Bolens walk behind

[thom]

I have found this little Bolens and plan to go buy it. I'm away from home now but will be back in a few days and plan to go get it then. The seller is out of town also so maybe things will work out for me.
The seller doesn't have the missing hood & grille.

Hopefully you got it real cheap. Sometimes the hood and grill show up on eBay. Those rims are probably filled with something nasty, tires look nice! Looks like the drive pulley has a chip out of it.

I fixed a drive pulley like that last year. Cut a washer to fit in the missing piece and welded it in on the outside. JB Weld to fill in and smooth it out on the belt side. Worked out goods.

Thanks, yeah it was listed for $75 OBO. I see the hoods & grilles for sale at shows occasionally. If I find a grille I can make the hood. The standard models didn't have hoods & grilles so when the tank is restored no one will know it ever had/needs one. Both wheels are shot but the tires appear to have been replaced in the not-to-distant past.
