I remember seeing that on eBay about 4 or 5 months ago. Good to see it in your hands.
Have you got the Tractor Legacy Series: Garden Tractors by Oscar H Wills III? A very informative read and a good write up on Bolens and other American GTs.
I agree with Chris about trying to keep the original engine in if possible.
By the way Nick, your new avatar is a lot better than yesterday !
Very cool.
Don't tell me anymore ! LOL
The guy in N Devon knew the owner of the Bolens but the son did a job lot to save time and hassle. He was well annoyed to have been bypassed as he was supposedly meant to have first dibs on it.
Anything in Norfolk is Iain's domain ! As for Devon, I don't think they turn up that often except that H16.
Abbey Mowers is that in Tavistock? There was guy in N Devon telling me about a LF Bolens early last year but nothing came of it as his contact sold up to someone else. I am wondering if yours 1886 is that one?
PM sent!
That's a lovely looking tractor you got. Would love one for myself one day.......
Radmore and Tucker are still going strong in Exeter and I often pop in to buy stuff for my line of work.
Alain, another great score you got. I must get a bigger engined Bolens at some point . Is that a wheel trim on the back wheels? Will you be doing this one up? That dump trailer is a good find too.
