I thought I showed you how to fix those old bent up tanks. You need to pay attention . You need to save that you can or are you a parts changer

I've had this unknown O&R powered pole trimmer for a few years (thanks to Wallfish for his help), I'm not 100% sure of the intended use, if anyone has seen one or know what it is please let us know, the pictures below are from the ePay listing. Here are some pictures of the engine & cutter assembly as it arrived and has been for a few years since. David

The other thing don't put a 240lb man on a kids toy cracked the motor bracket a little . weight limit 45 lb besides that it hard to get up

Well she's down off the shelf and on the counter . need to check it over and get some extra insurance ( just in case ) I hate to put fuel in it because I will have to take the carb back off and clean it . but its on like donkey Kong now !!!! Need to figure out how to put seat belts on her and away will go.

Another mini-bike for everyone to add to their want/search lists. I found the Holder Micro Cycle on another forum a while back, it uses the O&R Series 20A engine and the gas tank is part of the bike frame. https://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/holder-micro-cycle-parts-or-info.80630/ https://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/holder-micro-cycle.50824/ The 4 page magazine article from "Mini Bike Guide" November 1971 gives the incorrect spelling of Olsen & Rice instead of Ohlsson & Rice; https://oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?media/holder-micro-cycle-november-1971-test-report.112533/ https://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/holder-micro-cycle.82912/ David

Hi everyone has anyone got any information or parts for an Alpina Finger Mower namely the two sets of handles and transport wheels

thanks Paul

Interesting I hadn't spotted the original decal for the newer generator was a Model 67, that does explain why the base is missing, it would have had the large tank as shown in the manual*, the older ones with the smaller tank are most commonly a Model 300 (a few are Model 350). Also noticed the starter is labelled AEP. David *I really need to photo the generator that manual came with (Model 5001-1).

Decals arrived today to finish them off...

OK, went for the crazy daredevil ride of a lifetime. Check out the risky off roading over the grass! Youtube was a pita so shortened it to copy directly. Hopefully you guys can view the video but let me know if you can't. Just threw some stuff on it so I could ride it and thought it would be funny. Still have lots to do but doubtful I'll ride it after it's done and painted. Now it's Terry's turn for that skateboard IMG_0659.MOV Had some traction issue with the friction wheel. I'll figure out how to crank that down so it bites into the tire better. You can see it peeling the tire in the pic with all that black on the frame.

When we are asked about Bolens tractors, it is often a question about the rear axle drive pin on geared Tube Frame tractors. The usual question are, "why can't I push the tractor?", "I put it in gear and let up the clutch and nothing happens?" and "what do I do if the pin is seized?". I am sure others get asked the same questions. I decided to cover this in a video as it is easier to show people a video than explan the details
