Just wondering how many people have a Bolens tractor. There are a lot out there. I have a Bolens 1054 year 1971. Runs like a charm.

LoveThatBolens

I Have a 1669L built in 1991-1993.

I have two decks 48'side discharge and a 42 rear discharge. I converted the rear discharge, to a mulcher.

Also have a new in the crate tiller that I bought in 2008. My 1669L has tail lights, cruise, full hydro, AG tires, full 1250X12 turf tires and an extra set of 1050 X12 tires. Everything works well. No leaks.

Great running Vangard 16 twin. Just rebuilt the original drive shaft with new U-joints that are greasable. The Tractor runs smooth at idle or full speed and has no vibrations.

I Can only guess what all this would cost new today!

WOW. Nice, that really comes in handy in the spring for gardens and things. Tillers are nice.

I have an old model 600 that is waiting for some attention. It is the smallest of the old tube frames. It popped the head gasket and I just parked it and never got back to it. My son who is 10 still calls it his tractor and bugs me sometimes to fix it. Unfortunatly I really don't need it since I have others to do the work but I can't seem to part with it especially with his interest. Maybe this summer.

Come on chrpmaster. fix that 600 for your son. You can brainwash his while he is young.

chrpmaster

I don't have to brainwash him. He is already a tractor freak to the nth degree. This is him in these pics.

Nice. pics. Looks mighty happy on that tractor I'll tell you that.

I remember my first and 'never happened' Bolens deal. By the time I went to finalize the transaction...the lady sold it to someone else. I had a whole list of contacts for rounding up parts too.

I still have that list if you gents are interested?? Think I'll just add it on here and let me know if it help anyone out.

I recently purchased a Bolens 1250 in very good condition. I knew the original owner who recently passed away. I purchased it off the son. It has a plow. I would like to find a mower deck and I'm told there were a couple companies that made a loader bucket for this model.

I'm looking everywhere. Anyone having information they care to share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

800,1050 with hydo lift,1225,G-9,G-12, (3)G-14 (2)1556 + (2) additional G-14 waiting to be brought back to life. Attachments: (2) tillers. (5) snow/dirt plows (1) sleve hitch, cultivators(8) mower decks. (1) thatcher (3) snow blowers. Everytime I buy a tractor for parts I usually end up fixing them ,rather than tearing them apart. My wife (very understanding) calls these Bolens my toys.

A crappy MTD built unit labeled the 662 series.

I've got an 1886 that I rebuilt from a parted out machine and e-bay....nice machine now. I also have a 1477. These 2 tractors share a power angle plow, a 48" deck and a 54" deck, and a 42" snow caster.

I also have a 1256 that has a Chinese made Yanmar 10hp diesel. I use this tractor mostly for tilling, but it also has a 42" deck, 38" snowcaster, and a dirt blade.

Has anyone ever converted the big 18618 tiller for a tube frame to work on a large frame? Looks like the major issue is the drive shaft to tiller connection. I think the large frame tractors have a slip joint on the tiller end, where as the tube frame tillers have the slip joint on the PTO end.

Hello All,

I have a 1969 Bolens 1225 and I love it. It is equipped with a 38" snowthrower and a plaw. I would enjoy a sickle bar for this summer.... any member have information where I could locate one? I live in Quebec, Canada.

Cheers!

I have a 1250 in pretty decent shape. The engine was rebuilt before I got it but it seems to be a little low on power. Has a mower and a Workhorse model 100 loader(both work OK). Hydraulic hoses are getting tired. I'm thinking of selling it. What is it worth? I'm in northern IL
