She Lives! Bolens 1476

Recommended Posts

I bought this large frame 1970 Bolens 1476 from an auction sight unseen for 375.00. It has a  the Wisconsin 14hp S14D engine on it ( I also have two excellent replacement engines I bought from the auction for 100.00 as well), and the Eaton 11 Hydro-static transmission. It came with a snow plow and I didn't know anything about its condition. Last spring I attempted to start it with no luck; I thought the starter generator was bad. Well a few days ago I put it on the battery charger. I removed the spark plug and poured Seafoam and Marvel Mystery oil down the spark plug hole and a half hour later I added a liberal amount of petrol in the hole for good measure and put the plug back in. She fired right up and purred like a kitten, a very large kitten. I removed the ratty hubcaps, gave her a wash and installed my really nice Bolens 1476 deck I got with my other 1476, which is going to be set up as a AG tractor and I wont be using the deck on it. Initial start up video:

The Bolens sounds lovely and that's a good price I would think for it too. It looks like another honest little tractor too.

I want a 1477 and a 1455 to complete my early large frame hydro collection, I have my four tube frames, but one needs an engine. The early H16 may get one of my large frame spare S14D engines as a power plant and be a hybrid, or I may look for a HH140 OH valve engine for it, we'll see.

If I did I will be sure it wont be in that condition :(

I know where two 1477's are for 400 each, maybe less
