  3. Sorry Nigel, going to put these to work! What model bolens do you have in??
  4. Chris

    Mystery package!

    Was that an imported job??
  5. A few years ago I brought a set of rear wheels & turf tyres for my bolens tractors on the bay They have been sat in the shed for years. I thought to myself I will fit a set of agri grip tyres so I have a set for my 1886. The other month, these poped up on the bay, brand new so I brought them & had them shipped down to me. At the weekend after buying some new tubes, I fitted them. Good when you own a tyre machine Just need some time to fit them to the tractor

  7. Sorry to here that Charlie. What about a larger bolens tractor which needs some tlc?? I was offered a tractor & deck at after the tractor fest. The owner was open to sensible offers as it needs work & engine put back in. Its a monster 18hp single cylinder tech PM me with your email & I can send you info if you wish
  8. That is very nice! Is that a home made build or an approved attachment made for MG crawlers?? I like the paint job

    I would rather it go as one lump Ian. We thought about removing the engine & box etc & scrap the rest. At this point in my life I am not going to have the time to do this project & as I have others to do/finish I wont have the funds
  13. The only reliable non-invasive test is with a leak down tester - not usually found outside a professional workshop. I have a leak down tester

    £350 OVNO for the whole vehical. Please note the tyres are not included Yes I can deliver to Hawkhurst if required after our baby is born
  17. Lets hope it purrs with a new carb You got a good spark??
  18. Thought I would ask you lot 1st I have a Landrover Discovery sat in the field with a good 3.9 V8 & Auto Box Its for spares only or an off road toy or fit the engine in your wheel horse Was owned by a friend who sadly died earlier in the year & I have been helping his widdow selling off his stuff Any interest??
  19. Its all in my head Iain Funny thing is I cant remember any Birthdays or important days
  20. Dont know?? One of the guys recons rust round the frame?? Dont know how we are going to get a replacement yet
  21. I poped out of the workshop on Friday for 10 mins to pick up some parts which had arrived When I got back, on of the guys came up to me & said something had gone bang in my workshop! Thinking that it may have been the landrover I had been working on had slipped of the axle stands. Wrong! Our old Case 885XL tractor winscreen had gone bang What a mess that will be to clean up. It was only parked in the barn next door!! Not bad since it was fitted in 1987
  22. My money is on the valves & ignition The coil is electronic, you cant do anything with it apart from replace at great cost. Have you changed the plugs, correct gaps etc?? If you say the carb is refurbed & tested it cant be that
  23. Looks good Ben My other half would go mental if she found that on our table!!
