BOLENS STASH UPDATE

Recommended Posts

I nearly took the tractor home but I don't think Phil or the boss lady would have been impressed. :angry:

 

I have found Phil a good set of 2nd hand rear tyres for it now which is a start :D

The B450 when it was a bit younger.  About 43 years younger. Copied from a partly faded photo.

My son, having a drive :) is now coming up to 50. John's land was a lot tidier then.

Can't remember where exactly we had been to collect this load, but everything apart from the two

wheel trailer has recently gone to pastures new. Both trailers were loaded with goodie's.

A big thanks to Chris for transporting it to it's new home. Also thank you to Alan & John for assisting with making a path for

removal from the barn. :thumbs:

 

I'm looking forward to getting both the tractors sorted and out & about.  :) . Certainly beats repairing mowers & stripping

jet engines; just doesn't pay the bills :(

Had another exciting day with John and Alan, found a few small bits in an old caravan also  a 56lb weight for the

front of my ploughing tractor but the biggest surprize was 4 new tri-rib tyres in the barn that ide been in dozens

of time's and missed them and they were right in front of me

Chris is like a sniffer dog on heat. God only knows what he'd find if we let him off his lease. I, and other visitors, had also

been in the area where the tires were found countless times without spotting them.

 

He also found part of a Uni-Horse tractor which was sold a while ago buried under a pile of old window frames in the

middle of John's lawn ( for want of a better description ).  John has a very strange storage system.  Also found was

another peace offering for Pam.

 

He needs to bring his Track Horse with dozer blade on his next visit.  Plenty of undergrowth to clear which could be

hiding even more goodie's.  Thanks again for the help Chris.

I'm sure John has a secret hidy hole and when we aren't looking he sneaks little jewels into the shed for us to find to

keep us on our toes and see the expression on our faces.
I was amazed to find the unihorse cover in the most unlikely place, just goes to show we have to keep looking

Another heavy lump on it's way to a new home.  The second Colchester lathe being moved from John's shed.

 

This move went very smoothly and a lot quicker than expected with a bit of forward planning.  A few rollers, a hefty crowbar, 

a winch and it was on the trailer in no time.  A few photo's of the event.  Thanks again Philip.

We are now getting near the end of finding new homes for John's stash as most of the major items have now gone.

Still some reserved items to be collected when convenient, plus the contents of the two small caravans to be sorted. 

These are mainly car parts, Austin 7 /10 plus numerous other small odds and ends.

Unless we find some more stuff in the undergrowth with the Trachorse

 

Chris to the rescue! Clearing with the trachorse now that I'd like to see, might have to pay a visit when and if that happens :D

 

oh yea if you find a pot of gold when clearing, that's mine I dropped it there last time :P
