Trevor, That rear wheel and Large sprocket are the Drive wheel off an old Ground drive Harvester.
Where the tyre tread is, would've originally been Angled cleats, to aid in traction..

Those front Wheels look very much like old Binder Wheels to me........

Look's like a Bitzer to me, That The boys built up during a wet week...........

Yes but Bugly didnt pick up on the fire bell, siren & firemans helmet, me thinks it might be his xmas prezi.

Did you also notice the controls look a lot like those from a boat as does the fuel tank under the seat.

Does he want to sell the bell?

Morris.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!
