I have looked up the archives of the ‘old forum’ as I remember posting advertising pictures of Greensleeves items on there some time ago. Greensleeves was discussed quite extensively in early 2010.

I have retrieved those pictures and now intend to put them here on the new forum – hopefully!

The first picture is from the Carters Seeds – Blue Book of Gardening Catalogue 1961. Greensleeves products were manufactured by Mitchel & King Limited, Slough.

The second picture is from the 1967 Catalogue of Garden Equipment by Hardware Distributors (Yorkshire) Ltd of Leeds.

Just click on the picture to open it out fully.

Start off with a kettle full of boiling water, may just expand it enough to release it and no danger of melting it! While still warm get someone to take the weight of the assembly by holding the pulley while you tap the end of the shaft using a brass or soft iron drift. Holding it in this way will prevent shock loads to the rim. If that doesn’t work, careful application of diffused heat from a blow torch – nothing too concentrated, around the centre boss and repeat the tapping – gloves for the holder!. If that doesn’t work fill the dish of the pulley with diesel and leave it for a week in the hope that it will seep down between the shaft and pulley and again repeat the tapping procedure.

Today has been a get ready for the show weekend here. As I was saying to the better half this is the only day before Friday that I will see daylight to pamper the barford 30.its a situation where we start early and finish after dark weekdays, its not the best situation and I am sure there will be others who have made the best use of today for the same reason. just add this photo as ive never seen it so good.
