[Bolens 1000]

Anyone ever hear of a Bolens "Cut away" demo gearbox ? Picked this up on an online auction about a month ago figured for what I paid if the story dosent check out I got new shafts & gears at a killer price . Supposedly guys father was a dealer and this was a service school piece .

makes sense, cut aways were pretty common of teaching and demonstrating especially with automotive industry

My uncle had an entire Gravely cut away.
Whole machine with cutouts everywhere.

The mag even worked.

It would be a salesman or dealer unit given to them by Bolens.

Very cool piece.

Might have been a dealer display.
