I believe it may be a gas poker

If your looking for projects, have an atco tractor, that needs a significant amount of TLC, but sure you have many more projects already lined up.

I suspect it is a pump handle

Well done. Unbelievably it was running 10 years ago, but clutch stuck, and as a result went through the fence and 2 fields an hedges before they got it stopped. Think it will be a long project, as now seized, but I’m not aware of a running one in the uk.

Well done Geoff, one is an atco, what’s the other. Single cylinder water cooled, dates from1919, and it’s not simar!

The cultivator and ploughs are complete red herrings, being cultmate and rowtrac!

Second tractor, I know of no running examples, but a couple have turned up at auction in recent years, the radiator should give it away

A few more photos, this is the front tractor, to my knowledge there is only one restored running example, plus rumours of a couple of basket cases

Dont want to make it to easy!

The drawbbar for the cultivator is loosely connected to gunsmith,, but exceptionally cold on either tractor

No problem, can take some better photos for you too,, maY be a day or so though

An even larger one came to light recently, approx 5foot wide and 4 foot tall. One similar to mine for comparison. Sadly this time not added to the collection, although a few goodies were!

Have recently acquired one from a nursery near exeter where they had still been using it
Seen here in it’s natural hunting ground, our potting shed on the nursery

i have a cambridge roll, bloody heavy immovable lump!, never seen a flat roll in the flesh tough

i believe all terrain tyres do do them

in the us they sell eyes, as they can easilly be sent by post. thats taking the splitting down to the limit!

i believe you are right, the rotor box looks very farmersboy. i have a lot of farmers boy paperwork in the office, so will have a look, when i get home, as working near sherborne, dorset at the moment. should be home in a month or so!

Not four oaks.doesn’t look like mysto, dronwall or drake fletcher. But not one I’ve seen before.
