Footrests appear to be Bolens, but the clutch pedal is different.

The same guy has a Ride a Matic thats be repowered with a modern motor, and painted red and black. He wants $150 for it with new tires. He also has a Wheel horse with the motor up front and another with the motor in the middle. I didnt ask the price. Then theres a Cub and 2 of the big 16 hydros with Wards names on them. Should I look ant any of these?

Firstly, matts Welcome to GTT! Great to have you on here. That's a nice rare machine...just the kind I like to see!

Secondly, Thanks for posting the video and the pics! We love pics!

And thirdly, Where are you from and who is this guy with the Wheel Horses LOL? If you could get some pics of those...

[matts]

Well I didnt know we needed Wheel Horse pics. I just got home from the tractor guys house. I bought another machine. Look for the post "Another Bolens". I will get the number from the colum after dinner. Im in Texas. The guy with the Horses is also.

Matt, don't forget about your buddy down south of you. I might be interested if you price is right.

That's the one I was after too, but if it's in Texas, that's a little out of may range! I'd still like to see the pics though!

[matts]

Thats the one that he wont sell. I may get a few more from him. I need a complete GT with a few impliments.

Those Bolens will amaze you how much they can do.
I'd like to see a 6HP "tractor" of today be able to plow a field LOL

[matts]

Am I supposed to have a six? Mine is a 7?

[Bolens 1000]

Your engine looks original, so if you sayits a 7 then its probably a 7. I was just basing the 6HP off the Bolens 600, but with that being different the engine probably was 7HP

Thanks Matt, I got it home and am very happy with it.

Take good care of her Brian.
