pmackellow 2,738 #1 Posted March 23, 2014 Following a post on this very forum from fordsonmajortom yesterday, I added this little machine to our collection today Its a Nash Boadicea mower with a 34cc JAP two stroke engine, its looking a bit sad but with some tlc I think we can do something with it, together with Steve Ds machine it will make a nice display pair Thanks again Michael (fordsonmajortom) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
