Still interested to know what it maybe worth

if threres no spark its most likely just gonna be a case of cleaning and re-gapping the points, check the plug is functioning of course, if that fails, move on to checking coil and condenser, its also really easy to convert a briggs to electronic ignition if you want to go down that route.

 I pressume all this is behind flywheel ? 

Havent really looked.yet... bet easy enough to check? What's the best way to do it 

What woukd it's value be aswell? As a running driving tractor. 

Just out off curiosity as no plans to sell

Very nice shepherds hut.

 The hut and the log splitter he made himself put off old odds and sods. Very talented man.

Bodywork should be white with red wheels. Mid 1960s approximately.

 

Are you interested in the Bolens tyres? They are in Sturminster Newton, Dorset. I have bumped up the post in the For Sale section here.

Yes interested in the tyres. Will message you. 

I quite like the way this has been done... the paintwork is generally very good. Has been well stored for 15 years and I think it looks 'just right' 

Few question.... 

where would I find engine number and chassis number? 

Also there is no spark? Where should my first port off call be to look for 

Thanks all 

How much we looking in total? 

Bit late and the write up was a bit much for me to process... 

That will probably wait til tomorrow... 

chuffed as nuts though! 

What sort off age we thinking it may be? 

Also pressume the green isn't standard?  

Woukd be interested in some pics.he has just emailed me. 

Update. .. here now and the old boy got all sorts 

I shall get some more pics uploaded tonight. 

Just need some rear tyres apparently so will try and hunt some down before next weekend although there are some wheel horse ones local to me 

Said bolens in the add... but the chap wasn't sure on year or model. 

Iv narrowed it down to a bolens husky? But nothing further than that... and I don't think any off them came with briggs and stratton 

Going to collect this Tonight. 

Unsure what model it is. 

Apparently has a briggs and stratton engine 

Something for little man to grow into... 

Any info on one off these?  And will wheel horse rear wheels fit? 

Slapped on some paint today... 

couple more coats then start rebuilding again 

Spent too long listening to the wife... silly me! 

Removed off eBay today... sold I guess? 

Didn't even get a chance to view! Bugger 

Awesome! Look forward to seeing this running and driving 

Think this was down my way on Gumtree?  Maybe ebay? 

Looks cool 

Think I'm going to pop and have a look. 

If I did go for it would probably leave it as is and road register it. 

Call it more off an investment.. 

This has popped up on ebay 5 minutes from me... 

need a puncture sorting and paint if fussy apparently. 

Gearing has been uprated to keep up with a road run if required although not road registered... 

8hp kohler

If I go and look... what should I be looking to pay? Also just by the photos could anyone tell what year it may be roughly? 

That is a shame! Looks a lovely little machine aswell 

Ahwell.... we tried! 

Win some loose some.... onto the next! 

No way! 

Bloody madness 

Must be something in the air! 

Seems a shame... the bloke/boy who I have been speakin to... it's his dad's number thay he gave me 

Hopefully someone gets it

That is a cool stash off toys! 

I'm gutted as it's so cool! Just to far for me to travel when the wife is about to drop. 

Think triumph is gunna persue it 

This old girl has popped up on a farming forumn... 

I love it! But unfortunately it's just a bit far for me to travel at the moment! 

I haven't got a price yet, but thought I would share the photos and see if anyone more local was interested.  

Apparently needs attention to the carb and also runs on leaded fuel! 

What would it be worth? 

Sold today. 

Going to sit in a barn for a little while. The 8hp is going to be the chaps grandchildrens for a toy and 11hp going for racing. 

Guess it's the way it goes, he paid the money so he can do as he wishes 

Good day all in all
