Hi Lee
They look good. Over here when they are small and pickled we call them gherkins.

Love those Jim and the smaller ones called Cornichons with herbs.
Thanks Jim. Funny how there called different names. I enjoy helping the wife make these every year.
Well the Summer season is gone cool crips days I hope are ahead on the Hobby Farm. The garden was a epic failure this year. I have some old farm equipment that’s been just rotting away around here. After my Covid deal last years and now permanent health issues I’ve decided to try to restore what I can so at lease they’ll be worth something instead of junk price. First one I’m going to try is this old Flare wagon I bought about 24 years ago I got a lot of use out of it over the years. I’m planning on putting a flat bed on it so it will be more diversified. It will be painted Allis Chamlers Orange to match my Tractor. This is what I have done so far.
That will be an interesting project. Good luck with it mate

Great start, wish I was able to pop over and help Lee. A good subject to remodel over the winter.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
Interesting subject Lee. Strange mix of tyres on it though…..
Paul. Thanks I need the encouragement thanks for stopping by.
John. You don’t know how much I wish you guys lived down the road or across town. If you were here I would put you in charge of my Garden seems I’ve loose my touch.

Tim thanks. I know it’s kinda mixed matched it was like that when I bought it. I did replace the left rear one (Looking from the back of the Wagon Frame) several years ago.
The two left hand ones, looking forward, seem of a very old design, almost like tractor front tyres. Should be good watching you whip it into shape though :thumb2:
Yes they are Tim and the one on the right rear is a very old car tire that’s not flat and has held air for many years it never gave me trouble. I’ll probably use that tube out of it. It’s supposed to be a beautiful day tomorrow I hope I can get some more progress on it
Hi Lee
Well you've had a rough time this last year or so with the Covid and the failure of the crops. Let's hope this project is the start of better things.
Thinking of restoring old farm stuff have you come across a YouTube channel - Engels Coach Shop. He is a restorer of old horse drawn wagons. Incredible skills. Worth a watch.

cool project Lee! Out of interest, does the very narrow wheelbase on the front wheels affect the stability?

Great idea to keep you busy in the winter months Lee. A nice bed with maybe some hinged low sideboards too. Get your health back first and Just don't overdo it buddy. When your finished and it's painted, I'll see if I can sent this your way to mount on it. Great against poachers!!!.........
But please don't paint it Allis Chalmer's orange like the trailer. It would ruin the scare factor immensely. Could be a hit in the local 4th of July parade though. Just a thought................Take care of yourself my friend......

Jim thanks for stopping by. It’s been rough alright. A couple weeks ago a good friend of mine who I grew up with died suddenly of a massive heart attack while he was at work we were the same age and hung around together during our school years. Sometimes I really don’t know how much I can take with all the friends I’ve lost to Covid and Heart Attacks I’m going numb. I’m going to check out that YouTube channel thanks for the heads up.
Allen thanks for looking in. I promise I won’t over do it. This restoration is kinda trigger object of happier days when I used it. You read my mind friend are reading my mind I plan on putting some sides on it. I’ll let you know when I’ll need the weaponry looks good I’m sure it will be a head turner at any Parade and no AC Orange Lol Thanks again Allen
Rick I’m hoping and when the time comes I’ll pass it on to my Daughters.
