I know where there is one

Yep!. Had sussed all that Neil , I hope you are able to get over the mourning of your reluctant sale. But you also really need to get rid of one of your good ones , .........so you are able to lavish more attention on the remaining Herd Regards.

Heathergill Vintage Club are having their annual ploughing match on the 13th of March 2017. To be held again at Brisco, Carlisle. Last year was the first time a horticultural class was run. Although only 5 entries it created a lot of interest. So this year lets see more horticultural entries. I'm hoping the Scot's lads will be down again and bring some more with them. As we English, ie Jonathan and myself were out numbered last year, how about some of you English lads helping even things out. I'll post entry details nearer the date.

...They try to fly! This is what is left of my van after they landed on my roof/windscreen as I was driving home a couple of nights ago. I walked away with just a bit of whiplash. Its quite scary seeing the underneath of a car heading very fast towards your windscreen.

Thanks Iain, the suspension arm did need the strengthening for peace of mind if nothing else. Ahh, the next vid.... It's going to be entertaining for sure, a lot of extra camera work and editing.. Thanks Joseph for me, tell him to continue spreading the word Thanks Richard, yeah the subs on MooTube are a laugh.. They can't get it quite right Well the lower arms have had the treatment and are now a lot stronger too..

with Honda carbs, two little tricks that I picked up over the years to stop the carb flooding is to take the float needle out, give it a spray in carb cleaner and then wipe the seat of the needle back and fourth a few times with some coarse rag, similar to terry nappies material. Also try refitting the carb bowl and tightening it up with the fuel turned on and running out. Don't know why but particularly the last thing seems to work well?

I have already started looking, can't believe how few are about.

Really lucky that you are able to post this and really happy we don't have to hear about an alternate ending

Richard , it was prized from my fingers & I'm still in mourning & my flag is still flying at half mast . The Rj 35 was never sold in UK and as far as I know Chris Sutton & myself are the only owners of the 35 & both were imported from US , there are very few Rj58/59 in UK I only know of a handful of these that still survive , Suburbans are also rare here in UK and not many were sold .

If I were to buy a WH, it would be a Suburban or a RJ one to compliment my Bolens Ride a Matic. It is a great looking machine that oozes character. A great find Nigel!

Ps dot not ask me how i got a photo of the gate on here.

Great Vid work Ian, very impressive !. If you want a laugh though, run it with the Subtitles On . Show the awkward Lower Arm swivel Joints to the Press and scare it/them out

Not correcting, just adding. Early RJs (55-57) I believe had pressed steel Chassis/frames and Cast Iron Steering wheel? I'm Impressed Nigel !. Beat me. And you managed to prise it from someone's 'Warm Live Fingers' ! ............ I'm still hoping to get one one day.

Looking good Ian, I like your idea for strengthening the suspension arms. I have high expectations for the next video and after the last one you have already set the bar high Joseph has been telling all his friends at school about how great the footage is of you handing yourself a mug of coffee/tea. Iain

Pre accident it was a very tidy little van.

I found this Forum on Ohlsson utiity motors by accident. I have quite a collection here. I have not looked at them in years. I have to find time to see what I have laying around here. If I recall i have a Skill saw, 2 hedge trimmers, a generator, 1 or 2 chainsaws, a 1/2" drill, an Octura model boat setup like new, maybe an outboard motor, possibly another item. I had NOS covers, tank, and misc motors apart, I have a large plastic divider with small NOS parts and a repair manual. It has been many years since I looked it these items. They may all be there or not. I just have to find the time to look for them and re-inventory them. If I do I will post more on them here.
