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
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

it will be totally covered in blackberries.

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
The bad thing is that somebody has to crawl in there and hook the chain on to it

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.
