Here are some photos of the bolt I need, the carburettor and the engine model numbers. hope this helps you identify the exact bolts I need. They obviously do not need to be a philips head, hexagon would be fine. The bolt is 1 & 5/8″ long not including head and is indeed 1/4″ shank diameter.

If you go to the photo gallery section of the VHGMC website and put in ‘seed drills’ you can get up pictures of a Fedex drill like yours. There are a lot of local firms who made similar drills about the turn of the 20th century. I repaired the woodwork of my Horace Fuller drill by building it around the brush and axle as I couldn’t move the brush without breaking it.
You will also need the shute which drops the seed into the ground, made of tin they are a fairly standard design on these drills.

There were two other petrol stations in Tenterden High High Street and they both had those swing out gantries. One was National Benzol , the other I cant remember. Those were the days when nearly every village had a repair garage and a pump or two . Cars needed regular application of grease to multiple points every couple of thousand miles and a de-coke every ten thousand. When I first started buying my own petrol it was 4 shillings and 11d a Gallon . Less than 25p ! 4 gallons for less than £1.00

Yes, the current crop of TV restoration programmes have a lot to answer for. Unless you’re a sand blaster and powder coater. I’ve only recently discovered that that the shop in which my late business partner and I started our Garden Machinery business had the second petrol pump to be installed in Kent. Now that would be a find.
