1971 model,one owner until recently.Engine sounds nice,could prob. use a carb cleaning.Drives nice,feels like a strong machine.It came with a deck,single stage snowthrower,sander,4 way hydraulic plow,factory cast wheel weights and a three point hitch.Does this take the same carb kit as the single K series?My computer is down,i'm having trouble posting pics from my phone....Anything special to look at on these large frames???

They are JUNK !! I'll take it off your hands if you wanna unload it cheap.

Just kidding of course. One of the best tractors Bolens ever made IMO. I have 4 - 1886's.
