Stuck the box on the front and pushed it outside today for the final pictures......... Have a new project to collect tomorrow!

I found a deck for my Bolens large frame tractor it was 800 miles north of me and I had it shipped down. It was in very good shape and cost of deck and shipping together was only 200 US. 100 for the deck, 100 for the shipping. I've cleaned the bottom of the deck and sharpened the blades, greased the the spindles and u-joints. I have new factory clevis pins for all the hook up points as well. I'm going to coat the bottom of the deck with a special paint they use on cell phone towers, hardest stuff I ever used. For a 45 year old deck to still have paint on the bottom and blades is amazing.

i pulled this into the workshop and made a start on it deck first

Good work, guys. You solved a problem that plagues many small tractor owners;weight. Sorry to say, but most of these small tractors are not very useful, even with weights, A gas powered large garden tractor will out preform many of them. I know my 14hp Bolens 1476 Large frame is heads and tails above the 15hp Bolens Iseki 4x4 diesel I used to own. It was a complete joke. My friend has a new John Deere sub-compact and a older Kubota sub-compact and I don't think much of them either. They have to be light enough with the hp offered, and the hp offered wasn't enough for the weight of the tractor alone, that kills its usefulness.
