  1. Give up for today with trying to get it to turn over/run . Iv connected a new battery and I get absolutely nothing . What should I check next is there a solenoid I’m not seeing ? Could it be the starter ?
  2. Could it be possible that the one I have being the 1966 serial number is different to the 67,68 and 69 ? Only when I google 1966 I find these images . I’ll check out Rick and Brian for parts 👍
  3. Been having a little look about and found a few pictures of what’s left on there and the bonnet I have don’t seem to have been cut all the rolled over part and shape looks original. I may be very wrong though ? I’m going to hop out to the car and grab the replacement in a mo and see if it unscrews at the muffler . The jump pack is charging and I’m hoping to see if I get any life out of it tonight 😊
  4. It was an interesting photo book to look through and it was put together really well .
  5. Great pictures everyone wish I’d got more .
  6. Great weekend had this past weekend met lots of new people to put forum names to faces . This was only my second show and still find it amazing how people who don’t know you make you feel so welcome . thanks all for being so welcoming 👍
  7. It was great meeting you this weekend it was nice to see the 1050 running. Also thank you very much for helping me get one step closer to getting the 850 going with the addition of the new exhaust.
  8. I’ve just put Carlisle super lugs on the rear of the horse and Duro on the front . I expect it will set me back a little but will be worth it 👍
  9. Well if it’s still about in September once tractorfest is out of the way and the penny pot starts to fill I’ll give you a shout 👍
  10. I’ll keep my eyes open for a new or used exhaust . Tears have split unfortunately so I think it will be a set of 4 . Im umdec on leave as is or paint 🤔
  11. Does it have the wrong air filter/carb set up on it ?
  12. Today I collected a 1966 Bolens 850 after a 20yr rest . The engine is free body and frame are not in bad shape but the square tyres will all need to be replaced . It’s certainly very different to my wheel horse I’m looking forward to putting life back into it .
  13. Well my daughter wants to join me at the shows and be more involved so I her grandad treated her to this . It’s an 1988 227-5 with the Kawasaki 540 engine . It’s been parked up in a barn for 3 years . Fresh petrol and a jump start and she runs fairly well . It will be a three way project between me,grandad and my daughter.

  14. It’s the brightest red the powder coaters do and they call it Poppy Red .
  15. I’m hoping once I’ve got it back together and accumulated a few pennies I can get a deck and some other attachments so as I can work it a bit . Thank you I’m still spotting things now it’s going together that I’m going to change after the show ready for next seasons shows .
  16. I’ve had 127 photos printed off that I took durin strip down so I’m hoping that helps . I’ve got 3 more bits waiting to be painted but I’m going to assemble as much as I can .
  17. Bit more done as I’ve just got a load of parts back from the blasters/powder coaters. Also the rear tyres turned up Carlisle 23x10.50-12 .
  18. Looking good 👍 it’s been kept well looking at the pics .
  19. Thank you for the input guys I may have a look at extending the hitch bar as it’s a cool looking little thing to put behind once using the gang mowers .
  20. What a nice machine and very original .
