Trying to date this I contacted the The Royal Smithfield Club. They informed me the show usually started on a Monday, so this would give 1944, 1950 or 1961 as possible years. Show catalogues etc are at MERL so that will be my next place to look.

Looking forward to seeing it, see you at Tractor World Newburty

Sandi, it is an annoying issue with the forum software that causes photos to appear in a different order, so far we have not found a solution to it.

Great photos, looks like I missed another great weekend, looking forward to 2017.

Why do those involved with running the themed section seem to keep it such a big secret, thanks to wingnut we now know what the theme is. How did you find out wingnut? Also if the horticultural section is judged then it should be all of the section not just the themed section, in fact there is an argument to judge both seperatley.I know there were issues at Tractor World one year due to some horticultural machines that were not in the horticultural section but scattered amongst other club stands not getting judged. This was on the advice of the organisers at that show.

Will they get the judging right this year and judge the whole of the horticultural display, the themed section and the main section?

Problem with a lot of the old colours is they did not have RAL or Pantone codes as far as I know.

Regarding dating, have you tried contacting MERL at Reading University, I believe they have the Allen Scythe records

The rear roller is a bit different too.

They have already proved useful, it is where i got correct dimensions for clutch plates, also enabled me to give another member dimensions of a spring in the breather of a Rototiller 56.
