Good to see something a little unusual. I think these were green originally?

Brilliant bit of engineering James. Great video as well.

I could knock something up like that in 45 hours and it won't look any different!

"a tyreing job but I'm wheely glad i did it."

That bombed!

I ordered my carb repair set from the US plus a few other bits and bobs for the 1050. I will have to glue the float back together as a temporary repair as these are no longer available but do crop up as NOS occasionally on eBay USA.

I remembered it vaguely; it's not for me as I am scared of needles

Nigel, what was your business in the Old Town out of interest?

Over the last couple of days I became aware of stale petrol smells in my garage. After checking my modern Lawnmowers and chainsaws, I narrowed it down to my Bolens 800. It was leaking from the carb so I pulled off the carb to drain the stale fuel. I have turned off the fuel tap at the petrol tank but not at the carb end. I also noticed that the float was broken which could explain why it was leaking. Anyhow I now need to put this together. I hope Brian (Bolens1000) from the States can help me out with a new float for the carb and carb kit. I will clean it all out with carb cleaner once I got all the necessary bits. I have put it all back together so I know where everything is. The fifth photo shows the broken float in a old washing up bowl. The last two photos shows the decals made by Mark.

The last sentence cracked me up!

Very nice work Harry and typical Devonian soil too. Did you do this yesterday before the rain came n? It was pretty wet around Newton Abbot this morning.

That's looking darn cool James. Actually the tyres set it off very nicely.

Yes I seen those in Hastings Old Town/ Rockanore. Still earning thier keep.

Have you thought of getting a Bolens? Superb tractors.

Looks great. Where was the pedal car Museum in Sussex?

Or he forgot to take the lens cap off

How many have you got confirmed, coming to RPT Chris? I will be there as a visitor though on the Sunday BUT I will be an exhibitor next year with a Bolens or two.

I love the details of your workmanship in the photo. I bet it will be better in the daylight.

Fantastic haul Charlie and just love that the Grey Fergie is local too.

Inspirational as always.

You want to hear what my wife say! Swear like a trooper she does!

My advice is never tell your Better Half it true value otherwise it will be gore before you know it!

That is a nice looking tractor and always cool to see something different. Chris will be on here shortly I would think.
