Unidentified bolens model

[J beal]

Same guy with the Jacobson has this bolens you guys have any idea what model it is thanks

 

[jabelman]

I have seen them before I believe they are pretty uncommon, not my style but it might be a good flip if you get cheap

 

[J beal]

I'm hoping to buy the Jacobson this bolens a simplicity and a wheel horse

 

[jabelman]

did you get pics of the simplicity and wheelhorse

 

[J beal]

These are the tractors I'm interested in not sure what model or year the wheel horse is either

 

[jabelman]

Looks like wheel horse 702 (1962), and a simplicity 725

 

[J beal]

Ive been wanting a wheel horse ever since I saw yours

 

[jabelman]

the 61 to 64 are basically all the same. those tractors all look original and complete and not hacked up, hopefully you can make something happen. any questions let me know

 

[J beal]

@jabelman I appreciate man yes hopefully I can come to an agreement this guy is kinda tuff so we will see I'd love to give them a good home and a second chance

@Rustyoldjunk
can help with the simplicity questions
I sold my 700 wonderboy wish I didn't, the cyclops light is a cool option

the wheel horse is built proof, parts are still easy enough to find. transaxle should be checked, hopefully it's not full of water from sitting, hopefully it rolls, but it's not a deal breaker, they easy to rebuild and you can get all the bearings new

can't tell about the Jacobson other than its a real early one, it will fit in with your misfit collection

 

[J beal]

I really hope I can make a deal I'm trying not to think about it lol incase it dont happen but fingers crossed

@jabelman take a look at the picture of the wheel horse it looks like the does the front axle look bent to you yours looks like it goes straight down this one looks like its pulled forward ? Thanks

 

[jabelman]

the front axle should be the same, I can post a pic later, or if you Google wheelhorse 701 or 702, should be able to find a pic of it. it's a cast iron piece, I doubt it's bent!

 

[J beal]

Yeah that's what I thought but the center part directly under the grill looks pulled forward maybe it's just me

 

[jabelman]

I can't really tell from the pic, unless it's some other piece of metal. even if the frame is bad you should be able to easily find a replacement

 

[Bolens 1000]

That Bolens is called a "Ridemaster" Made in the late 50's , had a Lauson 6hp engine , those particular ones could pull a roller , 3 gang reel mower and had a small snow blade for the front .
