1947 Bolens Ridemaster

[@johnallen310]

My dad had a Bolen ridemaster. We had a blast riding it. It had a six horsepower Wisconsin engine.

Glad to it turn a bit of dirt. Seemed to pull just fine. Thanks for getting this piece of history preserved.

We Have Two, One is a 1957, We use them as Graders, One of um almost killed me when I was about 11 years old, Didn't weigh enough, Flipped over, You operate them like a snowmobile, ( Transfer weight by moving to the light side) I'm 68 now, They still grade floors, driveways and yards, Handy little guys,

[@johntoothman4888]

They dont make them like that any more! Great job bringing her back to life!!

Nice job on that Bolens. I've got a 1961 Montgomery Wards walk behind with snow plow. I bought it from the original owner and it has the original Wisconsin engine and spark plug still on it and it will fire up and run on the third pull. I've plowed my drive in the winter many times with it and it works great.

Excellent story! Thanks for posting! Gordon

It really looks sharp. The time it takes to restore farm equipment, even a unit this small, can be daunting. Nice work.

[@Hillbillysniper]

Forward and reverse is the same as my troy built pto horse tiller, anyways awesome job. Would love to have that machine !

[@paulg444]

That front tire he chose is the right tire for this application!.. There is not much weight over the front tires and so those knobby motorbike tires are perfect.

[@MrGoosePit]

Sure turned out nice. Great job!

[@carterseib223]

They need to make more of them and all the old tractors to those are the best for a homestead or a gardener instead of huge ones for fields

[@Brad772006]

That is a really cool machine!

[@Bowcase]

Forward and reverse are the same as the early models of the Troy Bill rototiller.

[@chainsawchips]

Ebay has those Ag tires you're looking for the front. Tucker tire on Ebay, $83 each with the tube, plus $22 shipping.

[@brendanchenelle6936]

Well done!

[@rickyjessome4359]

Beautiful little machine

[@Ellenslife851]

Someday I’ll have a early Model ridematic or ride master I don’t have one yet and have always wanted either one

[@dagrote1]

Would loved to have seen a "before" picture. What an amazing project. Are you accepting interns in your shop?

[@killerkane1957]

Firestone has the correct front tires. Keep the dirt-bike tires! The ‘Stone’s price is horrifying!

[@smitlag]

nice work sir

[@thestuffz]

[@rustyrepairs2565]

Tarryl fixes all sent me.

[@qzorn4440]

[@braydensymonds8907]

Cool

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

I'm curious what a home built scooter with that engine on it would have looked like.

[@AGROHUTA82]
