cjtrott 6 #1 Posted May 1, 2012 Just picked these two up for a few bucks, but They are missing the numbers so I don't really know what they are... Could anyone give me any idea of what they are and what they are worth? They need tires, but after a carb clean, the horse will run. The bolens doesn't really have any compression so it will take some more work. horse has a deck I have to go pick up, and the bolens has a back blade. Any ideas so I know if I did well on the purchase? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pollack Pete 2,273 #5 Posted May 1, 2012 Bolens is a real early 60's Ride-a-Matic.Probably has a 7 horse Kohler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingwood990 16 #6 Posted May 1, 2012 That's a Bolens Ride-a-Matic. 7 horse Kohler. The color is wrong though. Its supposed to be green and yellow. I have seen them painted gold and white as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
