Popular Post CarolsHusband Posted March 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2023 My Dad bought this 1979 Wheelhorse in 1986. He used it to cut a couple of acres around the house while he was able & then I took over mowing duties until about 2018 when it finally became a burden & he bought a new one. I brought it home last year, having been sat in the chicken shed at his for 3 years and being " proper fucked". /pic. The paint job was just to make it a little less attractive to thieves ( it got nicked once but after painting it stayed put). I got a new bottom end & block for it in about '97 when the rod had an episode & I also bought a new deck in 2001. It still ran, kinda... http://i.imgur.com/Lg42X6w.mp4 Anyway, I decided to get it up & running as the grass ain't gonna cut itself. Wheels blasted & coated Shiny Got a load of panels blasted & primed Got the deck done too. Came back as Swiss Cheese. I paid £ 300 for that as a painted bare shell in 2001, priced a new one now and it's £ 1500. Wat. The jury is out. Forgot to take the engine cover to the blasters. Derr. Had to prep it myself. / good enough for a country job. Anyway, tyres on the way, paint ordered & I've been down the back of the sofa for some deck money. 1,500 quid. You could buy a car for that.... 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
