Love the originality of that Bolens 

Happy Birthday Chris 

It's rear discharge though, but a really nice deck and only about 6 years old

Great pics Paul, looks like a good variety of exhibits  

Great pictures Paul

I love that Panzer and the patina is just right.  Will you leave it as it is or restore it? Having bought my Bolens 600 from Ohio there is something special about getting a genuine Yank GT from over the Pond. 

Leave it is as I prefer them like that

Thats very nice Harry

 

Do you subscribe to Lawn and Garden Tractor magazine from the USA ?

 

LAGT has had some Panzer articles in the magazine in recent times, and I'm sure they would be very interested to see that one has made it "across the pond"

I will look into subscribing

Pm sent

Great photos Paul 

I have wanted one of these tractors ever since I saw a picture of one online, so finally I have one

I managed to find a person who imported tractors for a living, about a year ago I asked him if he could find me a panzer. A couple of months ago he did and a deal was done, it took five weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the tractor originally being sold in Illinois.

On Saturday me and Dad drove up to shropshire to collect it from his Farm. I must say I am very pleased with it. Here are some pictures.

As you can see it has had some painted applied in an odd fashion, and I knew the original paint was underneath. So a few hours of light sanding etc  I managed to get the end result with a light coat of oil to make it shine.

I personally have never seen one of this side of the pond for sale and I don’t think they were ever sold over here but not entirely sure.

Looks in very good condition Chris, just need to get it out the van now 

Happy Birthday Ian 🎉

Good photos thank you. Did you see what the Ransomes/Whitlock dumper sold for ?

The Whitlock was on show, even though it still had its lot number on

Great photos young Harry.   But what that MF went for is mind boggling.   Did you buy it?

I was thinking of buying it but no way at that price, plus I already have one similar.

We went today to the show, a long day leaving at 5am and getting in at 8:30pm but well worth it. Good weather although bitterly cold. A good turnout and much more people than last year.

These were a few of the things in the auction, lots of ransomes crawlers, the restored ones made strong money at £1900 a piece.

the Massey Ferguson mf7 made a jaw dropping £2700!

These are some pictures from the show itself.

Thanks, I do have that diagram but i think i am missing parts 12 and 17.

I have just purchased another Gutbrod 1032 from a chap who’s friend owned it that has sadly past away. Unfortunately the front pto is in bits. It is the manual type and not the electric. I have the bits for it although I am not sure if all the bits are there to reassemble it. Can anyone help me with some pictures of theirs showing it complete?

Thanks in advance

Harry

Looks spot on Nigel👍

That looks to be in pretty good condition considering it has been outside for a long time. Have sent you a pm regarding literature.

HE WILL WANT IT

Bit far away for me I think

Welcome to MOM. I have both the colt and the colt deluxe. Finding the gears sometimes is a bit all over the place and there is Hi and low range for the colt deluxe version. 

I myself don’t have any spare parts for them unfortunately however I do have manuals and the original factory parts diagrams should you need any information.

Nice find and looks to be in original condition. I have a brott 20, brilliant fun to ride and does a surprisingly good job of mowing. 

Looks very good Chris, just right on the patina

Happy birthday Doug 🎉🎉
