Triumph66

Thanks for the positive comments on this RAM. I am hoping Nigel will find out more about its history. I think this is a '61 model.

I Seen a lot of these in gold and I think White/ cream came into standard form from the mid 60s. Bolens don't half make it difficult to ascertain paint colours on the older ones.

Thanks Nigel, an absolute gem of a find. Love it! Will sort out collection/payment via PM. That red will have to go........ 1960 to 63 and I think 8hp? It should be gold with white wheels if it's 1963 but before that date I think it was green. T.je I'd number will glean more information.

Lovely looking vintage motorbike you got there. Have you any more vintage motor bikes?

That's a lovely looking farm there and outbuilding; in the UK you will be hard push to find a tidy farm. The WH look good against the backdrop of the old building.

Tom, I saw these attachments on Monday when I visited Ian and Nigel to settle up on the Huffy Broad Lawn ride on. They look in really good condition though I didn't see the cylinder mower attachment. As others have said, a good haul. Well done Andrew

It's not me but I know who it is. Lucky so and so! Gone to a very good home and will follow this project with interest.

Nigel, yes you supplied the teabag but the art is in the skill of brewing which Ian is still learning.......

I was up all night visiting the toilet....... No, good to see you too and I look forward to having another cuppa too. Cheers

To my eye, I think photo 5 is the 'winner'........

I saw the Creation this afternoon and can confirm it look damn good in the flesh.

I collected the plough this afternoon; here are some more photos of it.

George, Thanks for sharing the photos of the ploughing competition. Cheers Andrew

I called in this afternoon to see Ian and Nigel to settle up on the Huffy Broad Lawn ride in purchase (it looks better in the flesh/metal) and I saw birth thier handiwork. Both look damn impressive and for those that don't do projects, there's a lot of work and skils that goes on behind the scenes. I look forward to seeing both their machines on the circuit later this year.

Ian, Looking forward to seeing this and Nigel's project early next week. As ever, looking damn good. Cheers Andrew

Brilliant! I thought the Volvo was the best natural musician there!

I just hope today we don't attract the wrong sorts .......

An absolute steal to my mind.

A good haul there Chris and gone to an appreciative owner too.

The more I see of your tractors and their implements; I am beginning to hanker for one. That rotavator look the business.

Nigel, I like your avatar! Saucy!

That's looking good Ian. Are you putting an armchair on your creation?; it's plenty wide enough!

I have sold several vehicles which I have regretted. I have been a classic car buff for years. I regretted selling my original Morris Traveller to finance a new central heating system for our new then house. I also regretted selling my Series 3 Land Rover which I have put back on the road after years of neglect for some other boring financial necessity. Though I was sad to sell the VW Bay camper van in orginal condition I made a mint on it. I sold it to a guy who had more money than sense and I know he wouldn't look after it as he was a follower of fashion. A pity but money talks regrettably. I had an Agrati Capri scooter which I sold to a guy who promised to restore it but saw him advertising it the next day on eBay..... I find it difficult to sell and I am a hoarder by nature.

Great looking working tractors, the Gutbrods. Look forward to seeing the action shots and I hope the weather holds for you.

When I got my 1254, I too discovered it was missing a battery tray, air filter top, knackered wiring loom and had no exhaust. This seem to be a common theme with Bolens as many are missing these items.The seat didn't have the seat bracket and the I had the wrong fuel tank . Fortunately all sourced except the wiring. I can recommend Rick aka blackjackjakexxix from GTTallk who is very happy to ship parts over to the UK and his parts are very reasonably priced.
