Stormin 4,458 #26 Posted January 22, 2016 I think he's going into competition with The Showman. How much you can get into a confined space. 2 pmackellow and Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #27 Posted January 22, 2016 Paul, your shed / s must be like the Tardis. I seem to remember when you bought John's Cub a few months ago, you said you might JUST have room for it. How many since then and how many more can you squeeze in. ? Ah that was before we moved to a bigger storage unit Alan To be fair I am getting rid of my two Nash Boadicea mowers as part of the deal so I am making a bit of space... to fill it again I think he's going into competition with The Showman. How much you can get into a confined space. No contest Norm Chris is much better at space filling than I am 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmackellow 2,738 #38 Posted January 30, 2016 Ben said it was ok last time he tried it, the starter pull is a bit dodgy but I have got another one Too cold today to do much other than park it on the shelf in the shed and give it a quick clean up,will have a good look at it over the next week Its less than 4 feet long (just), so about the same as a Mowett Mustang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wristpin 400 #41 Posted January 30, 2016 When I first got involved with the mower business in the late 70s we had a machine in for service for which the only source of parts was John Harston . It wasn't a Pacemaker but at the moment the old brain isn't coming up with the name. In a previous life the Pacmaker name was on a three engined twin bowl motor scraper ! 2 Triumph66 and pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nigel 1,877 #43 Posted January 30, 2016 I spoke to a bloke that used to work for them at the time in the early 70s and the information he gave me was they imported a few pacemakers in from Italy but had lots of complaints that they didn't cut grass very well so they sent most of them back, the few that remained rotted the decks out and were scrapped this one is thought to be the only one left, when I got it I had to rebuild the deck 2 pmackellow and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
