted taper then cranking from the side.
Another interesting tractor was a grey Fergy with a cab, Montego diesel engine, mudguards. The owner drove about fifty miles to be at the show!
Highlight of the show for me was the demonstration of putting a ‘steel tyre’ on a wooden wagon wheel.
Then as we got home we spotted the Lea Francis owners club parked up in the Metropole!
Cheers
Howard
