New Bolens owner from S.E. Michigan with PICS

Welcome to the forum, braxx. I'm relatively new here, as well. MTF is, by far, the best forum I have found. :Welcome1:

That looks like a great tractor and set of attachments. It reminds me a lot of my 1253 (1970) with exactly the same attachments you have. It looks like the PO took very good care of it, considering it's going to be 43 years old in about 2 hours. LOL

As far as what you'll be able to do with it all; as long as you have a yard and a driveway, you're going to find it all very useful.

BTW: For cellphone pics, they look pretty good to me.

Happy New Year and good luck with your newly adopted Bolens!

Nice looking machine--and the attachments are just iceing on the cake....

(more you have, though--the more you want)

BTW--Welcome over to MTF!!:Welcome1:

I noticed you said (I'm a technical author and I write factory repair/service manuals for a living.)
Could that mean you may be able to help members with locating manuals?

I work for an OEM automotive manufacturer (One of the original BIG 3). I write removal & installation and dissassembly & assembly of seats.

No connection with the manual you would use for tractors. As a matter of fact the stuff I write for is 2013 model year and we don't print the publication. It's all electronic.

Sorry I can't be of any help in that way.

Welcome and congratulations! That's a beautiful machine. If you don't know what to do with it at home, you can always make a few extra bucks on the weekend with it!

Ya, I'm sure I will be blowing/plowing snow for the whole block and tilling gardens at my house, parents house and inlaws house.
I'm sure I'll find uses.
