Chris

Sure we can send a container from the UK to help

I have had a few of these over the years & fixed a few for others Must say, that yours must be one of the best of that age arround. Most have rotted away by now

No Andrew its all worn out & you best sell it to me to fix Glad its all working out with the tractor

Now looking at the pics I am sure its not Both green though!

Iain has one of these

Hi & Welcome. I saw that bolens on ebay??? Thought about it, but has I have 4, a house, baby & angry woman if I buy any more

Very good Andrew!

Just wondered if any of you lot have or know who brought that large collection of WH & attachments from that auction site the other week??

Looks like another wheel horse in your collection Chris Is it a runner??

These guys then?? http://www.allterraintyres.co.uk/index.php?main_page=page&id=2 Maybe I will give them a go when I need some agri tyres for the 1050

If you say so Iain, I dont remember

Havent had my renewal yet Give it until next week then I will chase them

Thats funny Ian, everybody else says the same about the loader Anybody got any contact details for Simon Cole????

No they wont Andrew Better fit on my 1050 Your a right magnet for Bolens items lately A good find

Dam that blower was on my turf patch then & I missed it It will prob turn up on ebay

Love the pics Iain, Think you need a bigger trailer next time I feel a trip to see my long lost uncle when the weather warms up & I will pop in for a test drive I love the working clothes look I dont own all the HT20s, just 2 of them

Must be rare in the UK, Iain knows of one other HT20 in the UK with a Front End Loader. Sure there must be some more rotting away else where. Just been watching some in action on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLnDExyXiYA

The front loader should not take mutch to remove Andrew. I do have 3 loader tractors which I look after at work just up the road, so may have to see if I can borrow one for the job to unload

I dont even know how I am going to get it off the trailer yet I do have some spare rear tyres, not mutch good when the wheels dont turn cos the back end is full of muck

No I have not been flavour of the month, hence the sell of of a few other machines

Right then, time to show off this very rare beast of a Bolens tractor which has joined my collection. My thanks go to Iain who pointed out to me & I beat him to it on a deal then a long distance transport problem I had in getting it brought over from Co Down, Northan Ireland to Sussex I did in the end found an Irish machinery haulier who had room on a lorry which was heading for Oxford. I ended up meeting it at a engineers in Warwickshire who had a telehandler suitable to lift it out of the lorry trailer & onto my trailer. Its a very poorly HT20 c/w rare front loader & Brantley back hoe. Its been sat as a wreck for approx 20 years according the the guy I brought it from. Various parts missing inc rear fender & hydrostat unit for the back axle. The tractor engine is a mess & is stuck solid. Its going to be a massive project to under take as all hyraulic rams need overhauling due to rust & pipe work rotten & wont be cheap to replace. The plan will to be fit the loader/digger onto my other tractors & the tractor will be broken up for spares as its too far gone to restore in some areas in rear axle which is full of mud & rust. Now this has got to be rarer than a D200 wheel horse

I like that alot Andrew Your wife is going to kill you But I know how that feels The guy in the overals looks like me from the side

It will be heading to Norfolk at some point Iains collection will have a yellow one soon I would have liked to offered to every one but I have my reasons Thanks Iain

Just an update. I am sorry guys, but have had to sell the Cub on. I have another project arriving soon, so having to make space etc for it Dont worry its another forum member whos going to give it some love like I planned to do

Don't spend all your cash or you wont have enough for the Merlin They will keep you busy
