GTtalk's Featured Tractor for the month of June 2010
Published on 06-02-2010 08:14 AM

This is my dad's Bolens 1053 that I recently restored in the summer of 2009. I first started by taking it apart piece by piece until it didn't even look like it could be a tractor anymore. Once I had it torn down I proceeded with sandblasting every single piece. There wasn't a single piece that wasn't bare metal till I was finished. I then painted it and assembled everything back together as well as went over the motor, replaced the gaskets and rebuilt the carb. The wheels still need finished but she fires right off now even after sitting for a month or two. If you would like to read more or see more of the pictures of the restoration you can view the article
