Nice one Holly, hope everything goes well and lets see some pictures before you start. Any idea what colour it's going to be?

Stu.

Holly paint it Green with Red spots doted around, then there's no mistakes how's it is.
Just a thought
Chris

or pink with yellow spots :farao: :farao: :farao:

what is it with u and the colour pink

Well I think Adam should get his wallet out and get you a proper engine, What do the rest of the forum think I think you deserve something better.

Stu

Nothing wrong with a nice old suffolk engine :P

My second engine was a suffolk colt that I found in a hedge, siezed solid and full of water...
Still attached to what was left of the mower....

I was 6 I think
Took me a couple of days of fiddling and it ran nicely

I think its a good starting point for an engine...
Basic, easy to move and work on....
And then once you know what the bits do, its easier to work on a bigger engine

Who side are you on were trying to get Adam to spend some of his money.

Just joking it was a Suffolk colt that started me collecting engines and I still have it tucked in the back of the shed.

Stu.

Hi

I started today by taking the cowling off and putting wire wool over it and the petrol tank.

All i have to do now is paint that and clean up the engine and give that a coat of paint and we should be up and running.

Adam should still spend out and get another engine for Holly :P

You can never have too many engines :P

I haven't got my old Suffolk colt anymore
It got thrown out by my gran (it lived in her shed :P)

Oh well....I'm thinking about collecting old lawnmowers as well as the stationery engines
Already got a 1953 Atco 14" cut with a 73cc Villiers engine...whats nice is that its a kickstart mower :P

Any old mowers that people don't want anymore? :P

Yeah I've got an Allen scythe thats got to go as it's taking up to much room in the shed. Bit of a trip to collect it

Stu.

i like that one, i only liked pink since i seen joneseys wolseley gives a whole new meaning to the colour pink

Hi all!!

It was a suffolk punch that started me off in to this expensive game lol

I know a chap that has a 2HP Petter A1 so me and holly will have a look at it when he is ready

I think its good to have a FLOURESCENT BRIGHT PINK looking Petter M Ryan

Ryan you sure are getting a thing about pink

Stu.

Cant wait to see his lorry paint pink :P

I think Ryan's lorry would be very fetching in pink!!

Well after two days sitting in the sun i have managed to strip the paint off.




Not the best but it is my first time!! Adam has a wizzy bit of kit that will hopefully help me get the rest off.

Now to look at paint!

Holly

the more of the old stuff you get off the better the finish, your doing well :smokin:

You missed a bit

Stu

I'm concerned about this "wizzy bit of kit" :P

You are one hell of a stripper holly thats the way to do it all the way
Chris

did this ever get finished
