This little beauty ;) was left in the back of the hay shed when we bought our smallholding. I'm told that the previous owners used to use it as a miniature tractor, and towed around a small trailer behind it. As such, I know it has run within the last couple of years, but I'm afraid when I tried to jump start it from my car, all I succeeded in doing was flattening the battery!

Anyhow, I'm offering it up here in the hope that somebody can make use of it. One thing to note - I don't think it has any of the actual mower bits still left, so that might well turn out to be important if you wanted it as, well, a mower!? :)

It does have an 11 hp Briggs & Stratton engine though, so if that could be gotten going, it would be useful for all sorts of projects.

Anyhow, for sale here to the first person who can make me a reasonable offer in excess of the scrap value. Collection please from Stirlingshire, or I can deliver if you pay the petrol. Inspection is welcome - just don't be tempted to kick the tyres, as they're all flat ;D
Cheers!
Womble.

Great ad, Womble. I used to keep my Morris Minor (moggie) (split-screen, flip-up trafficators) running 30-odd years ago (always carry an old Coke tin, a bit of string, and make sure someone has a full bladder...) but I think my grease-monkey days are behind me now...
-
How much is the scrap value, could be a good source of spares!

Try Gumtree. I sold my old ride on there for £400 - it WAS in working condittion, just not picking up very well.
-
I would be intrested in it have you an idea of what you are looking for it ? whay about £40 ?
-
LOL Sally, and there was me thinking I might have oversold it! ;D
Croftgary - you replied and PM'ed me first, so you have first dibs - check your messages.
Dundonald Hens - Can I give you second refusal if Croftgary isn't interested?
Cheers!
David.
P.S. I did ask our new cockerel, Foghorn Legover to have a look at it. However, he refused, since he still has engine oil all over his comb after getting jiggy with his favourite hen under the sump of my car this morning!! ;D

That's my boy! ;D

Indeed he is DC! All three of yours have settled in brilliantly. Ginger the rhoadie hen is a real character, and the acrobatics performed by Mr Legover in pursuit of luurve have to be seen to be believed (very sorry about the name - it kinda metamorphosised and then stuck!).
I'm guessing that they never used to have access to a pond though? It's just that the first day after we let them out, Roger the Rhoadie tried to walk across ours...... and failed! ;D

Small duck pond, basins of water. Stupid boys! Glad all's well in the land of the Womble! Loving the names. ;)
