MJB1 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 yesterdays farming show at Dillington Estate Ilminster Somerset. been a few years since i went to this show but i have decided to 'show' the 168 this year , will post some pictures sometime over the weekend, also if yer local & you also get pictures feel free to post them up i cleaned the 168 up a bit by wiping some WD40 all over it , well it will also help protect the paint it still has on it ! i also refitted the safety frame yesterday with the help of my stepson of sorts rob so it looks a bit different ,no not different, better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
