Is there any tractor you dont own Iain

Well if you want to bring down we can try You must have driven past my place with it all those years ago when you brought it Still kick myself not bidding on the other 23 last year

Heres an 853 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POm9LK0VhmQ

These wheels are monster 26x12-12

Sorry Nigel, going to put these to work! What model bolens do you have in??

Welding a petrol tank!

Was that an imported job??

A few years ago I brought a set of rear wheels & turf tyres for my bolens tractors on the bay They have been sat in the shed for years. I thought to myself I will fit a set of agri grip tyres so I have a set for my 1886. The other month, these poped up on the bay, brand new so I brought them & had them shipped down to me. At the weekend after buying some new tubes, I fitted them. Good when you own a tyre machine Just need some time to fit them to the tractor

Sorry to here that Charlie. What about a larger bolens tractor which needs some tlc?? I was offered a tractor & deck at after the tractor fest. The owner was open to sensible offers as it needs work & engine put back in. Its a monster 18hp single cylinder tech PM me with your email & I can send you info if you wish

That is very nice! Is that a home made build or an approved attachment made for MG crawlers?? I like the paint job

Well its not another Bolens or WH as its got yellow on it

Code means August 1998 Hope that helps Chris

Like it. Whos the mistery driver then or can we add our own faces

The only reliable non-invasive test is with a leak down tester - not usually found outside a professional workshop. I have a leak down tester

Lets hope it purrs with a new carb You got a good spark??

Its all in my head Iain Funny thing is I cant remember any Birthdays or important days

Dont know?? One of the guys recons rust round the frame?? Dont know how we are going to get a replacement yet

I poped out of the workshop on Friday for 10 mins to pick up some parts which had arrived When I got back, on of the guys came up to me & said something had gone bang in my workshop! Thinking that it may have been the landrover I had been working on had slipped of the axle stands. Wrong! Our old Case 885XL tractor winscreen had gone bang What a mess that will be to clean up. It was only parked in the barn next door!! Not bad since it was fitted in 1987

My money is on the valves & ignition The coil is electronic, you cant do anything with it apart from replace at great cost. Have you changed the plugs, correct gaps etc?? If you say the carb is refurbed & tested it cant be that

Looks good Ben My other half would go mental if she found that on our table!!

Maybe all those exhaust fumes killed the poor thing!

I have a mate who has a front mounted flail for a bolens Yet to see it but he says its huge!

I saw that up for auction Iain Did I spot a finger bar mower for it in one of the pics???

Lovely tractor!

You did Andrew!
