meadowfield 2,754 #1 Posted June 18, 2013 don't know if any of you saw this, or bid on it - nice mix and match GT14 only it's the stickers on the hood and engine from a GT14 attached to an early 70's Raider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,754 #3 Posted June 18, 2013 it's not a factory model.. I hope The hood decals are both from the right hand side - so have been added at some point. It's got snow plough brackets tho' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #4 Posted June 19, 2013 An interesting buy Mark.. what are your plans for it? P.S. I know of a real GT that could do with a new engine if you plan to break it up.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,754 #5 Posted June 19, 2013 I didn't buy it - I've already got some GT14 decals... your engine is fine, just needs some TLC, clean the fuel pump and carb, fresh oil and spark plug, service the starter and swap that flywheel. sorted!

wheeledhorseman 579 #6 Posted June 20, 2013 Not guilty - I didn't even consider a flutter on that one despite being fairly close to me as I'm trying to avoid typing in 'wheel horse' on the bay at present! I have just enough horses for now and resto work in stock for the next couple of years at least. Despite the wrong decals and being a non-runner I'd have thought it might have fetched a little more than that. Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farmer 1,078 #7 Posted June 20, 2013 I saw that also, thought about joining the 14 club, then I remembered my Commando is still in bits, Charger to deal with after that. Four is enough for me ....Yet I keep looking. :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Rex, if your Commando is in bits, what are your Kiddies going to ride during the Hols this Summer?. ......................................I also keep tabs on what's floating around on the market.

farmer 1,078 #13 Posted June 23, 2013 Richard, with three running machines the kids are covered, they seem to like 'no name auto 12 charger' best (hydro, loud and faster than the others). Andy, same tractor... and I haven't finished it because...I haven't started it yet. When it arrived I had a rush of blood and stripped down the Commando, exhausted from the effort I've been resting since. Soon be time for round 2. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheeledhorseman 579 #14 Posted June 23, 2013 Quite understand Rex - with money still burning a hole in my pocket I bought the C-100 after missing out on the Charger. It's been working hard ever since and the winter resto didn't happen even though I have the decals for it. Hopefully a project for this winter. Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
