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

Our ransomes was supplied new with a basket. I got a copy of the drawing from reading but never got round to making one

Thanks Stuart. If nothing comes up I might borrow a copy!

There should be a couple there for you to look at.

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

thanks Tom, I might be after some pics in due course as it looks like I will probably make one! Good luck with your engine
