Ken B 3,118 #30 Posted May 14, 2014 So, how does this one rank among your favorites Brian? I don't remember enough about my 57 and I was wondering what model Wheel Horse you would say this one mostly competes and or compares with? Bolens really nailed it with the color, totally Art Deco... I'm now looking for one.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,968 #34 Posted May 17, 2014 Sweet tractor Brian. I passed on a totally restored 1957 model about two years ago. I was too busy collecting Wheel Horse stuff at the time. Looking back on it I made a really bad decision to pass up on that Bolens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 40,122 #38 Posted May 18, 2014 Looks like the grass under it could use some rollin! Love the Bolens and the color contrast between it and the Horses make the pic really POP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron S 4 #44 Posted February 18 HI Buckrancher, Same thing different thread, great job, I see this is a pretty old thread not a different site (sorry), I posted on your Birthday thread as well. I have a 1954 Round Nose and am trying to match the paint. Is your color original? What were the colors? Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
