Congratulations Matt on the birth of your baby boy.  

Sounds great Matt. Runs well. New tyres and a good service will set it up nicely.

Bit off tinkering to do... but not bad for an old girl that hasnt moved in 15yr

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 ) 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 

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 

Tyres provisionally sold to Matt. Another Bolens on the 'road' 

Thanks all!  
Couldn't find  happier with the boys... 
also this paternity leave is fantastic, iv painted the horwool, bought the bolens and got 12 months ticket on the cortina! 
And iv still got 2 weeks to go  
 
Once again.... thanks all. 
Here is mason (2) and leo the new addition 

Will look into  the bolens forumn... 
 
And will get a photo off it running... as soon as it is! Just working at getting the front off to get to the points 

Engine number - 
190401 013(poss 8)9 01 7001261
 
From what I can work out it was made on 26/01/1970 which would put it in line to be an 853? 
 

Already been looking haha! 

Looking good buddy giving me ideas 

Thanks all!

Going to collect this Tonight. 
Unsure what model it is. 
Apparently has a briggs and stratton engine 
 
Something for little man to grow into... 
 
Any info on one off these?  And will wheel horse rear wheels fit?

Said bolens in the add... but the chap wasn't sure on year or model. 
Iv narrowed it down to a bolens husky? But nothing further than that... and I don't think any off them came with briggs and stratton
