Howdy.  Welcome to GTtalk,  Glad u found this site.  Great bunch of folks here. 

The answer to your question should be in the manuals section, I don't know how many posts u have to have to get there.  Be patient, there are several bolens gurus here that can answer your question easy!  Again, welcome!

Welcome to GTT

 

Do you have any pictures or a model number of your deck?

Bolens used a few different styles over the years.

Sure here you go and one of the whole machine for good measure.

Very Nice 1050!

 

Did a search on ebay but nothing came up. You may want to check with one of our site Sponsors to see if they have anything.

Yea i hope i think i could make it with a 1" wide and 1/4" thick metal i just need a good picture cause i dont think a vender will have this and i need to mow like now but i dont want to cut my lawn too short yet.

I may have one if some one gets a pic of what you need...

[Bolens 1000]

Here's the best pic I have (Note the plastic pipe over the spring is not OEM)

 

There is a spring which helps with the flotation of the deck that is also needed with the lift rod.

John, Welcome aboard!     Enjoy the site and Good Luck findin your part.

This was the deck my Grandfather had.

If I remember right he used to oil the shaft and spring to prevent rusting and I think the pipe was so the oil would not get on your clothes

(He liked to grease everything, Sometimes too much )

Thanks for the pictures this means i am going to have to track one down I really just want to mow my lawn so bad and not use a push mower lol.

Does anyone know the model number off hand for this deck and the tractor found a vendor that might have one.
