what a nice reminder of old times clive,sounds like you struck a friendship with the guy and he left you his mower which you are now the proud owner ,and well deserved I am sure.

Thanks Charlie, it was the photo you put on the old forum that convinced me to bid for this ATCO, it certainly looks the part on it…

I’m in Devon near a small market town of Hatherleigh, Okehampton is about 7 miles away. What part are you Nigel.

[vhgmcbuddy]

The way you’ve got is how mine is.

in reply to my queery about props, yes they did and the number of the boat U……. was stamped on it,so that’s how you would ID it if you where a diver for a salvage company,providing it was still fitted.

[vhgmcbuddy]

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks Nigel, not quite up to show horse standard but smart enough for a work horse.

cheers paul,have been in and out of the shed so much lately with this grass box that between the path and the shed there is a sheep track developing !! Must have a word with the farmer

[vhgmcbuddy]

Its getting there John, top job mate as usual !

[vhgmcbuddy]

Now this coat of paint is dry have had another look in daylight and there was a couple ,quite noticeable when the sun shone so back into the shed for some more plastic padding. I have come to the conclusion that it will never be the new box it once was but I think after the third remake I will have to accept it for what it is. Now must have a word with Titch about decals but will wait until after New Year.
