slf-uk 914 #26 Posted January 7, 2015 That is a very interesting list The HDT1000 would not be on that list as it wasn't produced until 1982. The HT22 was the export version of the HT20D sold here in the states. It would be interesting to see a picture of the dash of an HT22 to see if they were in multiple languages as were the ones on the HDT1000. I really do wish I had a HT22 in the workshop so that I could check. I will contact the people I know with LF's and see if anyone has a HT22. It may be possible to see from sales booklets but for a lot of the time the Bolens importer, Howard just used the US literature. I believe this changed around the 1980's and they printed UK specific stuff. I will check my limited collection of booklets. I believe others on here have a better collection so hopefully they can input. Iain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldBuzzard 186 #27 Posted January 7, 2015 I did a bit of Google searching and found this: The last time the pound was at these sorts of levels was 5 November, 1980, when it reached $2.446 That would make the HT20D $8,927.90 in 1980 USD or $25,586.56 in todays dollars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldBuzzard 186 #28 Posted January 7, 2015 Iain, would you give me permission to 'steal' that price list pic and post it over on the GTTalk forum in the US? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #29 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Iain, would you give me permission to 'steal' that price list pic and post it over on the GTTalk forum in the US? No problem, if it is of interest I do a scan of it rather than a dodgy picture taken whilst in a rush. I am a member of GTTalk, using the same ID as this forum so I look forward to seeing your posting. Iain Edited January 7, 2015 by slf-uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #30 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) OB, Iain and Chris, I had a look at my Bolens brochures collection and I have several Howard Bolens brochures showing TF and several LF namely 1477 and 1886 models from the late 60s to the 70s. I will be adding to my collection as when they come available. If I come across anything on the HT models I will let you know. Sorry I can't be of help. There's a great photo of a 1886 in action in the Howard Bolens brochure at might be of interest to Chris? Andrew Edited January 7, 2015 by Triumph66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldBuzzard 186 #34 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I like it Chris There's just something about an old tractor in it's working clothes that just 'feels' right. Nothing against Show Queens, but I like seeing them doing what they were meant to do. Edited January 8, 2015 by OldBuzzard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
