Had the MG6 out today, checking it over, fitting the bumper and toolbox ready for a rally next weekend.

Indeed you're not, Andrew. You and Nigel are disqualified for cheating and altering posts. Southerners! All we need now is verification and photo's.

Approx 1959 250 cc BSA ENGINE GOOD CONDITION WANTING TO SELL BUT NO IDEA OF VALUE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY OPINIONS

So was the Twenty One and Osprey but it's not any of them! The engine on the machine in question is mounted on an aluminium spacer block. In the 80s when replacement engines were relatively more expensive that they are today there were quite a few " cheap" engines on offer which were reputed to be "left overs" from various mower manufacturers production and were being disposed of at a discount. The problem was that they came in a mixture of crank lengths so the people offering such engines offered a selection of long blade bosses for the short cranks and a couple of different thickness spacers for the long crank ones; so it's just possible that the machine in question is a "blitza"

Whilst having a move round of stuff today I managed to line all 5 and a half Jobbers up for some photos...

ditto, ditto, cant wait to see what emerges from the cavern

Cant wait Alan, As long as its next weekend when I am home

Well, it's been a few days since the last post on the Bolens stash so I expect everyone has calmed down by now. Just before you nod off again, a little bit more news. I had a dig around at the Bolens, and other stuff graveyard, and took various photo's and details. As most of the tractors are well buried and boxed in decent photo's proved difficult to obtain. Need to clear a lot of clutter to move each tractor to a more suitable position. This will obviously take time. But fear not, the stash will live again. I hope to have a few in the "For Sale" ads very soon. Alan.

I did wonder if it was the one on the auction site not too far from me. I think I did really well not to bid on it, maybe the addition is wearing off Iain

Andrew, I think I can see your face in the reflection of the hood of your Bolens, GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

Sorry, but the hood decals aren't close to being correct. Those look more like a 1050 than an 800. Here are some pics of my all original 1964 800 so you can see what they should look like.
