The casing is approx 40 inches wide. Will not turn. Drive shaft keyway worn. 1 of the adjustable height skids is missing ( might be hiding somewhere ) and a few dings. Apart from that appears to be solid but in need of a re build. £80. Located near Craneigh, Surrey.
One of these with the Bolens stash. Had it running about 2 years ago, but belts slipping. Not sure what engine. Exhaust and air cleaner removed for replacement when pics taken.
Yes, Years of collecting. Friend John had big plans to bring a lot of the tractors etc back to life after he retired 10 years ago. Sadly, this did not happen due to various reasons, and is now a forgotten dream.
Apart from the Bolens, there is most of a Uni Horse, which had already been dismantled when John bought it. A Cub Cadet 81 in almost running order. 3 rough Westwoods. 2 Murray's.
Wheel Horse's C-145 and B-1136 plus 6 other Horses. Of the 6 most are only fit for spares. Hope this helps.
Sorry to keep you all waiting. The first of the stash has just been posted in the FOR SALE section. More to follow over the weekend. Thanks again to Nigel and Ian for the help and guidance in identifying a lot of the stash. As they suggested, I am listing some of the attachments first, followed by a few of the better condition tractors, although the listings could be mixed due to circumstances.
As some may already know, these items belong to an old friend who is in very poor health, and is having to dispose of his collection. He is sorry to have to part with years of collecting but needs to downsize to a much smaller property. He lives near Cranleigh, Surrey for those who will be wondering.
A lot of the collection is dry stored but some, which was stored outside under covers has suffered from the weather, the covers having rotted away over the years and with everything being covered in brambles. Still in the process of digging out which is a slow job as I can normally only get over to my friends place once a week, and he is not always in a fit state to help.
Any questions please ask. I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge.
Thanks, Nigel and Ian for all your help yesterday. Hope your trip home was OK. I hope to get some of the better tractors and attachments up for sale soon. A lot more work involved than expected when I first mentioned this stash, but getting there, SLOWLY.
There is always NZ or Australia, better weather and you don't have to try and understand Americans and their version of English
Yes, funny lot these Americans. My number 2 son married an American about 18 years ago ( ex pen pal ) and now lives in Chickamauga, Georgia. After quite a few visits
I have almost managed to understand the strange words, and even stranger habits, especially those of my sons daddy in law. He is as crazy as a coot. Luckily we are both tarred with the same brush so get along well, even though he doesn't talk properly.
under the circumstances.
Bet that was heavy.
