I've just put my Suffolk Punch mark VII away for the winter, gave it a 50 year service (it was bought by my father) repainted one or two parts, apart from a fuel tap, silencer and a few starter cords it's as it was bought, had to fix the starter recoil spring, it had snapped near the end where it hooks over a peg, heat the bit you have to bend to dull red to take the temper out of the spring steel or it will snap. I might replace the cutting cylinder bearings on the next service, (next year).
