Lovely looking pair there! Must get on my horse and get one quickly!

Great to see a working example. I love the rat look myself. Hope to get a Bolens and a Work Horse for company.

Love the patina of that Bolens; not too dissimilar to the one I am interested in. Andrew

Are most of them petrol? There's one with a diesel one on the bay at the moment. Is the 1254 diesel or petrol? Cheers

Thanks chaps. The one I am interested in is a Bolens Husky 1254 model. I think it's a 1971 model. What do you know about these? Cheers

Evening all, just a question about Bolens Husky tractors. How good are these and how easy is it to get parts from the UK? Are they in the same stable as the Work Horse? Just curious. does anyone here have one? Andrew

Very kind offer of a cup of tea and a chance to meet the Southern members as well. more than likely be there on the Saturday.

Thanks Andrew

Great, I will make the effort to go on the Saturday. Will there be many Wheel Horses and Bolens on show? I will be a visitor though. Andrew

When is this event taking place as I will be in Sussex (Robertsbridge) in mid August (15/8 to 24/8) for my holiday. It would be good to introduce myself and more importantly have a look at what there is. Cheers Andrew

I looked at the photos! What a great line up. Whetted my appetite to go to a meet next season, especially if I get my own Work Horse. Might even drive it from Devon......

Thanks. Meeting at Ardingly would suit me fine as I have family in Sussex.

Mark,

That sounds like a plan. Just out of interest, how many attend these get togethers?

Andrew

I have PM the SHowman. Thanks Andrew

I have heard of this fellow before and I await humbly for home to contact me.

I have used many Little Wonder Hedge Cutters during my time as a National Trust gardener and can vouch for the quality of this. They were light weight and wasn't too noisy to use either. In my ignorance I thought they were aBritish product as the label said Tavistock, Devon but they are American.

I am on the lookout for a useable Wheel Horse, preferably 1960s vintage for tinkering and using. Would be good to have a mower but not essential. Can anyone help? Thanks Andrew

I would be interested in going to a Wheel Horse meet especially if it's in the South West. Where was it up North and where is it held in the South? Andrew
