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

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 ranger and pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
