Well the roof was dented in but once I got into the almost perfect interior I was able to pop it out again!
Pictures of the rescue follow.
The pile of treasure and trash I had to remove.

Anyone remember green shield stamps?
 

I have a job on my hands, this 50's classic needs saving, tomorrow I will be trying to free it from its tomb of 40 odd years, I will keep you informed of progress if there is any interest.

Visiting a customer at work today and got chatting about different things like you do and we got talking about old garden tractors and stuff at which point he say "come with me young man I've got some thing that you might be interested in taking on" so off we pop to and old barn and he shows me this a converted (I think) bmb plowmate says he got it from a big old house years ago in a dispersal sale. He said I could take it on on one condition I didn't weigh it in as he wants to downsize his farm. Few more pics

Yes indeed, they still have them in stock so that is one part off the list, thanks S1g
 
I got this to cut the glades on my nature reserve so not sure about anything other than maybe a saw bench....keep me in mind though
 
The carb is back on, no flooding so thats sorted with a bit of luck. Clutch cable was a bit mangled at the top end so I have cleaned it up with some shrink sleeving and a clamp to hold it out of harms way.
Although I can start it with the handle I am going to get a pull cord,as I think the action is easier.
 
Oh and
It is a 12 /2HS

Tidy machine.
 
I am not far from you
 
Mate of mine is going to have a clear out of spare attachments soon so if your interested then let me know

Not sure of the differences between a B10/1 and B10/2 but this parts diagram of a 1 may help. What model Villiers engine is it - some had Amal carbs

Try meetens for the red filters, they had some last time I asked, also they still had some of the oil bath type but the base of the carb and clips is different to the red type, so you would need to obtain these as well to convert. The b10/2 could also be had with the oil bath filter. The b 10/1 and b 10/2 are all but identical. The b 10 had a ball float instead of the black plunger type, but otherwise was the same as the other 2.

Here you go, my starting point, carb off tomorrow to get it cleaned up.

I have just got myself a Mayfield with scythe attachment and a tow along seat....( I nearly posted this in the ride on section )
It is a runner but needs a throttle cable and an air filter for the bottom of the carb. which I believe is a B10/2..has.anyone got a parts drawing for same?
Other than that it looks pretty tidy and complete, I will put some pictures up when the rain stops and I can uncover it.

This was one of those things, i saw a picture on the internet and had to have a go.
The first picture was my first mod, front wheels the same size as the back ones.
The rest are the finished Jeep.
If you want to see more info on this I did a blog on instructables

Wow, that is one large collection, any idea how many of them would run if you gave them 12v and some juice?
