That would be absolutely lovely if you could.
It's definitely not looking like it's easy stuff to get hold of nowadays, so any additions to my currently meagre stock truly would be highly appreciated.
Time to start my list then as my memory is useless.
I make a list of things to take with me to Orkney and things to take back.
Most horse powered farm implements would have been made from old iron, some were converted for tractor power, eg, binders, hay rakes and turners, potato diggers etc. Might still be some of these implements around small farms. I'll see what I can find and wish you luck.
