Looking for a starter solenoid for my Bolens, looks like an old land rover starter which is what I'll uae if i can't find one the same.

Has anyone got one of these in their shed or know where i can get one

That's funny, I'm sure i just read this topic.

Good to see some of your stuff working

Thanks Chris, thats handy to know. it hasn't weathered as well as the last one and needs a lot of tlc

I bought a couple of cheap tins of paint over the weekend to paint some of my attachments. the paint is Tractol synthetic enamel and wondered what thinners to use to enable me to spray it. whats your thoughts ?

Glad you got it ok

So are we !!!

No I didn't, i said I didn't know what make it is

Here's a couple of photos, not sure what its off but fully adjustable just needs a little tlc

After finding this last week and thinking that must be it now, whats the chances of finding another plough ? Well today i was almost in the same spot and the digger bucket caught something metal ( wheel weights i thought ) only another plough . as Norm was the first to ask that his name be put on the next one thats what we did, and put it on his list for the Newby delivery.

Yeah but we don't get any snow over here

Went along to this show for the day and took a couple of tractors, not been before and thought it worth the effort as there was some nice exhibits on show. heres a few photos of what got my interest.

Some nice stuff there, I like the American postal van, handy being right hand drive too

Looks like you had a good display of stuff, sorry I couldn't make it

Thanks Chris, I guessed it was but wanted to make sure

These arrived this morning in my postbox. Many Thanks to Titch for a brilliant job , i spose I'd better get my paint brush out.

Did a little more research on this and it would appear to be a 1972 10" inch plough

Anyone recognise this plough please

Its on its way Doug.

Had time to get the plough out of the van and have a better look at it. Found a id tag under a coat of paint and managed to scrape it off to reveal the maker and serial number, next was to free off the adjuster which didn't take to much. The wheel was free so i just lubricanted that, i also freed off the bolts to enable height adjustment. on the hitch end I noticed that was adjustable so freed off those bolts. The fitting plate bracket thingy is welded on at an angle so i can only assume that when ploughing with the 2 offside wheels in the furrow the plough will be upright, ( your comments please ). heres some photos

While your waiting you can make one of these.

Watch out for this arriving shortly Doug

I think we should clear the rest of the wood to see if theres any wheel weights nearby

And it fits my new hitch.
