Looks good, there does seem to be quite a few collectors in the area.

Looks nice

I have got a high pressure steam gun, its not a pressure washer with water, only uses steam. Its brilliant at getting grease off and also takes paint off!

Looks good and strong

I saw that on ebay as well, i also thought it was a cub cadet.

Ok thanks, i will have a look tomorrow

I dont think the charging circuit has a fault because he said when using it it just stopped, and then took it apart and did not mention anything about the charging system. He did make a battery tray to fit on the back but i will return the battery to its original position, where should the horn be. I will also probaly give it a re-wire as everything is all over the place. Harry

Does anybody know where I might be able to source the lift linkage for it.

I think Chris may of already bought the Bolens off me!

So here is my new addition to the fleet, a gutbrod 1030 with deck. The guy that I bought it off new nothing about it and just fancied buying something to fix. I also bought a Bolens husky 800 off him and a Brinly plow. Overall the tractor is in good original condition about from the paint, it has been painted in the past. It was not working when I bought it as he said it had an electrical fault. However I tested it this morning by putting back together what he had taken apart, fresh fuel and a battery and away it went. It goes through all the gears and mows well. This is my first gutbrod and I am really starting to like them, it is surprisingly fast as well. I just wanted your opinion on what I should do, keep it as is or restore it, bearing in mind there are not many restored ones out there. Here are a few pictures...

Hi Adrian, I know you also sell spare parts for the tractors and also do a lot of importing, however I did buy a d200 wheel hub off you, however it still has not turned up. Just wondered if you had any news on it, I did request for a refund on PayPal. Harry

I managed to get it running now, new plugs, cleaned points, new fuel line and that was it. Everything works as it should, even the lights and hydraulic deck lift.

I would love on of those tillers

With the arrival of some new tractors I am going to sell the wheelhorse 800. I did not manage to get it running. PM me if interested. Harry

Hi Chris, I am pretty sure the cylindrical mufflers are the original ones and drop down behind the grill Like this i think

I will upload pics, I now have two sweepers

it looks a very strong tractor. what are your plans with it?

It is not quite in showroom condition, some paint missing at the back near the fuel tank, though it does come with chrome hub caps

I picked a wheelhorse 417-A up today from brighton general auctions. it comes with deck and also came with a sweeper. It has been stood in a garage for the last 20 years!! Only done 188hrs. quite a tidy machine, haven't had time yet to overhaul and try to start it

I have not not the original footrests

I do know the enthusiast added the foot rests, i know nothing about the grill either.

is that good or bad news

thanks for the info, in there at the moment is a kohler engine. however before the restoration there was a lombardini engine in there, i will try and get a better image of the numbers I have made an interesting discovery, the Mf8 on the tag looks to of been changed, not sure if it is MF8 or MF& the serial number reads 1590012581

Of course
