    Find of the day

    Got an email the other day to pick this up. He'd been referred to my Facebook page. Since it's about 35 miles away, arranged to get them when I went there on a regular run to a body shop. Got a pickup load of body parts - then these:

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I love them old Bolens. They are good old tractors. Are you going to scrap it, or are you going to fix it up or sell it?

    I'm going to list it on my Facebook page where I list stuff I think someone might find useful and trade for scrap metal or cash. First, as is, then I'm thinking about fixing it up to sell.

    Mick, that Bolens looks like an ugly twin to the one we have at the scrapping farm. 18hp Briggs twin cylinder with a good mower, we use it every week. Very good workhorse for it's size.

    You guys are killing me lately with the old mowers. I've never found something that old or "nice" in my area. Then again I don't really have the time to get as much into scrapping as I want to be. Hopefully someone will buy it as is and fix it up. It would look good sitting next to CMHN's Simplicity he just found.
