DennisThornton 4,769 #2115 Posted October 12, 2020 Not a jewel but it's spent 25 years in storage and is probably as nice as I'll find around here. Original tires, decals and some paint. Came with the original engine that knocks. I'm impressed with it's HD structure, shaft drive, front PTO, mid or extended to the rear PTO. Don't see that often! Drove it on and off the truck. Sure needs some upholstery and attachments! I really don't know much about Bolens but I read that they had quite the presence in the 60s and into the 80s. 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHNJ701 4,165 #2117 Posted October 12, 2020 Brave man driving it up and off the ramps! Those old tube frames are pretty stout machines you can work them hard. Wisconsin powered. This one looks really nice and cared for. They used to repro those seat covers but I would guess they now probably more $$ than what you paid for the tractor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not quite as elegantly simple as a Horse is but they're a pretty well built machine. So far I am impressed! I forgot to mention it has an adjustable limited slip differential! And then its 3spd with 2spd rear Twin belt drive to both rear drive and PTOs. Heavy thick cast where needed. It appears that quite a bit of thought was given to attaching the attachments. Heavy mounts on the front and rear axles and of course no belts, just drive shafts. I'm eager to know more about this one and possible attachments Edited October 12, 2020 by DennisThornton 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really nice ramps and it was a very low angle while loading it. I am going to do a better job of securing the ramps to the truck. Overall it is in very good shape for being mid 60s. I've done some upholstery so suppose I could revinyl the seat. Not sure why they did it so complicated and I don't think I would. I'm already annoyed with wet jeans! Actually, it came with like new much more recent molded seat, but it seems in bad taste to use it in this tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
