It does indeed Hi Andrew, we did think about using the grinder but as the door was closed making it hard to get a power cable out there.. I'm not sure which is the worse word.. Restoration or Bolens Very much so Norm Hi Iain, it was not so much an electronic tag, more of a Kubota wing indicator... Handy if we loose the Lord in the dark you see Very good Chris For your viewing pleasure here;s the first video from the new workshop.

hello guys i got my ranger today from charlie, and im please she needs some work but its all there to attach. i cant beige i got a round hood, it runs needs a belt tensioner and tyres james

That should keep you busy for a while James

cheers Norm I think its a nice touch Only managed to Wheel it out of the workshop before tea for an arty shot I'm starting on the gauges and electrics next I think...

Good project there, JP. Keep you quiet and out of mischief for a while.

MOM answer to Mr T

The posty brought gifts this week. A new seat, battery and some led running lights. In between showers managed to get a bit more done... Firstly mounting my new seat, a kab p2 which is the same as the original raider had. The seat holes and spring holes don't match so the base has two new brackets made up. Then some light brackets on the front fenders And with running light fitted View from the new seat Finally new pin for the handbrake turned down and a teeny bit cut out of the fender so the handbrake clears. And not forgetting finally getting some primer on the hood and seat base before a quick stick together pic.

Lord Mower Land does look the part. Is that the old fashion version of an electronic tag he is wearing around his neck

Let production commence.

I am surprised an angle grinder wasn't used to cut the ribbon! I look forward to the restoration of your first Bolens Ian! You know it make sense!

It all starts now

Thanks Andrew, it was a shack decorating pressie from Ben Hi Iain, yep getting organized now though I've not found enough space for everything to have a home yet.. Some stuff may have to stay boxed up for a little while longer. I'm going to try and keep the new place tidy.. It's so nice to be able to get around the big bench without having to move or climb over stuff as it was in the old shack.. Well chaps, a couple of big milestones were passed today.. The first being I finally wired in my little radio to some big speakers via and old stereo thingy so now I no longer have to listen to tinny sounding rock music from the DAB radios little speaker and I now have the sound power to drown out Nigel's singing The second milestone we shall get to in a bit.. The workshop is now about 85% done.. Ok, I still need to bolt the lathe motor and pulley down.. An organized bench.. Quite possibly the tidiest and cleanest this big bench will ever look.. It's nice to have the bench space to bolt my sheet metal folder on to And as the big project bench was looking tidy I thought I'd take a few photo's of it as well And the second big milestone?? Well with the workshop being 85% done it means it's done enough to be operational.. (The remaining 15% will be done as it's needed).. So the only thing to do was to have an opening ceremony, for which the local royalty was called in to do the honors... It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Mayor of Mower Land "I pronounce this workshop open"!!
