Antique Bolens Estate Keeper Articulated Lawn Tractor - $450 - (Mount Vision, NY)

Bolens Estate Keeper articulated lawn tractor, the tractor that Arnold Palmer rode in company advertisements. Tractor has 3 speeds forward with high and low range with belt change. Thirty eight inch mower front mounted with three blades. Seven horsepower electric start Wisconsin engine. I have used this tractor for two years to cut grass in my yard that has a number of obstacles. It is almost as maneuverable as a zero-turn without scuffing your lawn. Tractor is in good shape for its age and is operational. I have replaced the belts and the motor bearings that were worn out were replaced. The blades were new when I purchased the tractor. It does have a few issues/notables. The tires have some weather checking around the tread. One tire has a slow leak usually going low in about two weeks. The back hood has cracks on the corners. The hood is aluminum which explains the cracking. The engine starts and runs well. There are times when it will smoke. Sometimes it will smoke at idle. Most of the time there is no smoke at all. The seat could use recovering. Mower gearbox is noisy. I have used replacement gears that should help quiet it when installed. Just want to be up front here. The tractor is also for sale locally and is subject to being removed here.
