I spent a nice day sloshing mid-Brunswick Green around my stripped Petter M, fitting bigger wheels to my Amanco trolley (5" wheels looked ridiculous)
*AND* going to a local rally.Living, as I do, within spitting distance of the original Bentall factory (although I doubt I could spit 3 miles these days) I've been to visit the local Agricultural Museum and the Museum of Power which have been celebrating the bicentennial of Bentall's. Both had exhibitions of ploughs - including the Goldhanger plough which is both the item that started the Bentall empire in the late 1700's and the village in which I live - mills, chaff cutters etc. but the Museum of Power had a fair selection of Bentall engines from around the country and one of two known remaining Bentall cars (the other currently resides in Australia). Although the ploughs were produced in the late 1700's, the Bentall factory was not established until
1805, hence the bicentennial.Although I've seen quite a few Pioneers around the local rallys I'd never seen any of the hit and miss verticals - several of which were at the rally today.
