I have a couple of Bolens in my area for sale.

I was wondering if anyone thinks they are good buys.

One Bolens is: $500

Bolens H16HT lawn tractor with 42 inch mowing deck and blade with chains. Hydrostatic transmission with hydralic lift. I had the engine rebuilt around 3 years ago with new pistons, rings, etc. Has newer PTO. It now seems to be missing on 1 cylinder and running rough. Everything else seems to work fine. I have bought a 4-wheel drive tractor to maintain 2 properties and no longer need this. Would be great for a 2 cycle mechanic as these were a workhorse.

The second is :
1975 Bolens Lawn Tractor - $525
1975 Bolens Tractor model G12XL. Includes 48" mower deck, snow blower, tire chains, and wheel weights. Starts and runs great. $525 o.b.o.

Thanks

I would see how low they will go first.
the H16 is a nice model but running on one cylinder ????? not worth the $500.
He said it had new pistons so it could be something simple to fix.

It might be a H16xl, QT16, or a Eliminator series if it is a twin.
