Triumph66

Yes I am really pleased with it. I moved it into my garage this morning ( it weighs a tonne!). I read the instructions manual last night for bedtime reading! It going to be interesting to get it hitch up. It's going to go on the 1254 I got earlier this year but I need to get that going again with some help from a mate of mine ((Robins). It's a beast of a machine and already I have a healthy respect for it when I read that the blades can take your fingers off even when it's not on as the movement will jolt it....

Here are several shots of the sickle mower that arrived this afternoon. It wa very well secured and well packaged. I took them in the dark so will get better ones in due course. It one of those things you have to buy quickly as these don't come up that often and I am pleased I didn't have to go through the uncertainty of eBay. Tomorrow I am collecting the 800 at long last.

How far is the new shack from Hawkhurst?

Any luck in selling it over the weekend? Just interested.

Good to see all those attachments.

I just bought an aircraft hanger to store my collection........

I am sorry for the appalling grammar; it's my Apple IPad autocue. I must sort that out.

I promised there will be photos of the following: Bolens 800 tractor to be collected by moi on Wednesday from Crewkerne viva the Borders country Haben sickle bar cutter to be delivered by end of next week Howard's Bolens cylinder mower to delivered next week from Gwynedd, Wales It's like waiting for a bus for ages and all three arrives in the space of a few days! I ain't buying anything else for the time being until the missus calms down....... In the end I paid for a pallet company to collect the cutter bar from Yorkshire and it's beast to packaged up as well the sellers/ was really helpful in sorting out all the details to arrange for it to be pelleted down to Devon.

I have just bought a Haban sickle mower for my Bolens tractor; it looks in really good condition and is complete including the original instruction leaflet. All being well it should be delivered here by the end of next week. I will post photos of it when it's here.

I think Norman's got a valid point there. It would be very useful for all of us in our quest to source parts etc..

Mark, I have measured the Husky label it's approximately 5" x 3 1/4" ( inches)

Ian, I will watch for updates accordingly and try and plan my work around. Be good if you move in time for Christmas. Cheers.

Ian, I am coming back to Robertsbridge in November to do a job; what's your timescale to relocate? I am back possibly from mid November for a few days. If I am around I will be happy to help out.

I have checked in to my local Rehab for help.........

Iain, this would be the perfect excuse to buy another Bolens just so that everything's is correct age wise......

Mark, I will take some photos of the decals tomorrow and post them up.

Iain, many thanks yet again for your sterling service. BTW Point 4 is what really matters!

I gave the plough a good pressure washed this afternoon to remove any grime etc. I also applied some WD40 on the moving parts. I am going to buy a Bolens snow plough manual so I know how to attach it properly. Also I need to fabricate a rod which hopefully Iain will give me some measurements to work off.

That's good as I have one here. Is it a tight fit?

What size is your smaller trailer Paul? Cheers

On the hunt for another Bolens.........

Cheers chaps. I thought the plough gave my van a meaner street cred look,,,,,,,, Daniel, the long awaited arrival of the Bolens 800 will now be here NEXT week............

Here's a photo of my snow plough which arrived today. All I need is snow.......

A lovely find and at a bargain price too boot too.

That, Sir, is one damn good looking machine.
