It would indeed be criminal..!
I even considered going for this machine myself, but it doesn't have the elevator-pulleys that I need, and, judging by recent sales against conventional auction results, Ebay is a
very expensive place to purchase a threshing machine.
Hang in there Chris, some people (such as a couple of thatchers that I know in Devon) couldn't wait to get shot of their wooden rims and fit iron wheels or pneumatics. Folk who need the machines for a job of work can't be messing around spending money restoring wooden wheels!
