Definitely a Bolens and a damn good price too! It's a Tube Frame model with a Briggs engine. Be good to see a photo of the engine to identify it.
Nice find!
By by the way, one Bolens ain't enough!
Love it! Now that's what I call a Wheel Horse; I just dig those earlier ones.
Will you repaint it or leave it as is apart from going over the running gears and engine.
Different seller Matt. Made contact at last this afternoon and said he sold it yesterday. I texted the new seller and asked a few questions including how long he had it. Replied 'been in his family for 15 years.......'
I picked up a Bolens 1254 for a fellow Bolens enthusiast this morning up in North Devon. Phil contacted me via GTT and I was happy to help out a fellow enthusiast. I got it stored at my lock up until he can collect it in a month or so. It's a 1254-05 model and is is good overall condition. There's no engine but he got a spare one knocking around apparently.
