WHX?? 46,675 #1 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) So @Achto turns me on to this CL listing of a nice little harem of K91's. Too good of a deal to pass on even tho almost 4 hr round trip. I have no idea what to do with them but parts is parts I guess. Might be to get one and possibly two working engines out of the mess. Here where it gets weird tho. This is where I had to go pick them up. http://johnnyproducts.com/ Nope no Johnny Bucket for this kid today Dan. Did have this pair there for sale tho if you is a Bolens freak! 1962's I was told. $750.00 Buyers choice and bet he woulda come down a Grant. Also had this hidden with a bunch of crap. I says I'd go 75 on it but he was stuck on a Franklin. Didn't matter I was cashed out anyway but I know where it's at for future. Would love to stuff it in a late 60's long frame for a custom plow tractor! Edited January 17, 2019 by WHX21 3 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,492 #2 Posted January 17, 2019 Awesome Jim!! glad that you were able to grab those. Sounds like you had fun looking around & meeting some one new. While those particular Bolens tractors are not the most eye pleasing to me, I still want one for some odd reason. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,164 #3 Posted January 18, 2019 the 62 bolens is an odd transition year tractor either you like the look or you don't. I always thought they were kinda cool looking 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought they were kinda cool looking Agreed Jabel.... the front end is a bit funky but what's not to like about the rounded fenders. One would have thought those grilles were pricey to manufacture compared to what was making in '62. 1 hour ago, Achto said: had fun looking around & meeting some one new. Yah you would have like the shop Dan greasy, grimy, not well lit. Had to walk in backwards... sound familiar? But the metal fab machines & steel stock in ther was to die for not to mention a powder coating oven! My kinda place where you ain't gotta worry about bein a bull in a china shop. Johnny was a real nice guy. Had a white goatee like @dells68 but about a foot longer. King Tut got nothing on this guy! Someday I hope to man enough to grow one like that. Showed me around a little and has got only one employee that could put down beads like no tommorow. Takes me next door to a bro's shop where the thumper motor is. Bro builds custom golf carts and you couldn't even walk in this shop backwards! Had a couple of 40k+ Screaming Eagles I left some drool on in ther too! All in all yes ... had a good score and met some cool dudes to boot. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose could have ran to a ATM or asked him if he would take some rubber. Maybe even did a quick PayPal thing. I'm sure that's how he gets paid for his buckets. Told me the 16 came off a Grasshopper and had PTO off both ends of the crank. Perfect for running a HY I thought. It was buried behind a bunch of Briggs and other crap 8 ft. up on industrial shelving and would have taken hours to extract. I take it a Benny is a good price for a 341 you can't hear run? Looked like ther was some head bolt issues and missing the head sheet metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 8,832 #9 Posted January 18, 2019 @WHX21 Does the K91 without the head (bottom left in picture) have a heavier (wider) flywheel than typical, or is it just the picture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,675 #10 Posted January 18, 2019 Not really sure Jim. I kinda thought it did too but didn't pay too much attention at the time. Some investigation is in order. Stay tuned. One thing for sure is a couple have some PO things going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
