[Bolens 1000]

Went on a road trip to NJ Yesterday to pick up a few Bolens items I've been buying the past few months. Big thanks go out to member Bruce Dorsi for Picking up/Holding the items for me until I had a chance to come down.

It was a fun morning getting to meet Bruce again and talk about Bolens

 

This trip was mostly for attachments but I also picked up a Walkbehind

 

First the plows:

1 Versa-Matic Plow

2 Ride-a-Matic Plows

 

 

 

Bolens Walkbehind Roller attachment

 

 

 

Steel Wheel Cultivator

 

 

more in next post...

Bolens Power Ho

Model 12B (1949) Look at that serial number!! Looks like it was made the first day of production.

 

 

 

 

Bolens Cart (Attaches to Ride-a-Matic and walkbehinds)

...Also thanks Ken& Bruce for working out a deal on delivery of  the Bolens Cart

 

 

 

Early Tubeframe Reel

 

 

Bolens Dump Cart

 

All original paint & wood tailgate. Cant believe how good of shape its in as these things usually took a beating.

 

 

Reel for Power-Ho

 

 

More pics of the NOS attachment I picked up tomorrow.

It got to ride in the backseat so it didn't get wet on the way home ...

Very nice bunch of attachments you got Doc..

[Nato77]

That Power Ho looks in great shape!  I also see you got the shaft guard for the tube frame reel mower. You sure picked up some nice stuff to add to your collection!   Congrats on your haul!!

 

Does the Power Ho have the hitch on the back so you can hook up the roller and the cart?

WOW!

[Oregon_Bolens]

Looks like a successful trip! I'm hoping to find a dump cart so I can leave my CC cart behind the IH...shhhhh

[wilberj]

Wow nice trip!

 

And that power ho is early if we go by my thinking on the numbers it was made with in the first week!

[OldBuzzard]

Danged nice buc of goodies there Brian.     

[JDBrian]

A very nice addition to your collection. You must have been fully loaded on the way back.

How many tractors owners can say they have one of the first of a line?  Great scores!
