Looked at a Bolens EK10

[chieffan]

Guy has had it listed on FB for awhile. I don't do FB but the Mrs. found it. Has the snow thrower mounted and a deck with it. Looks in good condition, decals good, steering tight, etc. Was on a small trailer with a bunch of other stuff around it as the guy just moved to the present location. Bought it for $250. Needs a little TLC like anything one finds. Will get pics when I get it. OTR truck driver so will be a few days before he is back home again.

Brought the EK10 home this morning. Drove it on the trailer and off into the garage to store for the winter. To soft to get down to the lower building. Needs some TLC but nothing major. If we get a bunch of snow tonight and tomorrow I may use it just to try it out and leave the Cub Diesel sit. I slid the deck under the corn fuel wagon. Adjusting knobs are free but needs two wheels.

snow blower doesn't look like it was used much, aside from the seat looks like it should clean up nice

Seats are about always junk on any tractor found in this area.

Congratulations! I have always thought that those are some pretty awesome machines.

When I drove this one off the trailer is seemed kind of loose in the steering but that may be from the added weight of the thrower on the front. They are kind of a fun machine to run. I used the 7 a couple times to mow the area in our yard with several bushes, clothes line pole, trees, etc. Was a learning curve for sure. With a deck steering is easy but the ratio is low. Got to do some cranking on it. Kind of anxious to see what this one will do with 1/3 more HP.
