Chris 642 #1 Posted January 2, 2016 Well this is the lastest Bolens in my fleet. 1973 Bolens 1556 c/w tiller. Runs well but a right pig to start, Hopefully with a good service & carb clean will solve it.

HeadExam 1,783 #10 Posted January 3, 2016 Very nice Chris, even in its state it epitomizes strength and toughness. It surely is both of those things. I believe I did upload a couple of manuals for the 1556 as well. Glad to be of any help I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wurzel 117 #17 Posted January 7, 2016 Hi Chris i like the club idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #18 Posted January 7, 2016 A word of advice on any loader tractor, if intended for daily or extensive use, the frame really needs to be strengthen/braced. Almost every loader tractors I have found has had several stress cracks in the frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
