And goes down again a small hole was cut out the seat pan new metal for said hole
Holes marked
Then drilled
Finished plate
Then there was no hole
Then the problems started got to this stage and went to weld it up with the mig and poof didn't want to play so out came the trusty inverter and got it finished needs grinding down but then a big ups van came
new seat bargain on evil bay 20 of my finest imperial credits of the realm and bolted in
And looking threw my parts found a seat that's abit better than the one it came with but is salvageable also found a better seat pan wheel arches and a few beauty shots
Had a blonde moment today forgot to see what size the fuel pipe was I'm guessing standard 8mm? anyone got an idea so I can get some on my travels? Cheers darren
Ha another good look at it this evening the handle on the left (deck handle?) is seized so gouged some wd down the top so hopefully that will work and loosen it off. Looked at the fuel pipe as there was a damp patch on the floor on the left hand side where the pipe is rotted out and cracked. No problem was expecting that as it's been sat for a while. Other than that not done a great deal as I serviced a chainsaw for the father in law.
Well had an hour or two on it This afternoon chucked an old battery on it chucked some fuel in and jumped it of the car fired up after a couple of turns ran sweet as a nut no smoke an drove it round the yard a few times hi low box works fine gears are a bit hard to find but nothing major

Yeah seats well rotted and the seat pan/arches are a bit ripe in the middle but mechanically it reasonably good got a seal weeping on the gearbox/hub and only got an exhaust down pipe no silencer or anything an the pto is missing but I can live with out that for the moment
Maybe a few of you can remember I put my beloved wheel horse b111 up for sale as I didn't have the time with a new born boy. Anyways it sold hated seeing it go but I still had my little mustang to play with. Now that's back up and running I was missing having a "big tractor" so after searching eBay for a few weeks came across this at a reasonable price and couldn't resist I know it's a wheel horse with a 12 hp Kohler and by the remains of a reg number I'm guessing 1972 but no idea on model any ways a few pics hope some one can tell me what I've got
Thinking of selling my wheel horse as a new arrival back in November means I haven't got the time to spend on my hobbies and it's a shame for it to be just sat in the unit collecting dust. It will come with a cutting deck that's seen better days but could be sorted easily with a bit of time and patience. Been a good work horse the 4 years I've had it. Will need a new battery but runs and starts on the key. Be sad to see it go thinking around £220 for it. Located near GLASTONBURY
Been offered a bolens g8 any body know anything about them I know it's a vert engine tractor but pictures I've seen don't match any on google cheers Darren
