I used a couple of pictures found online to send along with the carefully removed old decals for reproduction. Titch @ Machinery Decals has done it again! perfectly recreated decals to adorn both these machines....... Here they are wearing their new clothes! The Mustang's bar decal has proved a little more difficult, however it is being worked on!

Had a parcel delivery today from Ranger ( Doug ) another little project. after making a grader blade Doug was inspired to contribute some brushes so i could make a belly brush, many thanks mate. first thoughts to make a fixing plate to mount them on then attach them to the tractor useing the blade mounting hardware. it will have to wait till i catch up a bit with all the other projects ive half done but it keeps the brain ticking over. heres some photos for you to comment on

How about an NOS P5? For Sale.

You'll need replacements for when you wear the first two out

Got another box now, Norm, your 4 will be on their way Sunday when we go shopping be great for putting stripes in the lawn, or make a grain pusher for the farm.

Roof frames made. Floor frame should be done by tomorrow night. Once I get that I can finish levelling the base. How's the canopy coming on?

Mine haven't arrived yet. Unless two of those are for me? I'm thinking along the lines of mounting them on the blade. Maybe some QD clamp arrangement.

Not sure to put them on with a point in the middle facing forwards as you say Alain or straight like the blade with the choice of angling left or right

I think you should make a drive through wheelhorse wash with them 😀

Do you think they would work better fixed together on an angle, middle high point toward the front? Just thinking that debris needs to be pushed away

The latest is a little embarrassing. After doing all the work on the exhaust port of the engine and the fuel system it ran great, however the engine had what sounded like a tappet noise and I still had a problem with the charging system. I pulled all the panels off the engine and rigged up a temporary fuel tank so I could get a better idea where the noise was coming from. At that point I got distracted and then I had 12 months with no tractor time, resulting in no progress for 18 months I have three G14's and I love 'em. It is the only G model that has all the great features that were installed on the Husky's, with the additional benefit of a more powerful (14hp) engine. The G models were made at the time when Bolens where trying to match the prices of lesser machines and foolishly they did that by removing all the good bits. The other popular G model sold in the UK was the G10 which had nearly all the good bits removed. It still has a full size tractor type PTO and a tubed chassis rather than angle iron, but no sprung seat, no diff. lock, a belt clutch rather than an automotive one, no sealed beam headlights or ammeter. Andrew, if you have the chance to get a G14 at the right price jump on it, you will not regret it. Iain

What's the latest on your G14 Iain? How do you rate them too? Just been reading about the model.......

While we were at the Smallholders show we acquired a pair of ridgers so I thought I'd make another set today

Those look really nice, but I bet they will work even better. I wish I had a set. I may have to find some shovels and metal. Nice Job

Here's the photos i forgot yesterday

Great Job! If you would move the plows inside a little you could add a couple of discs at an angle and it would be a hiller
