nigel 1,876 #57 Posted November 4, 2015 some times i hate old machines i put the deck on andrews machine today only to find the front wheels kept hitting it , did all the adjustment bit, still did it, then i relised the front axle was moving back and fowards,it seems the holes in the bracket that hold the axle were a third bigger than they should be, so ive had to take it off and will have to lathe some top hats up tomorrow to take the play out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #58 Posted November 4, 2015 That's a bit of a bugger Nigel. I have never heard the phrase top hats before in relation to engineering/ mechanical parlance. Still, the Bolens look awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #59 Posted November 4, 2015 Top hats = bushes shaped like top hats, Andrew. Just a small point on something I've noticed. The exhaust/silencer could do with some bbq paint. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 642 #60 Posted November 4, 2015 I see you have carefully selected the best place to jack it up. The oil drain Looks a bit different to when I saw it last week. Oh I did not tell you Andrew 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #62 Posted November 4, 2015 Suppose so, Nigel. Then he can say, "I did that". 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #63 Posted November 5, 2015 Suppose so, Nigel. Then he can say, "I did that". Absolutely! That's the really skilful part of the restoration which I could not trust Nigel to do. It require a steady hand and and a good eye........ 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triumph66 1,256 #70 Posted November 7, 2015 Well I collected the Bolens late this afternoon after enduring a gruelling day drive through horrendous weather from Devon to Kent. Absolutely shattered and I have to say I am well pleased with the work on it too. I also collected the Huffy Broadlawn which I bought a while back. 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
