WANTED: Ride On Lawnmower

[jimmy]

I am in the market for a new Ride-On/Garden Tractor/Lawnmower, I am after a medium sized to proffesional sized machine, not a little B&Q jobby!

Seeing as you lot are such a helpful bunch I thought I would run it past you and see if anybody has one for sale, knows of one for sale or has a contact in the trade.

Ideally I would like a Jonsered, Husqvarna or Stiga Out Front Rider type with Bio deck and at least 13hp. It needs to be manouverable and capable of cutting a fine lawn as well as orchards, verges and paddocks.

I currently have 7 lawnmowers that I have sold or am selling on ebay and am looking at replacing all of them with one mower to free up some space and time!!

Hmmmmmmmm.
Now there's an interesting mod.
A superchipped lawnmower.

I bought myself a well used Stiga Park Pro 16, it is need of some work but is basically a good machine at very good price, new these are just over £5000, I got it for a fraction of that. The engine is a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-Twin, it's like a V8 but a 2 cylinder, it is about the size of a smart car engine, 570cc but only 16hp, needs a turbo!!

I have stripped the engine as it needs some new bits, two new pistons, con rods, crankshaft etc, a new engine is £900.

So my next question, I take it nobody is in the lawnmower trade by the lack of (sensible) answers, anybody able to get small engine parts?

 

[jimmy]

And before you smart a@@es come up with some funny answers I mean parts for small engines not small parts for engines.
