no its staying patina look i think its truer to its origins that way besides i have 8 more in a less pretty state to restore

nice bit of publicity for kgs racing/mower services mate

well i thought it was about time i got on with a few bits with the old nash mowers particularly the latest arrival that came 3 weeks ago from wanstrow somerset from my mate jason i knew the spark had gone so required a points clean luckily this machine has the inspection hole in the flywheel so easy once that was attended to she fired straight up i had hoped to video the proceedings but before i could get the camera going it ran out of fuel i had only used a thimble of fuel anyway i will get a vid up soon if you can see through the cloud of smoke they produce when running here are a few pics anyway now ive given her a bit of a clean up now all i need is some new rollers for the old girl and she will be just peachy

quads are far more dangerous!!!!

oh yeah !!!!!

ahh i see to be honest i know simon at action watersports he is a friend of mine his skiis are old and very tired when i bought the ski i first used it on his lake but i used to be able to get from one end to the other in about 8 seconds so it became very boring when you ride a big ski like mine it becomes easy it has reverse and turns on a sixpence if you want it too i think i need to take you out for a little ride on the sea you will notice the difference i ski out of the varne boatclub im the jetski section captain there its a much better atmosphere than at the lake where it costs a fortune to ski its expensive enough anyway with petrol costs shes my baby i always wanted a jetski and several years ago i was lucky enough to be in a position to be able to buy one naturally i bought the biggest most powerful one i could get mty hands on before that i had only ridden the hire skiis at the lake in lydd i can tell you that the day i bought mine i did my proficentcy training in the solent in hampshire it was a real shock going from a 650cc 2 stroke ski to a 1200 4 stroke injected monster ill never forget that rush it makes me grin every time i ride her

i bet you did nigel if you found jetskiing hard work you werent riding the right one my ski is very stable and fast it revs out at 7k nothing for a 1200 injected ninja based engine it plains at 75mph you can cruise all day at just over tickover in river estuaries or gun it out at sea which i like to do off dungeness point it gets ropugh out there and you can get some serious air under the hull where did you have a go at skiing nigel?

thought id post a picture of my other non mower related toy she,s a real goer and extremely good fun and fast!

its up to the customer if it becomes a trade in i will persue a used deck further thanks for the advice though

i thought you had retired!

here are a couple of wheel horses that have come in for service/repairs this is a lovely clean machine with a big kawasaki engine on board i wouldnt mind owning this one this is quite fast for a lawn tractor unfortunatley the deck has had it and cant be replaced unless it was custom fabricated

why didnt you put a pic of your thumb up too

thats brilliant massively overpowered which is also good does a good job by the looks of it too nice work

im not collecting that for you

its great mate

not a bad idea that because quite a lot of the are shaft drive honda kwak certainly

my workshops are all full with other vintage mowers at the moment what with the new/old job i havent had time to sort it all out and i just cant stop buying stuff oopps

no shes seen it not that bothered really besides shes just nas bad about collecting furniture

well ive done a few bits to the mobility scoot project today mainly stripped the quad down and removed the rear end of the scooter here it is it would seem that ive sorted the picture issues i was having my iphone doesnt like taking photos in the upright position i need to hold it side on! stupid phone

good idea mate im just going to update the project ive stripped out the quad to a rolling chassis now its looking very promising ill post some more side on shots in a bit

the original wheels wont fit on that axle koen

well after sampling nigels mobility scooter i just had to have a bash at building one myself so ive managed to source a scooter thanks ian and garry and for the back end ive found a good donor axle with reasonable sized wheels thanks nigel for sorcing this for me here are the pics of it they will probably be arse about face so sorry in advance here is the scoot here is the back end i reckon it will work just fine i think it will need the front wheels too though edit of photos for you ben, nigel

cheers mate yes its ali im thinking soda blasting it then laquer to keep it shiney its on the list anyway thanks paul i saved it from the scrap yard it runs and cuts well height adjuster works well too just needs doing up going to have to find another mountfield plastic raised decal though not going to be easy i dont think

i found this forlorn old girl at the back of the workshop today and gave it a good home it needs a tidy up and a grassbox but its a runner

is this getting a harley engine
