Some early BCS tractors were Grillos painted blue BCS tillers are Grillo design as the two companies worked together in the 80's Because Grillo's are not as well known as BCS tractor I can buy tractor that is equal to the next level up in BCS the importer is 60 miles from my house so parts are close He is also the closest BCS dealer

When I was a kid we had an old Planet Jr. my Dad called "The Mankiller" He finally gave up on it and got a 9N Ford.

Storing bike in the garage. I have a 15-20 ft piece of 2" pipe spanning the rafters near the eaves with S bent rebar hooks with rubber hose on them and can hang about 8 bikes out of the way of the car. I do need to pull one bike down to use the drill press or table saw. My lawn tractor has plenty of room underneath.

Cool old machine . I have had several vintage walking tractors . in the time period from the end of WWII till early 60's there were around 65 companies making walking tractors Gravely discontinued the last U.S. made one in 2004
I don't want to hang bikes as I plan to ride everything I have at least occasionally If it doesn't get ridden I need to put it in the hands of some one who will .
I have a
surly LHT
Surly Steamroller
Electra loft 1
Univega Mtn bike converted to a drop bar with urban tires
Gravity deadeye monster S.S. fatbike
80ish Huffy 3 speed made in the town I graduated in

Moving stuff around to make room is what started this thread

Depending on overhead clearance a folding or stacked bike rack cold be an option.

Are you able to put your lawn/gardening equipment on the walls? If you can't hang things from the wall, perhaps make a cantilever rack out of 2x4s?


I've also seen bike racks in stores where the bikes are stored on the wall, tires to the wall. Then the hooks that are holding them to the wall rotate like a gate hinge.
Similar to what you see in this picture:
