I just picked up this tiller. Model 2091 01. I am trying to find out what year it is. My internet searches have not helped. I would also hope to find out what type of oil to use in the lower end and correct spark plug as I will be restoring it this winter for next years' gardening. thnx - ron

Welcome to GTT!

Its your lucky day, I happen to have a 1 page brochure featuring the Mustang tiller :D

Sorry for the poor quality. I was having technical difficulties.

I will look in my Bolens binders and see if I can find a partslist and more information about your tiller.
It should be around 1970-1974

[Bolens 1000]

The 2091-01 tiller was made for one year only (1971) and was 4HP
Here's the partslist: Deluxe mustang Partslist - Manuals - Garden Tractor Talk - Forums

Hey, thanks to all. i have downloaded and saved the PDF's. So, do we know why they only made this model for one year?

[mjodrey]

Welcome to the forum.
Glad to have you with us.
That's great you got the info you needed.

[Bolens 1000]

There's really no specific reason why Bolens made this one year. Bolens was always changing their paint scheme and design so it was pretty common for equipment to be made for a year or two before they came out with a different design or color.

Ok, that's great. Thank you and thnx everyone for the welcome msgs. I am excited to tear this down and get it rebuilt for spring. I will post pics when done... Thnx again - ron

Brian was 1/2 right.:smile1:

The 2091-01 began as a 1970 model, and was only made in 1970 & 1971.

The 1970 Service school manual I have shows the 2091-01 as being a 71' only
I know there have been a few errors in the past with these manuals....could this be another?

BTW.. thanks for the brochure of that tiller :D

Why would a 1970 manual have any information about a 1971 model?  .....Sumptin' ain't right!

The 1977 manual shows it for 1970 & 1971.

[Bolens 1000]

Oops Thats my mistake... I think I'm still half asleep LOL Its a 1976 Service seminar manual that has information from about 1952-1976

I took a second look and again I was wrong :wallbanging:

It indeed was made from 1970-1971

Maybe I need to get some Glasses :D
