I found an nice kit like this with the optional belt powered side discharge grass collector on A ST140 for 300.00 and my friend thought it was to much money. A guy in the next town over bought and sold it a week later for 900.00.. This is a great mower for a small plot, excellent that got a tiller with it!

the guy i bought the tiller had an st160 with the belt powered side mulcher fitted was in nice condition but he uses it  so not for sale he had a bolens dump cart that he nearly sold me but then he decided it was to useful shame

There is a man I know that used to be a Bolens dealer in the 70's and 80's and he has two Quonset huts full of Bolens tractors and parts. He says he will sell things, but when you come with a truck or trailer, he is not ready to part with anything. It's been 5 years, and still have never got him to let go of anything.

That show, like most American reality shows, is a huge farce. The producers stage 90 percent of the dealings on that show by negotiations prior to the taping. I break the ice as well as anyone, in 5 years I have found this man old Bolens tractors he wanted, an OH160 engine for his wife's tilling tractor, and mountains of technical manuals he had lost or were destroyed from his days as a dealer. Some people are self centered where they actually believe the world revolves around them, he is one. This guy has four 100 foot barns full of stuff, ten 53" foot semi trailer cargo units full, and still refuses to budge on anything. I don't have a problem with that, but he constantly asks people to do things for him by promising to let them in on some deals they want, but he never comes through. I keep telling people it wont happen, but many still bow and curtsy to him for the hope of a tiller or tractor. One day he will pass and there will be an auction, most stuff will bring scrap pricing. I won't be there, he has nothing I need or want anymore, I went out and found it elsewhere. It is what it is, and you reap what you sow. I don't feel bad for helping this man, I would do it again for another, but not him, not again. There are quite a few guys (couple from GTT) that I have either given stuff to or priced very, very low, because I believe it's the right thing to do, but these things must be a two way street.
