    Fascinating to see the instructions and pictures, I had thought given it’s age would have been a wooden barrow, but haven’t been able to find one suitable, no wonder it should be a metal one. I had also thought the string drive belt was someone’s fix, but I see it’s the real thing

    Definitely not a Nickerson Turfmaster as I used to drive one in the 1980s

    This makes sense,traction to make it spin must come from contact with the barrow tyre.
    I will try and find a barrow to suit and photograph it.
    I bought it from a place which originally had been a small holding and it certainly looks as though it had been used.
    Thanks for the info

    I picked up this Fairlawn Spreader recently and can’t find any thing about it.
    Does anyone know of the Fairlawn Company of Buxton and what would it have been attached to, so that it could be utilised as a Spreader?
