Lars 526 #3 Posted November 3, 2011 Whats under the hood? A guy down the street had a Bolens that if I remember right resembled yours and it had a Wisconsin engine. Mike.......... That's right Mike .. This is in original condition 1254 Have a 12 hp Wisconsin engine, I bought it for 300NOK = $ 50. It did not start .. but it does now:) was just a bad contact on the start relay and dirt in the carburetor. the gray is not original it has a 11-12 hp BS engine, not sure but i think I'll sell them both, and look for more wheel horse, I like them better ..

Rollerman 290 #4 Posted November 3, 2011 I used to have a 600 with the little Briggs. They are sturdy tractors, but a little different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,116 #6 Posted November 9, 2011 I'm restoring a Bolens 650 with my younger brother right now. Pretty cool little tractor. Today I had to completely strip and repaint the hood that he made a COMPLETE mess of! A Bolens is on my wish list now, something in the 10-18 hp range will do.

It's a rugged tractor, it's simply built but strong so I will see this winter, I may restore the 1254 .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
