Bolens G14XL MDL 1461 Engine Questions

I sold the tractor to a guy that wanted to take over the re-build and use it to plow snow...:fing32:

I'll stick with concentrating on continuing to spiff up my Bolens 2016G...:fing02:

That is a nice big tractor though...:eck21:

I really wish I had the room to just store it for a year or so and then get to what it needed...mainly a deck...Had to let it go...:sorry1:

that looks like a pretty nice tractor, looks nicer than my H16XL, also with no deck but I have no plan to add one.

I was impressed with it...Built really heavy with lots of 1/4" steel...:thThumbsU

It was probably 25% bigger than my 2016G...:greendr:

Too bad we aren't closer I'd have let you have it real cheap...:fing32:

I was told, correct me if I'm wrong, that the only difference in the G11, G12, G14, G18, was the engine horse power...That you could swap any of the engines with the other...:lalala:

Personally, on that big of a machine I'd want at least the 16hp or bigger, if I could get it...:sidelaugh

A friend of mine came over and told me "Hey there's a guy selling the exact same tractor as yours". All he really knew was it was white with green Bolens stickers on it. When I got over there they guy who had it knew he had a Bolens but only cared about making a buck off it...:fing20:

I low balled and harrassed they guy for about a week and he sold it to me. That made 6 tractors in my pole barn...Something had to give...:thSick:

I sold it for the same price I paid after listing it on craigslist for 6 months without a single inquiry...:banghead3

I think it's the part of the country, being here in Michigan...Down south good solid equipment is appreciated, where, up here people are just "Machine Stupid". If something doesn't work right, they run to Home Depot and buy a new piece of junk they can throw away in a few years...:Stop:
