Looking good! Looks like you've got some fresh snow too...I'm jealous! Now you have the bug, or addiction. You will not be able to stop thinking about your Bolens, and thinking about what other Bolens are out there. Much like women, good thing about the Bolens is they're less $ and don't get mad at you.

Buddy is going to address shifting issues we managed to get it in all gears put it back together and it wouldn't go into neutral. I'm sure it's something simple. Blower runs smooth a couple bends in blade I will straighten thinking about repainting fenders and hood possibly try to find correct seat.
I'm just so amazed how well built they are!

Check to see if the shifting lever slipped out of its grove.Many times worn out or loose retaining plates will allow your lever to slide out of the shifting forks

Download the big shop manual from our Manuals Section.

 

I found that these are a great way to get teens away from the video games. You can teach them some practical mechanics too. The best snow removal will be to get it all fixed up and have your daughter do it. You lose seat time but, she will be learning that work can be fun. Good Luck, Rick
