I won't be going after all. I get wet and muddy enough at work anyway.

Ian, Excellent photos and descriptive text. I am looking forward to seeing more as they pop up. I am certainly planning to go to this one again or Sedlescombe. Andrew

Very unusual

My book arrived whilst I was away on holiday. A fascinating book with some very tempting models. Need to arrange an overdraft.......

Was it so obvious!

I have no idea Nigel! Hoping someone might correct this...... I thought our Aussie and Kiwi cousins will appreciate it.....

I went this morning and met up with several members of MoM. Here are some photos of various garden tractors. There was a good selection of classic cars and stationary engines too. Well worth a visit again next year.

Looking forward to seeing it all tomorrow.

Inspirational. Well done.

I got an email today from Michael. Looking forward to reading the book.

Your own version of WH Red Square

Niel, Michael sent me an email and an invoice. I am just waiting for him to confirm that the invoice is for a copy of the signed one and the other copy as well. I have looked on Amazon for several weeks to no avail so thanks for the link.

All sorted.

I will email Michael as my first port of call. Thanks Andrew

Neil, thanks for the web link. I have registered but can't seem to load my trolley. Am I missing something obvious? Andrew

Page 103 got to be good to have three copies......

Nigel, thanks. Much appreciated. Andrew

Iain, Thanks again for the contacts. My email address is amidgley66@yahoo.co.uk I am definitely interested in the air filter assembly and can wait happily until you unearth it! You got a very interesting collection and you will certainly be a very useful chap to have on this forum. Cheers Andrew

Hello Iain, Welcome to the forum and thanks for some very useful pointers on my Bolens. I have the front cover for the engine and a damaged petrol tank. What I am looking for is an air filter assembly if you have one spare? I am also on the lookout for a mower deck as well? I am sure I will come across a few more issues. Cheers Andrew

I got a seat but it's knackered and will need replacing at some point. I was on EBay USA last night and even my model is a bit of a rarity over there so may now consider doing a sympathetic restoration once it's up and running. I have ordered a few bits and bobs so far. I am now on my first day of my holiday (hurrah!) and just been told our electricity bill for the last quarter is just under £1400....... Fortunately our supplier will investigate this anomaly and told us to enjoy our holiday! I told my wife that this is a case in point about not running an electric car due to these expensive problems; far better to run a thirst guzzling V8 engine......

The butterfly nut on the rear wheel is supposedly a diff lock! Apparently the operator just reaches over and switches the knob from the comfort of his seat. in my case, it will need freeing up with heat and liberal spraying of WD40!

Richard, no worries. Cheers

Thanks for sorting out the photos.

In between jobs today I had an opportunity to pressure wash the tractor and to give it a wax wash as well. are some photos of it after it has been washed. I will this evening give the tinware a wipe over withan oily rag. Not sure why the photos are upside down?! they not

As I fear (and as everyone knows on the forum) this is highly contagious and I feel the urge to buy another one.....
