The qt17 is on the keeper list its too usefull

another pic of the dash if that helps

its starting to sound like a mongrel i was hoping to dig it out this weekend (its buried behind the 1886 a parker leaf collecter and 6 pushbikes ) but ive just bought another Bolens an st120 with leaf collector

Good idea about the pencil il give it a try saturday the tractor is buried in the garage il have to dig it out

thanks for the offer Chris it will be a few months before i strip it im working on my DGT1700 and H16 at the moment

hi the plate has been painted over its got the hi lo ratio box and the difflock data plate

Hi Chris i like the club idea

Hi can anyone identify this tube frame thanks nick

projects on hold till the summer are any parts interchangeable from other kohlers

its definately not moving one of the pistons, turns over freely other piston moves no compression BTW the TJD is an 18hp twin ive seen a few conversions in the states

i originaly bought it as a spare engine for the 1886 (£200)the engine was reving up and down and the brakes didnt work 5 minutes adjusting the governer and an hour on the brakes it worked a treat .I love the sound of the engine on tickover so it has been reprieved nick

cracking little jap35cc i made a gokart with an identical engine off a mower when i was kid many years ago set the pulley to rub against the wheel used feet for brakes and bump started while someone tugged the pull start must have been very amusing for onlookers regards nick

nice pic deck looks the same as mine id like to sort the engine thats in and keep it original because it doesnt look to have been messed with but second hand parts from the states are a fortune the wisconsin ive got is in realy good condition and its a better engine. and thats the dilema nick

Thanks Joe i dont mind a kohler for free if its not for sale Regards nick

Hi heres a couple of pics of my homemade grader/dozer . The 2 blades see saw on a pivot under the front wheels the front blade works a treat for spreading gravel and the middle blade levels like a charm. The middle blade is just a piece of 4x2 chanel bolted on with 2 steel straps so it can be angled if required.I used the deck lift cylinder to move it up and down . It doesnt look pretty but i had to knock it up in a hurry to move 12 tons of gravel

sorry was a ht20 with power steering just dug out pics

no it was leominster first (near hereford )then monmouth

hi i have a spares Roper RT8e if you need any bits

if its any consolation ive missed out on the same HT23 on ebay twice now first time i was out bid then a few months later the buyer put it up again i was winning the bid and then it was pulled from sale

the 1886 was up for sale on abbey mowers website i bought it via paypal but then there was some confusion as they said someone else was after it i think it was tavistock it was next door to a winch place in devon

im always on the lookout but there usually in Norfolk or devon id love a backhoe and loader for the 1886 ive even thought about making one

the ST1600 is my first bolens i use that for pulling a big 4 wheel trailer round the garden as its realy manouverable the h16 i use for the rotavator the qt17 i use for a homemade grader/plough i made to level my drive the dgt 1700 runs but its stripped at the moment as it has a few things that need sorting (ive got a rotavator for it and a deck but ive not tried them yet) i always wanted a diesel the 1886 doesnt run the g8/10 doesnt run bottom line there my toys i started colecting them last year first was the st1600 £153 of ebay i liked it so much i caught the bug
