MikeP: Gosport

Hi,
I've just joined this forum, so here's a few words about myself...
Worked in engineering in one form or another all my life.
Always had an interest in things mechanical and have done many restorations from horticultural machinery- "Farmer's Boy" cultivator (JAP 2S). To stationaries such as a Listers A & D, umpteen small JAPs and Villiers and a recently acquired Ruston & Hornsby PT, more of which later.
I suppose the biggest I've been involved with are the two Ruston VERs and one VCR at Twyford Waterworks museum.
I also completely rebuilt a Ferguson TE20 over lockdown.
Look forward to chatting in the future.


Mike.

Hi and  to the forum

Hi Mike and a very warm welcome to the forum.
Good luck with your next project.

Hello and welcome!

Hi MikeP.... I'm just up the road from you in Locks Heath, I also have a tractor, a Massey Harris Pony. If you're in Locks Heath keep an eye out and you might spot it ... Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome Will.
Sadly my TE?20 had to go as it was just sitting around, unused since the nut and bolt restoration I did over lockdown.

Got my Ruston PT the other week as a boredom buster.





I'll possibly do a restoration diary.

Stay tuned...

Mike.
