Chris

Evening, Any of you guys know where to get spares for D200 tractors?? I know of one which needs a PTO blade clutch on the engine Any ideas??

Local caravan park

Got mine also today Paul

Sorry Paul. I have just sold the remains of the S12 carbs I had Plenty of bits for the carb you have fitted now

Put my entry in the post today Kev.

I am going to be at Ardingly on Sat & Wiston on Sun as its only down the road from me Taking a Bolens tractor so come & say Hi Chris

Hope your going to fit a new guard on that PTO shaft Nigel. HSE would have a field day

Dam! Just sold some of those carbs Richard

Nice. There was one of them on evil bay the other week That was painted blue I think Has that got hydraulics on the rear??

It can only get better than it is Ian Each cylinder should have 90-100psi when cold. Mine have 40 & 50. Raising to 60psi when hot As the valves are not doing there thing correctly, I have hot gases going up the intake manifold thus causing carb problems Have placed an order for parts so have to wait before I do open heart on the engine

Chris is not far from me. Surprised he sold you an engine. He likes to hang on to everything! Plenty of carb bits here & even a good piston, rings & con rod. Manifolds etc Some mag bits. All good 2nd hand Plenty of blade bits which I am going through Even got some new clutch control handles. How often do you need one of those!!

Yes seen sets fetch silly money. This set was relisted due to a time waster who never picked them up. He was way up north & made no contact! I got them for £200 less than the 1st time they were sold I was happy with what I payed & got some spares also Cant wait to try them out. Previous owner used them to cut an air strip & towed them with his car

I have been after a set of Ransomes Junior Gangs for a while now. Looking on that auction site, I found these not far from me Put a bid on & won thinking they were going to go for more than what I wanted to pay. Picked them up last night, ajusted the cylinders etc & delivered them to our field ready for use As the bolens 1886 is sick, I am going to get the HT20 out this week & sort & give it some work I am please with the condition of the gangs so should last a few more years

Well, still having problems with the engine but have now worked out whats wrong with help from a Kohler Expert Even though it fires up well. Some issues with the carb were sorted & now runs for a bit longer The problem is serious lack of compression Done a leak down test & it leaks like a sieve. So engine is coming back out for a birthday, fitment of new rings & valves etc Keep you posted

Man in Petworth. Would that be Mr Eames What kind of spares do you need??? PM me a list etc Thanks

Nice paint job! Got alot of spares for allen scythes which I am going to sell if you need anything

On his way to the Cemetary. RIP Ian

I ment 5 merlins owned by myself & Kevin Paul Theres a few more hinding in other collections

No but my mate Kevin whos local did. One of my Merlins is the 2nd one ever built. Between us I think the count is 5

Never thought Nigel would sell that! Must get on & sort mine out

Metal Thief

Looks very Lawnflite ish to me

It gets treated like a lawn

Heres my sweep off!! Got the lawn cut with the 1886 which is still playing up when it gets hot!! Got it going again & put a PROPER Sweeper on an SCH 40 inch job

Just you wait till I get my rig going again This will be turf wars Your lawn looks very tidy Ian
