I put things in that place all the time, Jerry. If I ever remember where that place is, there will be a lot of good stuff there :lol:

Fortunately I didn't put my Dexta steering parts there. That woodruff key is 1/4" wide by 7/8" long.

Yes I do have a Dexta, it's currently having an engine transplant and when I was putting the front axle together I realised I had mislaid a woodruff key. It fell out when I removed the stub axle and I put it in a safe place where I wouldn't forget - so I have now forgotten!!!!
I have a F%^&&$%n Cordwood saw which I used last summer and it seems to be a good combination.

Yes, but only one, and it's not petrol powered :)

I probably won't buy another one unless I find a petrol. I almost bought another Major last week,though, but I was a little too late.

Those blackberry bush tractors tend to get cheaper as the bush gets bigger :lol: The bad thing is that somebody has to crawl in there and hook the chain on to it :shock:

Hi all
Had to order one, found a supplier who had them but only in packets of 10.
Anyone needing one can contact me and I can supply them!

Now I look forward to 'discovering' probably next year the elusive original.
I'm now going to make up a large box and label it "SAFE PLACE BOX" and anything I need to put in a safe place can go there! And it will be at the opposite end of the garage to the rubbish bin.
Thanks to all.
