Chris 642 #1 Posted June 22, 2014 I have been after a set of Ransomes Junior Gangs for a while now. Looking on that auction site, I found these not far from me Put a bid on & won thinking they were going to go for more than what I wanted to pay. Picked them up last night, ajusted the cylinders etc & delivered them to our field ready for use As the bolens 1886 is sick, I am going to get the HT20 out this week & sort & give it some work I am please with the condition of the gangs so should last a few more years 1 Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #2 Posted June 22, 2014 That's a nice set of mowers Chris they normally make silly money on that auction website, sounds like these ones didn't then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diggerjames 543 #3 Posted June 22, 2014 Look nice them like paul says they usually make daft money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 642 #4 Posted June 22, 2014 Yes seen sets fetch silly money. This set was relisted due to a time waster who never picked them up. He was way up north & made no contact! I got them for £200 less than the 1st time they were sold I was happy with what I payed & got some spares also Cant wait to try them out. Previous owner used them to cut an air strip & towed them with his car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris 642 #11 Posted June 28, 2014 Here you go then. Had a play today with them. Had to re ajust the cylinders. I will sharpen them up at some stage. They are ok if you use them often before the grass gets too long or they clog up Once I got the tractor going it ran ok for the job. Just as I took these pics it chucked it down!! 2 pmackellow and ranger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
