CTPATRIOT 12 #1 Posted January 24, 2012 Picked up a large frame Bolens 1886.Came with a 4 way hydraulic snow plow,sander,snow blower,mower deck,weights,three point hitch....Pretty clean original tractor.Anybody have one of these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #2 Posted January 25, 2012 Nice tractor & some fancy implements. Bolens are about as common around me as the Horses, but I havn't seen many of the large frame Bolens. I'm told the parts suport for them isn't like the Horse's. Good score though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,532 #3 Posted January 25, 2012 How big is it? It looks more like the size of a "D" series by the pics. Are the rears 26x12x12? Either way thats a good lookin machine. Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bk-scouter 93 #8 Posted January 26, 2012 Good looking Bolens you have there. I'll admit, I was a little thrown by the term 'sander' until I saw the pictures. -BK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grnlark 479 #15 Posted January 27, 2012 I saw that on CL too. If I know you as well as I think I do, I bet you'll drive it around the house a few times then see what you can barter/trade it for So in other words, let me know when you get to that point. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
