Triumph66 1,256 #2 Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks Chris for taking a photo of this mysterious Bolens. Really difficult to ascertain it identity. I think behind the Bolens (mid 2/3 right centre) is a WheelHorse with what looks like a rounded hood? Not sure but worth investigating I would think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slf-uk 914 #24 Posted July 27, 2016 You had me going with this one, especially as I am convinced another Bolens (or part of one) is about somewhere. I was on the edge of my seat and getting excited, not good at my age Last time I was this excited was when I realised Kylie had a sister Iain 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
