Here are some more photos of the 800 which I unloaded this morning. Absolutely thrilled with it. I will fire her up at a later time.

Triumph66 got a reaction from HeadExam in Bolens 800
I collected the Bolens this afternoon. Here's a photo, albeit a poor one, of the tractor on the back of my pickup. I will take some photos when I unload it in the next few days.

Triumph66 reacted to Ian in The Workshop moving Thread
Morning all, as you know yesterday was shack contents moving day, and what a long day it was!!
I didn't take too many photo's as we were a bit busy, but here's a few..
My "extended bed" Saxon trailer with the first load..
The trailer being loaded up with a heavier load..
The shack looking a bit emptier..
The moving crew.. well, most of them.. Pete, Rob and Chris.. The other helper known as Mr Pickles did a runner as soon as the camera came out
I will get some photo's of the empty shack, but here's a couple of the slightly full new workshop.. I've got a bit of sorting out to do me thinks
So, a big THANK YOU to Chris, Pete, Rob and Mr Pickles for all your help yesterday, I couldn't of done it without your help

Triumph66 got a reaction from slf-uk in Haban Sickle Mower
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.

That looks fantastic Nigel, thanks mate
No worries Craig, it would be a bit of a journey for you to get here
Me too
Thanks Richard, yes I am very lucky having a good friend/neighbour called Nigel.. I wouldn't be able to do this shack move without Nigel's fantastic help, so thanks mate, your a star
The deal is Nigel has rented the new place and I'm renting half of it from Nigel.
It says.. The Shack Revisited
The bars on the windows I can cope with, not so sure on the seasonal lights though
A couple of photo's from yesterday.. The big bench is down..
Which means Project "Why Not" is a roller

Triumph66 reacted to Stormin in A pleasurable couple ofdays.
Got the Disco back today. All sorted and free of charge. How many garages would do that after you've had the vehicle nearly six months?

Triumph66 reacted to Tom in More barford atom pics
Hi all,
I got one of the atoms out for a play and hooked up the plough
It actually performs really well and has lots of adjustment so you can get the best finish, I'm still learning about the art of ploughing but im getting there.
I also picked up a front weight bracket and two front weights as well as a set of spade lugs which I am very happy about.
Little and large!
Tom

Triumph66 reacted to Wristpin in Can't resist. Ransomes!
Need to move on another to create some space ! Found a home for a relatively young Honda engined Marquis a week ago so there are still a few people out there who appreciate a quality cylinder mower. When we started the business in '81 we would buy in lots of ex local authority Ransomes and Atcos of all sizes throughout the year and then overhaul and prep for sale during the winter; not unusual to start the season with a couple of dozen in stock. Now in retirement it's just a hobby; no customer hassle, wage bill, business rates etc and as much time as is needed to do things properly.

Triumph66 reacted to Ian in The Workshop moving Thread
Thanks James, it's looking like everything is coming together quite well
Yes it could well in interesting to see what comes out of both workshops
Well, a bit of a sad day in more ways than one...
Down came all the decorations that shacks collect over the years.. It feels strange in there without this lot fixed on the walls.. They all hold good memories for me and will be going up in the new workshop along with some bigger stuff that I will once again have wall space for
And of course....
More stuff boxed up ready to go, even more "shack boxes" stashed in the house!
Even under the big bench has been mostly cleared out and boxed up!
Now you may of noticed in the above photo's a big red something is missing..
Yes the 6x6 went off to it's new home today, here it is all loaded up with it's new owner Mark...
I am of course very sad to see it go, but I am happy that it has gone to such a good home.. To say that Mark is over the moon about is an understatement to say the least.. Yes he has been told about MOM and RS and promises to keep me updated on how he is getting on with it

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.
