Time for an update!!
(I hope this isn't considered butchery by the puerists!!)
Well, I started to look into fitting a new engine a few weeks back and this is how it is looking so far!

I have extended the chassis and built a frame on the back to fit the bench seat for two people to potter round the rally field and also replaced the foot speed control with a hand operated quadrant assembly.
I have machiened a boss to take a triumph herald UJ flange (and yolk) which I am using to repair the existing propshaft.
I have made a dog drive for the starting handle (also homemade) so it disengages the handle when the engine starts (as opposed to the original which was on a key) and extended the handle shaft out the front of the tractor.



I'm now going to start looking at the steering which will have to go down the side as there is no room with the new engine! I will post some more pictures up as progress continues!!
Also I have some bolens leftovers including the old rear wheel arch/bodywork, bonnet (both in bad condition), some steering components and front PTO parts if these are worth anything to anybody as I don't partucually want to scrap them! Just let me know.

Hi all
Just got this engine, it was advertised as a petter pa2 but I'm not sure that it is?
The cowel is squarer and it runs on petrol/tvo with a vaporising manifold??
Would be grateful for any info
Luke

Welcome!
 
I have 3 of these tractors
 
You think thats bad, take a look at the last one I brought

Hi all.
 Well im fed up with having to put plant trailers and horse boxes on back of my tractor for the road runs for people to ride on, so ive decided to do up my old Fergie trailer with Bench seats and a Ladder ( for the older Generation) to get on the trailer. Also in the design I want the Bench seats to be removeable so I can get the Wheel Horses ( ) on to take too shows. I will be starting this soon so get ready for the photos and updates.
