    I'm gunna ask a silly question I'm sure... 

     

    How come you have gone to the trouble off shipping it across from America?  Is it a special one?  Does look.cool!

    May look into road registering mine.... being the 853 it narrows Down to being made 70/71 and engine number is 71. How would I go about getting a v5? Can't I get a bolens headed letter? Or just apply for a Q plate?

    Little bit smokey at times, but I can investigate that. 

    Yes he loves it and it doesn't bother him in the slightest. 

    Looking forward to sorting the wheels Wednesday and then showing Saturday.  Decided on the fordingbridge summer festival. A bit more relaxed with the new baby and only 5 mins away.

    Managed to sort the gear crunching.... the foot pedal wasn't engaging quite enough. 

    The transmission whine... will that kind off is what it is.. anyone to stop it? 

     

    Silly question I expect.... where is the clutch? And easiest way to check

    Can't get the youtube videos on here.. 

     

    But if you go on YouTube and search 

    bangerboi2b    (account I made a good few years ago :lol:) then I have uploaded a couple onto there. 

     

    The bolens looks quite smokey in one video but that appears to have cleared itself up 

     

    Let me know what you think

    Brilliant! Cheers for the identification. 

     

    Yes all set up and working, appears to be working well. 

    Engine aswell seems to be going well after a few hick ups earlier. 

    I will be taking the carb off for a good clean out soon. 

     

    Only thing left to do asap is the wheels but they should be sorted by next weekend. 

     

    All in all very happy with how she is going... will try and sort the video

    Looking like you got the original engine B)

     

    I would post your tractor on GTT Bolens Forum for a postitive identification that it's an early 853. The guys on that forum got far more knowledge than I on these tractors.

     

    Post ip a video of it

     

    She lives!! 

    After much tinkering, she fired up and stayed running and also DROVE 

     

    Got a film off it... will work out how to do that later
