We know of a couple of bigger Bolens collectors in the US and even a couple of big collectors over here. It would be great to put on an event at some point in the future, you will have to pop over. Take care
That was a good idea to have the 3 projects lined up together to see what's what. I'm looking forward to seeing the work coming up. Take care my friend 🔧👍
Thanks. By having these together I think we have noticed a lot of things we would not have normally. I am pleased you will be following along. Take care
Thanks Del. We have a lot of parts but I think we will need a lot more. Shipping from the US seems to be getting more expensive by the day, we will have to see if we can make friends with someone that travels between our two countries. Take care
A Big Hello from The 180 Florida Crew to the Garden Tractor Boy Crew. Aways great to see anther project started from the masters of Bolens restoration. Excellent to see the way these old machines are brought to life and saved.
Thanks you for the kind words. I hope we can get them running again and fully rebuilt at some point in the future. It is great to watch and follow your videos. Take care
I think you are right. It should be possible to get some parts in the US but the shipping seem to get more expensive by the day. We need to make friends with someone that does a lot of travelling between our two countries. Take care
Hello Joseph, A great project introduction... I am looking forward to seeing this one progress... It makes total sense to get the tractors to be up and running first and then do a more comprehensive restoration when times allows. Also as I keep on banking on about the overhead on making new parts is far reduced when making multiples... See you next Saturday. Take care. Paul,,
Thanks Paul. It will interesting to see where this project take us although I am sure it will be fun. Having all three running would be very cool. Take care
How's she goin'? It's good for you to have the 3 tractors all together so you can examine each one for the differences or what was 'factory' set ups. You have spotted a lot of 'little' things that will make these rebuilds interesting to follow. You also have yourself a pretty good supply of replacement parts. Looks like you and your Dad will have a busy fall!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Thanks. You are right, we are learning a lot already by having these together, 60 years is a long time for previous owners to make changes. I am sure we will need more parts and I think you are also right in saying we will be very busy. Take care
Thanks. These Ride-a-matic's are fantastic machines, you are very welcome to take one of our working ones for a spin if you find yourself in this part of the country. Take care
Wow. You fellas are gunna be busy. Will be great to watch and see how things progress. There was one of those at our provincial exhibition here called , old home week. I’ll see if I can find a picture of it and send it to you. Not something you see here too much. Not sure of the year of it, but you will know. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
A great start to the new series. Plenty of mods to be “unmodified” with that trio 😁👍
Thanks. 60 years is a long time for previous owners to have made changes. Take care

As well versed as you are on these tractors the only catch will be getting the needed parts 👍

Plenty of new bits to fit, and lots of modding work too, but you will get there!
