@@MachineryNation I live in the states, if I didn't I would definetly come check out your Bolens and shop. I wish my local shop was as cool as yours.

[@MachineryNation]

@@cub1009 Yeah that is such a shame! You'll have to show your local shop our videos and encourage them to do the same!

Absolutely stunning!

Thank you 😎

[@deanvance1591]

I love the restoration of the bowling's 1963.

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you, do you have any ideas for what we should restore next?!

[@deanvance1591]

How about a 1970 Montgomery Ward's 14 Gilson riding lawn mower. Whether 1970 Briggs and Stratton cast iron engine 14 horsepower. I Am restoring one. Finding it hard to find engine parts. I need all gaskets and seals.

[@MachineryNation]

@@deanvance1591 Yes, this could be an option! How far along are you with the resto?

[@alexandermcquiggin4414]

Nice video

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you, glad you liked it.

[@ydyt8034]

[@boneyardgaragesmallenginer188]

Nice video I am working on a 1963 Bolens the video will be out soon

[@MachineryNation]

Nice! We'll be looking out for it!

[@stump1897]

When Bolens shut down my Grandpa did the ceremonial locking the door. He was there for 50 plus yeats.

[@MachineryNation]

Oh my, that must of been a sad day. Thank you for sharing.

[@concorde2003]

You got your tires all dirty, man.

[@coachbrandon01]

There are two options, or parts, that will keep your belt from falling off. One is a stud with a round end bolted to the engine. The second is a belt guard that bolts around the upper drive pulley. The belt is the weak spot in the drivetrain, so be sure to stay in low gears when pushing or pulling or the belt will get shredded.

[@jameshayes6885]

Yeah the belt came off due to me going into the pile in third gear rather than first. The reason the belt sticks is due to the pulleys being powered coated, mistakes made 😂

[@librarymark]

Nice job! Was anything done to address the leak in the front of the gearbox? Or was that not an issue?

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you! Yeah it turns out it wasn't an issue in the end.

[@Hukon]

Followed your advice and I did restore also a Bolens, a bit different model, a Husky 775.

[@MachineryNation]

Nice man! Great work 👍🏼

[@Hukon]

Wasn’t planning to film it but have made a video of it with mostly pictures and partly video. Would appreciate your opinion of course.

[@MachineryNation]

@@Hukon just watched the whole video, very impressed. Pat yourself on the back sir 👍🏼

[@MichaelDaglish-i1y]

A very high quality and thoughtful restoration. Loved it. I know its a personal thing, but your background music sucks. Mike D.

[@MachineryNation]

Yeah music is difficult 😂

[@bodeine454]

Love the restoration however, the heavy exhaust pipes look like an accident waiting to happen in my eyes. I think I would try to find a way to either find or fabricate a bracket that would look good and blend in which bolts somewhere close the exhaust outlet and helps take some of the load off of the exhaust port threads. Also, not just the weight of the exhaust pipe alone but if you were to hit a low hanging branch or catch the exhaust pipe on something it could possibly crack the block where the pipe threads in. Just a thought 👍

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you Jeff. We have since installed the locking nut to the exhaust elbow so it’s nice and secure now. If it hits a tree the worse case scenario would be it will loosen as the threads are counter clockwise. We really appreciate your advice as a bracket would of achieve the same 👍🏼

[@brycetibbs]

what size rear tires are those ?

[@mdcmc-vd4nv]

id like to know to

[@adelarsen9776]

What can you do with this machine other than push crates ? No PTO. Hmm.

[@MrSticks9999]

How about an early 60s Wheel Horse?

[@GHOSTRACING-b5j]

How much did you spend I have one

[@MachineryNation]

Too much 😳

[@jamesfeussner3606]

bolens may have offered in 1963 a forklift atachement

[@MachineryNation]

Now that would be useful 👍🏼

[@jcgjcg3844]

I have a felling that since he did this restoration his wife had been waking up in the middle of the night. And yelling at him honey I told you precious is not allowed in the bedroom and why am I always waking up to you sitting on precious? It's the middle of the night and your making vroom vroom sounds.

[@justinbrown5206]

Do you know what size the belts are for this mower. Just had one given to me and can't seem to find much info on it tia

[@MachineryNation]

I do but it will depend on which engine you have fitted as this is a replacement 👍🏼
