Kingston Flyer.

wait a minute, did you buy fender1's Ritchie?

keen eye Holiday. It's an amazing machine and pure work of Art.

Very nice Doohickie. love it.

I've been helping stabilize an old 15x20 mini barn built around 1900 or so. One side was rotting real bad and collapsing into the ground. Other than that, it is completely sound.

In it, there was an old seed drill that has been sitting since god knows when.

I finally dragged it out but it was not easy. The wheels are toast, and, are even worse since the picture was taken after I moved it again with the tractor. But, everything else seems to be fixable. I'll probably loose a finger working on this with all of the exposed gearing, but, it's friken cool! I've reached out to a local religious community that does wood projects to see if the task is something they can handle.

Here's my 1977 Centurion Pro Tour (American Market) now enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of Sweden's summer. Lundagård, Lund, Sverige.

The changes she's experienced since new are a Sanyo dynamo hub in front, Shimano 135 mm hub (120 -> 135 mm for the rear triangle!) with an 8 speed mountain cassette, and now a modern, cheap Shimano Acera RD to replace the "finally gave up the ghost" original 1st generation Suntour Cyclone GT. That one busted on my first ride here in Sweden. It had been giving me trouble before the trip from California to Europe, and I think the fact that it shipped lying on its side wasn't any help...

Some of these changes were done before I ever knew anything about Sweden (the Brooks B17 and dynamo hub lighting setup), others after I realized I was going to be living here (single-wall 27" rear wheel to double-wall 700c with cassette hub) and hoping it would haul my behind favorably all over Scandinavia and Europe now that I have more vacation than I know how to handle.

Yesterday was a good day.

edit 2: I was going to drop the image size, but we're onto a new page. I'm keeping it!

Thanks. That was about 3/4 through a 31 mile ride.

Not exactly an implement...

Farming by traditional methods.
 

My colleagues and I organized a horse powered farming event last weekend where 10 acres of land were plowed , harrowed and planted using traditional implements. We planted spring rye and will harvest it this fall, again with horse drawn traditional implements, and will distill it to produce Canadian rye whisky for release after 3+ years in used Kentucky Bourbon barrels. The plow is a recent Amish product while the seeder is of a similar vintage as that of Yokev but it has been carefully restored and is fully functional. Patience is key in this endeavour.

Wow. Neat.

+1 neet!

Very cool!

Awesome.

Do put my name on a bottle.

:D

Very cool! Thank you for sharing.

I've devised a plan to fix the wheels, at least so it can get rolling.

The gears and all parts appear to be there, so once it's mobile and rolling around under it's own power, I may have some questions :)

This rox. Do you send bottles to the Netherlands:)?

Now this is exceptional! Perhaps you might consider me as a worthy recipient of your labor. I'm even willing to pay for the privilege!

There is nothing in the world finer than plowing behind a team of horses.

Not at this point but we do have bottles from the Netherlands that we intend to display in our craft distillery as we are planning to make some gin this summer. The case of 15 bottles of jenever, from John de Kuypers of Rotterdam, a distillery with over a 300 year history and still in operation, was sent to the Hudson Bay Company in Calgary in the 1860's and somehow 5 bottles have survived unopened. We are debating wether to open and sample them. :)
