Triumph66 1,256 #6 Posted December 6, 2015 Great collection of Bolens Gary. I like the 853 and the HT20. I got a Ride a Matic, 600, 800, 1254 and a Lawn Keeper. I also got a Ford 100 and Huffy Broad Lawn too. Can never have too many I think! Cheers Andrew 1 minky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triumph66 1,256 #10 Posted December 6, 2015 Just out of interest do the Bolens over in N. Ireland have Howard's Bolens on the decals? Over in England (and presumably Wales & Scotland) most Bolens have the Howard decals. Howard's were the UK importers of Bolens. 1 minky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minky 50 #11 Posted December 6, 2015 most of the decals on mine are incomplete'ish. most seem to have had a paint job. the only thing that most have is the manufacture name FMC. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #12 Posted December 6, 2015 That's interesting. Are there many Bolens in your part of the world? The earlier ones over here come up now and again. 1 minky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minky 50 #13 Posted December 6, 2015 not to sure i seem to just fall into them. i got the qt16 about 5-6 years ago. the 853 i bought cut in half. the HT20 only came up this summer and the G14 only a few weeks ago. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #14 Posted December 6, 2015 There was a great looking G11 on Guntree in Ballynahinch that I wanted to get but the seller didn't want the hassle of strapping her into a pallet........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moogie 372 #22 Posted December 6, 2015 Still waiting for the guy to pull it out of the shed to get a good look at it and to see what he wants for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minky 50 #23 Posted December 6, 2015 i got a bit of a look at it last weekend. not that i could see much in the shed as there was no lights and it was surrounded by other stuff. from what i can see i think it might be a gilson s-series. as noel said, still waiting on him getting it out and sorting a price. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
