Hi Folks, by God you've all been busy.. I'm shed building again.. sadly (??) things have not turned out well since we moved, so without going into detail, I'm moving out!! Back to a cottage I was at about 12 years ago, farm cottage, on my own!! ( well, and my dog!) new office set up, which will exceed here by scores and, yes, another shed build.. Shed has started life now, got the carcass up & square.. I'm not getting any younger and believe me I know about doing this... but I love doing it... After Christmas when all in, I'll get back to the forum a bit more if you'll still have me... Personal Life?? Huh! I don't need one!!

he does look smart , ive made him a white beared for his next vidio

It happened again, I got first dibs on a mid 60s Bolens Lawn Keeper. This is the one that pivots in the middle. It looks to be solid but the seller recently scrapped the mowing deck (ouch!) which is frustrating to say the least. I need to find an original engine to replace the modern one installed or at least a more appropriate style one and to replace the seat as well. I would love to get a front mounted deck for it but that will be very hard to source. The good news is that it's up and running. It's local to me ( for once!) and as usual I will post some photos of it when I get it back home. These are rare in the US and are even rarer in the UK and I felt it needed saving.

That's the spirit, Titch. Been there, done it and got the tee-shirt. Twice!

Hello Titch It was great to see you at Newark for a chat, sorry it has not worked out for you mate, hope your new abode all works out ok All the best Paul and Wendy (and Bella)

Hey Titch! good to have you back, sorry to hear of your personal troubles... Get some more pics of the shed up mark

You never cease to amaze me Nigel!! I'm coming down there next year and see how good this tea is!! Titch

I would not be too surprised if the mower was still in good shape, after all it is a Bolens. I will leave others to pass judgement on the lady. I wish I had not seen this, I really want one now (the mower that is).

Bet the mower & the lady are not in that good shape now

Just found this from a 1966 brochure. Tractor looks good too

Another great video. It sounds to me like you and Nigel are building up to a Christmas special video.

Great one Andrew, I'm pleased you got it. Looking forward to the pictures. Your are getting a great and growing collection. Iain

Excellent news Andrew Thought you'd gone a bit quiet on the buying front How did you get another one agreed by your wife? Sounds very interesting though. Its one of these?

A mate of mine has a lawn keeper, its all there if I remember. I have seen it. It did come with a spare bare new deck which we worked out was for the estate keeper. I think I saw yours on the net??

Must be cold in your workshop with all that frost round your chin Ian

Because they looked cool
