Thanks Swishy, those are some great pictures.
G'day Swishy ! Your second photo to the last before the LeTournou tractor pictures, is that a Mann steam truck ? Some Gents are rebuilding one at the Forest Museam in Duncan B.C. !
Hi swishy,
just getting back on the BB after displaying my 1918 Jelbart 10 hp 2 stroke portable engine "pictured by you" driving a water pump. Also in the back ground behind me in the shelter is the Clubs 4hp Jelbart which we got running successfully after an extensive rebuild, by another club member, including casting a new flywheel.
Thank you for the pix as one does not get to roam too far when exhibiting a running engine display and working on another with many varied problems to trouble shoot and fix. We did get it running quite well and the longer it ran the better it got so with some more fine tuning it will come to be a nice running exhibit. Indeed I look to have missed a lot of good exhibits that day.
Thanks and Cheers,
Eddie Bedwell
What an amazing assortment of stuff😊 😊 Can't say as I recognize much of it but enough to set off the "Old Magnet" detector😄😄
Thanks for posting.
PS, like that "comfy" operators seat on that LeTourneau.

Thanks for all the interesting photos. Recognized a few items, American made of course, like the blue Kenworth truck. The ancient automobiles were very interesting. The one with the boat-shaped rear is similar to some made in the US, Auburn I think. All I can say is Wow! GWH
