This is the owner's/operation manual for the earlier 42" deck. Identified by the green mounting bails and rods. These usually didn't have any wheels although there was an optional wheel kit available.

Do you have a great big pile of manuals just laying around waiting to be scanned? I think it's a cool (and maybe invaluable) resource you're providing to Bolens owners. So, how long have you been collecting Bolens manuals?

Not a great big pile, but enough to share and keep me busy. I figured there are a lot of people picking up used equipment that might not be sure if all the parts are there or how a certain deck should be leveled. I recently found the manual for the front reel mower on ebay and learned how to adjust cutting height without trial and error. I'll post that one soon also.

I think that's great.

My maw-in-law is an avid yard-saler who picks up all sorts of old books & manuals for me that she thinks I might like at the sales she visits (usually cars, history or computer related). I'll have to ask her to keep her eyes open for mower/tractor manuals too.

If anything good comes my way, I'll follow your example & post 'em.
