Hi Guy's
Yep certainly starting to think that to after the wife said to me yesterday, "and you're doing all this for a gardening tool ?"
Starting to check my sanity.
But in saying all that, the reason why I decided to do this to the worse looking POS in the boneyard was to show others that you don't have pay the extortion figure of $700 to find a really good one as a base for ending up with a superb one.
No one now would paid any more than $100 for it in the state that it was when I picked it up, mind you I paid around $10 for it if my memory serves me correctly around 5 years ago and even then I thought I paid too much for it. Who would've known that it would've gotten a second life when it was then destined for the scrap heap.
Would love to find it's original owner if they were still alive, but again if I recall correctly I picked this one up out at Tanunda in the Barossa Valley as part of a bigger lot of items back then. Not sure if it was this one or the one sitting next to it in the boneyard, but after having around 40 of these things over the past 10 years makes it a tad hard to remember each and every single one of them and their detailed history.
There are even a few twin railers out there that were only bought for their parts content and the chassis were destined to go to meet their maker, but now you just wouldn't even entertain that thought.
Oh well, how times have changed
I'm still waiting for this oversized / rated bubble to burst when I'll be reverted back to being a dinosaur with one of those old roller thingy mowers that Grand dad used to have.
For now I can't do much more as I'm awaiting to get hold of a couple of half link extenders for the two chains, Primary and Intermediate chains and as such I'll go and play with a Honda powered Victa that I bought on Friday which is in pretty good nick but has the blasted choke not functioning as they usually do on a GCV-160.
Cheers for now,
BB.
