As I squint at the logo at the top edge does it say something like “WHEN YOU BUY…” and then at the bottom say “YOU BUY PROTECTION” ? Some sort of advertising slogan? I’m probably wrong.

I’ve just looked through the sprayers etc on my never ending sorting of archive photos and cannot see anything remotely similar.

Oddhatuk – that is a truly brilliant answer and you deserve a prize for that!

Trusty220 – You are not going to get a better Christmas answer than oddhatuks suggestion of ‘Part of Santa’s Trusty Sleigh’.

Well it’s green so that narrows it down a bit. Could it be Elf green and thus a part that fell off Santa’s sleigh when it passed over Redditch last year perhaps?

I’ve had a search through the old forum photos (must get them archived somewhere) and there are quite a lot of Merry Tiller photos but only a few relating to a dozer blade. I think these images posted here were originally by will haggle.

Although not good, I think underneath the fuzzy image below of the dozer blade it says “can be front or rear mounted” – may have to squint a bit…

The last image also shows a front mounted blade.

sorry cannot be of any more help but it may be a guide.

There is some excellent artwork for machinery. My favourite is probably for the Reo mowers – I don’t know what health and safety would say about the adverts though!

It might be ready for Tractor World, that is if I remember to buy some more yellow paint and the monsoon weather clears up enough for painting!

A small update: I’ve got the mower deck, it’s hardly been used. It’s now been stripped and undercoated and the steel work is so good that it hasn’t required any filler or straightening out.

As Geoff mentions the pre-printed log sheets at Newark were really good. The information about each exhibit that was contained in the show guide was also printed on the log sheet so visitors didn’t have to keep referring back to the guide to find out about each exhibit, it was a good idea.

I think it’s fair to say that we had a great time at Newark. If you have never been then it’s also a good place to meet friends, club members and also meet new folk too.

I did manage to get the Elec-Trak tractor there and amazingly found three show visitors who also own Elec-Trak tractors – it’s worthwhile going to shows as you never know who or what may turn up!

Lots of photos all compiled into a slideshow on Youtube:

I have now got the mower deck electric motors from Evesham from where I got the tractor from a couple of years ago, should have got the motors at the same time but didn’t.

It’s nice to have the original motors to rebuild the mower deck with and hopefully all will work.

The motors are quite large and weigh 6kg each, I’ve had them plugged in and they work! Just got to rebuild everything now.
