Yes please Chris. I have never used the spud lifting
gear on the Ransomes so I am on a sharp learning curve.
The more the merrier.
See you there.

A quick update on the Weeley weekend.
The potatoes are looking good. The field is being prepared by Chris with his big
tractor and is in prime condition. We have two good men booked as judges for the
ploughing match on the Saturday morning. Hon club chairman and Bob Cragie.
The Simar serenade is being managed by club President Charlie Moore .
Not a lot more to say at the moment so off to the workshop to get the spud
lifters sorted out. See you all at Weeley.

Well done to Peter and the team for putting on a good
show. As always lots to see and a very large horticultural
working area with a range of machines all working and the
owners having fun. See you all at Weeley.

[dave]

Running or not please bring it to Weeley.
I have just acquired a Simar 35 which is seized, but running or
not it will be going to the party.
See you at Weeley.
Dave.

Nice one Peter. Hope to see you at Weeley in September.
Dave.

Hi all. I called in at the farm at Weeley this morning and all the spuds are up and looking good.
A few weeds but I am sure that Robert and the Trusty will soon be there and will be having a weed out.
Or maybe a hand hoe job.
Also the track for the Weeley wander has been extended a bit to include the fishing lakes and
the orchard below the lakes.
See you all in September.

Probably cast iron wheels and mild steel stub axles therefor no
lubrication was needed. If you had of oiled them the dirt and dust would have got
in to the hub and would have turned into grinding paste.
Let them run dry and rattle a bit.
Dave.

Mick,

I never mock another man’s ploughing cos I have been known to
plough round in circles. I only plough for fun. Not a row of houses.

[dave]

I look forward to seeing the new toy at Stanfield next month and
also at Weeley in September at the Simar symphony.

[dave]

I think that I will let you two Andy and Charlie to organise this for the Weeley weekend.
We will have a chat I the spring.
Dave.

[dave]

Yes we are planning a Serenade of Simar’s.

[dave]

Sorry. Checked the photo again and saw the sparking plug.
Senior moment.

Nice one Charlie, I presume that it is one of those German two stroke
diesel engines. Looking forward to hearing/seeing it at Weeley next
September.
