Beeby Bros Ploughing Pair come to Cheffins.
The Beeby name needs no introduction and is synonymous with the art of steam ploughing and early agricultural contracting. The pair of Fowler ploughing engines are the No. 4 Set out of a fleet of 11 run by the Beeby contracting business. Sadly few complete sets still remain and only a handful avoided the melting pot, so this is a great opportunity to acquire a real piece of agricultural history. 1642 (NR1213) and 1641(NR1212) are in good condition with 1641 needing a new firebox but 1642 is ready for inspection and is hoped to be in steam on sale day.
Also on offer is a Marshall S Type compound roller ‘Enoch’ engine no. 82517 (RR7519) and various steam spares to include 70no. unused rubber strakes, hand operated cylinder boring machine and a slide valve re-facing machine various sized governors, cast iron name plates and a large quantity of workshop miscellanea.
Further information will be available in due course.
