Wednesday morning I was in total despair. Not only was Ivan still away with his injured hip and Steve

still recovering from a really bad bout of 'flu but Graham's wife had rung to say that he had

injured his back so badly he could not move. Two tractors nearly finished, an engine to rebuild and

I could not leave the office because of getting figures ready for the tax return.

Jeff, bless him, drove 300 miles to come and help. On the first day he sorted out Daisy May's starting

problems, diagnosed Bob's dynamo problem as a fauly connection to the control box and dealt with that

by soldering short lengths of wire to each of the connectors, attaching spade connectors to the ends

of the wires and to the associated wiring and with fail-safe connections all was well.

Between then and Thursday evening when he left he had also rebuilt Laddies engine, timed it and set

the tappets and did half a dozen other jobs as well. Thank you, Jeff!
