it's nice enough to keep original, great little tractor Thanks for posting it. How about a side pic?

I have four extra copies of the two brochures in the post. I'd be willing to send them over for postage and you can throw darts to see who gets them, lol, or go together on them and share the postage.

Here ya go mate, take your pick, the decal on mine is the third picture

I was somewhat miffed by Old Buzzards response in another section, but I don't believe he intentionally wanted to be be insensitive to the situation. We are social constructed animals, therefore we say and do things that we learned through the socialization process that happens in all facets of our lives. Before last year I thought I was culturally sensitive to others due to my experience with being a victim of culturally insensitive comments and actions. After taking Multicultural Counseling at University, it really opened my eyes as to how we don't mean to be insensitive or uncaring to another culture, but it happens. My fathers family was German and French, he met my mom while stationed in the states her family was Irish and Cherokee. When I came to the states I lived in the same house and went to the same school for 10 years, but I was always the foreign kid or the German. My mothers family were from Ireland, the Irish as many know were horribly discriminated against here in America, and those Irish that married Native Americans, like my grandfather did, were thought of as less than human. Native Americans and Americans of all nationalities look at the American Bison as a symbol of our great nation, like the Bald Eagle, to destroy it in the way that was done in NY brings back very hurtful memories to those of native descent and should do the same for any American or a person that is concerned about the environment. We humans have not been good stewards of our environment and our time of being wasteful and destructive is coming to a close. It's all I have to say about this, except to say that I will strive to be better and do better.

Thanks Andrew. Those tires ARE the business. They are ITP 589s, no lugs bigger or better, I have them on my Massey 1650 and it pulled a full size truck out of a muddy ditch without slipping. The Massey and Bolens tires are 10" (26cm) wide. All are 25" (65cm) tall. I also have them on an Ariens GT14H, but in the 25x8-12 (20cm) width for plowing and garden work. I got a good deal on them, just under 100 US a tire delivered to my door. They are 189.00 a piece now, if you can find them.

I wore my good clothes to finals, a haircut would have been in order, but it was either keep the water on or get a hair cut, monthly water bill runs the same as a good haircut around here, about 20.00 US

I took some time to drive the Bolens H16 and then wash it up after sitting in the shed for a few month, also scrubbed and sanded the deck. It's got a first coat, next it will get a vigorous sanding, filling primer, and finish coat with poly converter added for hardness and gloss retention. The white specks are ash from the burn barrel, paint was more than dry

I finished finals today, lots of essay's and papers to turn in, over 100 pages of term papers. I am apply to go to a prestigious psychology institute in Vienna, as I see that route beneficial to a person of my age. My grades are good enough, just not sure how I will be able to be away from home for 6-9 months.

you be the judge, is the way mature and intelligent men deal with loose animals? http://nypost.com/2015/04/24/buffalo-herd-shot-and-killed-after-escaping-farm-near-albany/

Yeah because buffalo are worse than the black bears that are in the same area. Nope it wasn't done for fun it was a intentional and inhumane slaughter, God forbid your urban area has a withstand 15 "cows" until they could be herded up. They did the same thing to starve the Native Americans, this time traffic and urban safety are at risk, real mature human beings at work. I apologize and will refrain from commenting any further.

I uploaded some pictures under Alain's Pictures in the gallery, they are of a stash of Bolens, Wisconsin, Tecumseh, and Kohler manuals I was given today. Two brochures for 1977 Bolens tractors and attachments, I received 5 copies of each of those.
