Hi all,
Jack, as I progress through the resto I will be posting progressive photos and updates.
The owner of the property where the sale was on the weekend, who is now 70, told us that he can remember it being used by his father when he was a kid.
Whether this is fact or fiction I am unsure.
I am glad I bought it, not only for my son but to add to our collection and restore a bit more history.
The bonnet on it looks "homemade"
The reel at the moment is seized and only has a couple of the wooden rollers left.
Gear box seems ok - still has forward and reverse
Belts and tyres are well knackerd
But the frame and other metal work is in good condition.
