I used black paint.

As we say here in the States, it will turn on a dime and give you 9 cents change At full lock, the front and rear tires have about 1" clearance between them. The LKs came in 5 and 6 Hp versions, all of which were manual start. The early ones in 1964-66 (models 910-01 and 910-02) had a 6 Hp Briggs. In 1966 there was also the model 911-01 with a 6 Hp. Lawson engine. From 1967-1970 they all had 5 and 6 Hp Lawson engines. I have it's 'big brother' a 1964 Estate Keeper 7, and they are a lot of fun to operate. Takes a little getting used to it, but after than it's loads of fun. The are also great mowers as the deck is out front and cuts the grass before any wheels run over it. While you can't classify them as garden tractors, there was a front blade available for the LKs, and the EKs had a snowcaster available in addition tot he blade. My EK7 with a 32" snowcaster and with a 30" cylinder mower:

Was beginning to think it was all a work of fiction Gotta remember we all like pics

Not one of your decals is it Mark ??

Just a little update and photo's as requested. Yesterday I made a key for the trans drive pulley, to replace the one that was missing. (Pulley was welded on. ) The engine is only in place to line up the trans drive pulley. And somewhere to keep it. This morning I removed the tower from the e-tank, where it has been for a week. There's a couple of patches of stubborn paint that will get a dose of paint stripper.

I have not yet had a chance to collect my latest Bolens due to my illness over the Christmas Period but hope to get it organised shortly. In the meantime I taken some photographs of my Bolens catalogue showing examples of a Lawn Keeper plus some details. I watched several videos on these models and the articulation on these are incredible. .
