Could upyou give me a link to the ebay page?

Another excellent restoration! Not only are there few people now who could make a quality item, there are even fewer who could repair one!

I've had tractors like that months of siting not knowing what was wrong and a couple hours after digging into it, puff, cough, sputter, running. I was afraid you were going to say you sold it

Update. Back in 2017 I replaced the seat cover with a red cover. I tried to fir it up but to no avail. I put in a new battery and though it turned over it just did not fired up. In 2018 I took it to my mate Chris who swapped the engine over with another Wisconsin. He swapped the carbs over and a few ignition components plus replaced the exhaust with another pepper pot one. It turned over but would just not fire but hampered by time and lack of space I collected it back off Chris and displayed it at Tractor Fest today. The smell of stale petrol was noticeable and the chap who was running the Howard's parts store suggested that I drain the stale fuel. With his help the fuel was drained (golden yellow) and with the help from Scott who is a member of MOM and a Bolens 850 owner, replaced the plug and reset the gap. I refilled the fuel tank with fresh petrol with added Redex. It spluttered and farted but came alive with clouds of smoke which eventually cleared. The long and short of it is that it fired up and runs very well and all the gears moves smoothly. A few tweaks such as inserting a new choke and throttle cables for example. Up to date photos will follow shortly.

Good to meet all of you at Biddenden Tractor Fest today and apologies to anyone I missed. Too much time spent talking and I didn't leave until 7:30pm with a sore throat! I didn't realise how many other people had also found themselves suffering at the hands of thieves. It seems that nothing is sacred these days! Doesn't matter what it is some bugger will take it away from you if they get the chance. Anyway I met some very interesting people and handed out fifty of my leaflets so let's hope that my tractor will turn up sometime. Regards to all, TCS.

Awesome! And something with the word Lucas on it that still works!

Your attention to detail Dicky amazes me .

Jonathan (expeatfarmer) and I live about 10-11 miles from each other and are friends from years back. I'll be exhibiting in the horticultural sections. Wheel Horses. Just ask for Norman. Tall, mature gentleman, Northern accent, white hair and with beard.

I would ask the members here to print your flyer and take it to every rally and I would include a statement that it might have been repainted

It was a 5.7 megabyte .bmp file, wont work for uploading. I reduced it and changed the file name

Got the Westwood collection out of the sheds this afternoon for a lineup photo or two...
