That's cool, me like !!  :thumbs:  :thumbs:

 

Thanks Paul, I love it. The artic steer is very cool but it takes some getting used too.

 

Never mind that. What's the track belong to, Tom? ;)

 

A Kubota tracked dumper :D

 

Looks like a power dumper with a press sitting in the skip.

Nice Bolens btw

 

It is indeed, although the press is actually behind it!

 

it looks really cool, if you don't mind me asking how much was it?

 

Thanks, I haven't really seen any in the UK. I paid £175 for it.

One day I hope to get one for the wife, she really likes the look of them, maybe then I can get her to start cutting some grass. It's not that she won't cut grass now, I just wont let her drive any of my machines. She doesn't even drive a car, why would I let her on one of my treasures? If she had her own machine she might keep me busy repairing it, but I don't mind, she mowed down all the bushes and flowers years ago. I may have to up my Insurance coverage

Nice looking Estate Keeper.  :thumbs:  :thumbs: :thumbs:  

 

I'm guessing that it's the 7HP version, built in 1964-66.

 

Looks to be pretty much original except for the seat.

 

Here's a pic of my EK7 so you can see how the seat should be mounted.

Tom, welcome to the Bolens Boys Club!

That's a great looking EK which is the bigger brother to the LK (Lawn Keeper). A great find and I think you will enjoy using it.

Keep us posted.

Nearly bought a G14 at the Cheffins vintage sale yesterday, but it went for £270.00!

 

Thats a cheap price for a bolens now a days. They all seem to be going up in value
