Some decals on and a track

Thinking of selling my wheel horse as a new arrival back in November means I haven't got the time to spend on my hobbies and it's a shame for it to be just sat in the unit collecting dust. It will come with a cutting deck that's seen better days but could be sorted easily with a bit of time and patience. Been a good work horse the 4 years I've had it. Will need a new battery but runs and starts on the key. Be sad to see it go thinking around £220 for it. Located near GLASTONBURY If at first you don't succeed Use a bigger hammer

Thanks Iain... My plan to get the back looking right? See below Ta muchly Andrew.. An armchair is an interesting thought, but there isn't the space.. The photo's make things look wider than they are.. This morning started with some cardboard templates to try and work out what would look right.. But before I could turn the cardboard into steel I need to A... Make the center bit first.. And B.. Find some steel to make it out of! Treasures from the scrap pile Adding a curve to the center bit.. Yes that is a broom handle I'm about to fold the metal around As it turned out the curve was a tad too tight so it was reshaped around a scaffold pole.. As Nigel (thanks mate ) has a bead rolling machine I thought I'd put it to good use and roll the traditional Wh swage line in the back.. And now the part which ties the arches and center section together... I need to tweak the shape a little and add the swage line tomorrow, then it can be welded in... I have to say I'm quite chuffed about how the back end has come together A view from underneath.. The flanges will be staying as they will add a handy bit of strength to things once they are plug welded together. The flange will also be used for mounting the fender pan, keeping the mounting bolts nicely hidden away..

SOLD

Really uncommon version of a Montgomery Wards 8hp ride on mower with the hydrostatic transmission option, I got this for 50US. It came with two decks, one side discharge and one rear discharge, all the lights and cigarette light work, I don't smoke, but wonder if I can plug a DVD player into it

I'm Sure I can repair the deck, it's easy shapes to fabricate,it's a1969 36 inch made in Belgium and the Blade is a 1968 42 inch made in South Bend. Very pleased with it all and as I said a surprise to find it

Managed to get the other bits out of the van and here's a few photos

Looking good in black Norm, my vote is all black, or as my mate Mick says "I want it painted black"

Got the hood stand finished painted and in place. The top part is only sitting there while I decide whether or not to leave it silver. Not the best of photo's, but comments welcome?

Looks like it has hardly been used

Looks great, sounds like a steal at $50

$50 or £50? I take it $50. Looks really nice. One very good buy.
