Under the Photographs sections at these sites, you can find Specifications pages with tractor identification guidance; mower belt installation; years of manufacture; and other helpful information, but you have to obtain membership first. Happens immediately, and is no-cost.

Does anyone out there know what year that the FMC Bolens garden tractor, model TX 1500F (G174) (model #1517), serial #0100280, may have been made? We have one out of an estate in Afton MN that we need information on in order to sell it to anyone interested. It is a diesel, comes with a Sweepster Power Sweeper, 48" Snow Thrower, push arm kit, hydrolic lift kit and cab. But may need a new starter.
