Re: ts 24
good to see some pics of 'Uncle Bens' gear, He lived in the next village to me and we had some long long conversations about the merits of various machines. He remained as sharp as the proverbial s**t house rat right to the end!.the last of the 'old school' muckshifters.
If you fancy reliving old times bob, I got a vacant seat on a 22a and 435G coming up!?????????
Did you know John Ginter?

That must be Ben Wyatt of Snettisham ?, you could see his kit from the A10 as I recall.
My D7 7M is housed not too far from there.

Re: ts 24
Hi Dave,
I'm near King's Lynn but my D7 7M and D2 5J are at my brother in-law's place near Watton, along with a good selection of ploughs, cultivators and a mole drainer.
There are some pictures on this site which I posted in my introduction note here >>>
Hi my name is John Gaunt
My D7 (together with Hexatrac plough and Miles mole drainer) came from not far from you at Alburgh when I bought it, although previously it was an FW Pettit of Spalding machine.
I retired end 2006, and have quite a bit of spare time these days, so if you ever need a hand for a few days let me know, I thoroughly enjoy driving Cats !
