At last I collected the Lawn Keeper along with a few implements (a tiller and a mowing deck) this morning from North Devon. The seller is a really nice guy with his own Bolens G14. I pressure washed the LK plus the implements this afternoon and they are safely stored under cover. My son removed the plastic seat from the LK. The rust is only surface rust. The plan is to renovate the LK with a fresh paint job, replacing the MTD engine with a more appropriate one and to find a suitable seat. It's a fairly light machine and is very manoeuvrable.

Got some paint on the main body this afternoon.

Hello Guys! I thought I'd start this topic off not only for me but for everyone else as well.... I was just wondering what shows are you guys exhibiting at this year..? maybe it will give others ideas of where to go as well

Cracking looking machine, good find !!

Glad to see you have got them. If that was me, I would just oil them all up & leave them as is I doubt you will never find a deck for the LK, but you never know if a poorly scrapper may turn up

Can't wait to start bolting things on, couldn't resist putting the polished brass oil pressure guage in, not original but piece of mind knowing there's pressure and the big ends fine.

Excellent Andrew Looks a fun bit of kit So is that the deck for the lawn keeper? What engine should the lawn keeper have? I can see you'll go in to restoration mode soon, which, if your speed of collecting tractors and attachments is anything to go by, you'll have these machines looking shiny by summer

you can apply dry if you mark out with masking tape for a straight edge - or you can use soapy water and squeegee the water out both work. For small pieces I apply dry, starting by removing only a small amount of the backing to stop it all sticking at once!

Thanks guys, finished the upper dash panel too. It's a lot easier than painting and lettering Plus I can change the words...

Very tidy Mark. Look good.

Very nice!

Latest sticker order arrived today, so the lower dash panel is complete.

did a bit more today
