Success! Both Merry Tillers have been repaired one had the starter cord broken and when I stripped it the spring was gone as well! The other just needed the handle replacing.
Should be able to do a turn around the ring at Semington this weekend!
I see that they were back in time for the show last weekend, but I must ask…. Is the chap who stole your property being prosecuted? and what explanation did he give when he brought them back?
