Orford Vintage Machinery Show 2023

MJM460:
And them some more varied subjects.  The portable engine was steamed up and running. 

I didn’t see the Lanz competing in the tractor pull but I think it may have other years.  The water tank is progressively moved up the ramp so it’s weight is carried by the sled between the front wheels, increasing the pull required to keep moving.

A round engine for Mike, or is the wrong part stationary? 

And something for the Admiral.  Can you recognise what it is?

Finally, a country show is not complete without demonstration of the local produce. 

Thanks again to all who put together such a great show in a small remote community, and especially to the Lions club who supplied hamburgers with the lot for only $4.  I think you could raise the price next year guys, they were excellent.

I hope everyone enjoys these photos and a little atmosphere of a great show.

Admiral_dk:
Hi MJM  and thank you for sharing the pictures  :Love:

I'm guessing that you are refering to the Harleys (no expert there) and I will guess that the one in front is the relative new Sporster 1200 that originally was made for us here in Europe - I believe that the owner has made some changes though ....

Enjoy the Summer with family and friends  :cheers:

MJM460:
You have picked it, Per.  I’m no expert but the owner was keen to provide the guided tour.

I think he may have changed more than he left original if I understood what he was telling me.

So many custom designed modifications, and he was very proud of the clean look with all the cables run inside the tubes.

Quite a substantial engine capacity increase too.  Carried in a purpose built trailer.  Most interesting to hear about what he had done.  A real labour of love.

It would most likely have been used to run a cream separator

RayW:
Great photos and good to see another Stuart half horsepower.
As far as I am aware, the Standard Separator engines were used in dairies on cream separators.
