    Bolens, Bolens, Bolens

    Friday I will be visiting a friend I met several years ago. He used to be a Bolens dealer in the area and has a LARGE Quonset hut full of tractors and equipment that he has decided to sell. I know he has a H14, got dibs on that one for a friend, but he also has a 600, 800, 850 as well as several H14XL, Eliminators, and QTs, along with several shaft drive tillers, mower gearboxes, deck shells 3 point large frame hitches and many other assorted Bolens parts. He is a machinist and made a few of the NLA blade mounts for the larger GTs out of solid billet aluminum, the ones that have extra holes in case the old screws break off or get stripped. I'll be going out Friday to take pictures and make a list of inventory and see if I can help him move it. I'll post the pictures and results here Saturday.

    New to me Brinly Cultivator

    A guy called me that got my number from a local mower shop that told him I knew about old garden tractors. He had just purchased a Bolens G14 from his neighbor and wanted a plow. First I told him he needed a hitch. I printed him all the drawings of the sleeve hitch and rod. He got the hitch built, but could not find a 5/8" pipe, so he used 1 inch pipe, not my style, eBay has 5/8" I.D. by 5 inch pipe that is used as a large wheel bushing for under 10.00. Anyway, long story short (ha) my friend that lives near Oklahoma City, about 175 miles south west one way from here told him he would sell him a Brinly plow. Originally he was going to bring the plow up here when he came up this way to pick up a tractor, but he had a injury and will not be coming. I called him and told him me and the old fellow who bought the plow were coming down, he said I might want to see if the guy wanted a brinly cultivator as well, heck no, I wanted it. I had one before and sold it along with a brinly disk, dumb, dumb, dumb. at least I'm getting the cultivator back. Sorry mates the plow was sold before I knew you were all looking for one, I know of several more around here though.

    Tractor World 2015

    Much to my surprise and delight my Ransomes MG6 Digger won first in class 10. It was a very enjoyable show if a bit cold, the organisers were so helpful with set up , I would definitely exhibit there again.

    Brinly plough

    I see them around here all the time, I could start rounding them up until we reach 6. I think I've bought and sold more than 6 of them in the last two years, mostly as a favor to those that needed them. What would it cost to send them over to GB, and whats this about a tax. I don't pay taxes on much of anything being a ex service member and a rancher with 20 acres or more doesn't pay on any farm supplies.

    A slight move around in the workshop

    I hope your health insurance premiums are paid up, if I had that tractor I would be in hospital all the time, its why I sold my Motorcycles, 10 wrecks in a month. A couple liters of Kentucky Straight Bourbon didn't have anything to do with the accidents (sure it didn't), but at least it lessened the pain temporarily. I don't ride two wheelers or drink anymore, but I could see getting upside down in that rig real fast. I'd love to see a video of it going down the street.
