This weekend I'm going to checkout a Bolens Ride-A-Matic that belonged to a coworkers uncle. It supposedly has a tiller and a mower deck.

I don't  have any details except its been sitting in a shed a long time, so I'm sure it's not running. 

Am I correct, the round nose ones are 1958,1959 vintage. Then from 1960 to 1962 they gradually got a squarer hood.

 

What would be a good-fair price range for each year model in

 "(fairly complete but rusty restore-able condition"

"( fairly complete with fair paint/patina and engine turns over, possible start-able as is condition)

on  www.MyTractorForum.com , in the Bolens group,

or just Google that question.

      69' / 70' Bolens 1254-01 - PTO Coupler
      By 69-Raider-10
      Hello all. I have a Bolens 1254-01 that Im taking out of retirement and putting back to work as my snow throwing machine. I got it in a trade and it came with a good deck, snow thrower, wheel weights, and chains. I love the spline shaft accessory hookup as I think it will churn up snow better than a belt driven pto. Not to mention the Wisconsin 12hp is in its final stages of life and recently started sending out smoke signals when first started until it warms up. Might as well run it until she quits and rebuild. 
      That being said, I am missing the coupler that attaches the PTO Shaft to the gear box of the attachments. Its a female spline to univeral joint attachment and looks like this.
      Here is the tractor. I recently gave it a sand/prime/paint but no decals yet until I decide on the modded hood staying or going. I took the pic from the Sam Bolens website. Im looking for a cheaper alternative. Thanks for any help!
