well i went to a auction on saturday an bought a rough bolens 1000. it needs alot of work but its complete besides the pto, the engine turns over, the fiberglass fenders are in good shape, an it was goin to get bought buy a scraper so i had to save it. i only paid 35 bucks for it and i think they were only made 1 year. i always wanted one after my 63 600 got stolen from me. i will get some pics after i get it unloaded tomarrow. im goin to do a complete ground up restoration. i made a deal on a danuser cd1 posthole digger and its on a 1050 so im goin to use the parts from the 1050 on the 1000 and restore the posthole digger and the 1000 will be just for the digger because they are a pain to take on and off. when i get the digger i will post some pics. i forgot to grab the camers when i went to go look at it:drunkie:
