It looks nice as far as paint and rust and if that engine and hydro run well then you did not do all that bad in my opinion. You can knock off $150.00 for the weights and chains and another $100.00 for the homemade 3pt and harrow.
New acquisition 1900H Bolens
I just picked this up for $650. Sounded like a good deal, now maybe not so much. The first thing I had to do was fix the steering (center the shaft on the sector gear) and align the wheels (they were toed out almost a half inch), it works but I will need to replace the tie rod and one tie rod end in the not to distant future. The PTO belts and tensioner have been jerry rigged and the parts and the tractor (front) don't seem to match the parts book, I'll have to dig deeper into this if I want to put the snow blower on it, and I do. The hydraulic lift has been basterdised to hook-up a home made 3-point hitch for the furrow plow and disk set that was included, I don't need them, so anybody that is interested.....
So was it a good deal? It will take some work, but it runs strong and came with wheel weights and chains. It will allow me to completely dismantle the 1700H for a complete restoration over the winter while it will be my snow clearing machine (then it will get the treatment starting in the spring).:fing20:

OK. I've figured it out, between Sonny's and Sams I was able to search thru parts manuals of similar size tractors, and behold what I have is not a 1900H but a 1966 (QT-19). No more mystery about the PTO, and Sonny's is sending me a diagram and installation of the three point (as it is supposed to be) along with new belts and spring for the PTO. Anyhow here is the photo of the other side.
