Saturday, petrol tank off and fuel tap removed, blockage found on the reserve side of the tank as suspected. New toolbox and ignition switch fitted. However the most important job is to fabricate a bracket so I can mount a tow ball in order to tow my trailer.
The trailer being the preferred method of conveyance (plus two Straw bales – well done Phil) to the Sweet Olive Restaurant for (left to right) Rob,Geoff, Phil and Kevin.
A 20min or so drive, smiles on everybody’s faces and the general acceptance that being towed by a vintage tractor in a trailer with a beer in hand is the only way to travel!
Above, proud owner, Tillie and guests.
Come Sunday, a further plan is hatched to use the tractor and trailer to go scrumping around the village in order to gather a crop for next weeks cider making project. The scrumping ends down the Red Lion where the ‘Cider Boy’s’ and Tillie are targeted by some local country Girls.
Tillie and the ‘Cider Boys & Girls’ with a bumper crop.
