Buying Advice Any Suffolk Punch owners on here ?

[pugaltitude]

I specialise in cylinder grinding and get all sorts of ages of suffolks in as well.

What I see though is owners are not wanting to keep spending money on old machinery and rather spend on new.

The old colt with the cast iron engine and zenith carb are brilliant.
just serviced one this week and runs and especially ticks over perfectly.

Cant say that for the aluminium engine.

The QX style suffolk is a great machine.
Simple design but maybe a bit expensive for what it is.

I didnt think the loncin engine was going to be any good but changed my mind after using it.
Bitch to remove spark plug though.:laughing:

I would love to have an older Suffolk Punch / Atco cylinder mower with heavy roller if anybody knows of any going to waste or for sale in/around VA. I'd happily travel for a nice one, like pugaltitude in MD if you have any in, come in.

I'd rescue them from the dump as a kid and could pretty much always get them going again. Had all sorts: pull start, crank start, kick start, with/without pull behind gurney etc. Fabulous machines. And the really old ones had the most fabulous & intricate brass fuel pipes.

Thanks for any links to Craigslist, sellers etc.

Jason.
