Triumph66 1,256 #1 Posted July 27, 2014 Is there a book or books on Garden Tractors that covers Wheel Horses, Simplicity, Bolens, Cub Cadets etc... That anyone can recommend as I want to delve into the history of these classic and iconic machines. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #2 Posted July 27, 2014 It's called garden tractors and on that well known site. I've got a copy, it's pretty good... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 524 #6 Posted July 27, 2014 The wheelhorse story is also an excellent book & we'll worth getting , also written by a good friend of mine Michael Martino . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #7 Posted July 27, 2014 I saw that in one of the forum's topics but can't find one available at the moment. This is highly addictive these garden tractors....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #8 Posted July 27, 2014 Get the garden tractors one first... I've got two copies But only one straight from the horses mouth, as Neil says that is one awesome book! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #9 Posted July 27, 2014 I am on the case now..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robins 55 #10 Posted August 1, 2014 Sounds like your getting addicted to garden tractors Andrew You'll be increasing your collection before you know it I do know of a Wheel Horse c-141 project, local that may be up for sale soon Make sure you keep the Morris though! 1 diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #11 Posted August 1, 2014 Don't worry my Morris is safe and sound. Have you seen the oldest Morris Minor van on EBay? It's a total restoration case but it's supposedly the oldest in Europe...... Though some have cast doubts on it authencity but I have always fancied a split screen LCV from the 50s. That Wheel Horse is tempting...... Once the Bolens is safely in my possession next week, I can then cast my eyes around for more............. I have ordered the book and await it arrival.

Robins 55 #12 Posted August 1, 2014 Ive just had a look on ebay at the van. Shame they lifted it on the forklift as thats probably done quite a lot of damage! Had a split screen 4 door saloon once with the trafficators, all they did was make the following traffic crease up in fits of laughter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #13 Posted August 25, 2014 My book arrived whilst I was away on holiday. A fascinating book with some very tempting models. Need to arrange an overdraft....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
