Winter project non Brit car

[PAUL161]

The Yellow 154 is what I use to trim around fences in the fields is getting tired and needs new seals, the red one a 184 later model with more electronics I found in Arkansas Ozarks for practically nothing. Needs total teardown and restoring. It sat for 7 years in a field after the owner got dementia and forgot about it. Good winter project. I know, I should be restoring another Brit car, but this thing I can use around the place and it's not going to be a show piece. (I don't think).

To look like this,

They'll do work for you, so they're all showpieces regardless of appearance!

(How'd you shrink that 184?)

The picture just came out that way Tom. Funny that picture makes it look much smaller than it really is. It weighs about 1500 LBS with the mower attached. It'll run all day on 13 gallons of gas. Typical tractor, you have to pull all the sheet metal off and split the tractor to get at the seals that need replacing. Keeps me out of trouble though.

Nice pair of Binders Paul. Looks like you'll have plenty of work this winter.

Here's how I found it 7 years after parked. He lost the carburetor and couldn't find it, it was under the seat! Good example how dementia works, you loose things and have no idea where to look and your understanding of how things work becomes very cloudy. Shame for him and his family who has to care for him.
