On Sunday a friend and I travelled to Bungowannah in New South Wales, which is about a three and a half hour drive, to collect a plough I had agreed to purchase. I hired a tandem trailer and my friend towed it with his four wheel drive. So far so good. When we got about forty minutes from Bungowannah, the brother of the vendor called and said the plough was no longer for sale. He said it was his and his mother was too old and foolish to organize a sale in any case. Disappointment. I felt more sorry for the vendor, who is a thoroughly decent man, than for myself; he was very embarrassed by his brother's offensive behaviour. After all, I can find another plough (though it was a seven bottom plough). There was nothing we could do, so we decided to travel back through Victoria on back roads. Along the way we stopped an interesting looking farm about three miles from Tongala. The chap said nothing was for sale, but we were welcome to look and take photographs. The tractor is 1928 McCormick 10/20, which was last run in 1956. It was fitted with a generator, so I guess it also had electric start? Also two IHC Seed Drills, an AR 160 Truck, two Mitchell Ploughs, an unknown make of single furrow plough and a device I do not recognize. Pictures attached.

If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
