Triumph66 1,256 #1 Posted September 11, 2014 Just to say that the Bolens bug have bitten me again; a symptom that Chris and Iain knows only too well! I am in the process of acquiring a 1963 Bolens 800 with a mowing deck attached to it. It's in really good condition and have been sympathetically restored a few years ago. I just need to add some detailing at some point and buy some drive belts. Photos to follow once it's safely in my care. Cheers for now. 1 robdono reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
