Default Wood Basket for Fowler Traction Engine

Has anyone in the UK got an Australian style wood basket for a Fowler?

Cheers

Paul

They were usually locally made by the agent or owner. Threshing drum beater bars were a favorite material.

Thanks David. I will take measurements and photos of a few examples in October when I'm in Australia, just wondered if there were any laying around in the UK! Hopefully I will be able to say hi at Hawkesbury!

Regards

Paul

I have one with my recent import of Allchin 1409 complete.It may give you some ideas if you have to make one up.They are simple enough just made from D iron and rivetted up.Tom
