Special Delivery Spud is the sixth episode of the third season.
Plot
Bob and Wendy seek to replace an old worn out saw when they find it's all but useless while building a fence for Mrs. Potts, but before Mr. Dixon arrives with them, Spud decides to help with the deliveries, though unfortunately he does it so carelessly that everything ends up in the wrong place. The team is then forced to right this blundering error.
