To Tim Stallard-- from David A. Sohn 3/20/2000 Here is a ton of information on Bolens. Read on. From Sonny's I was able to buy a spray can of the off-white used on the 1966- year Model 1050 Garden tractor. The other writer's info is probably more specific to your need. Beyond that I would have a sample scanned and paint made accordingly. Anyway, here is a lot of info that may give you lots of general answers, attachments, parts, etc... Good YaHoo Clubs exist for sharing information and for classified ads. 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. Link Note 10 Photos by Sonny's "Bolens Tractor specs and Indentification" Identifies Models by Year Built.

You can also try Garden Way. Publication Reprints helped me a lot. When ordering parts, I also had opportunity to ask the sellers advice on conquering a particular difficulty. I was notified that Garden Way (New York Parent Company) has several phone numbers. These might help you. Parts 1-800-648-6776; Customer service 1-800-437-8686; Tech service 1-800-520-5520. This has been accomplished on my 1966-year 1050. Rebuilt engine; clutch; PTO; transaxle has new bushings; All seals throughout are replaced. I saved a great deal of money along the way by the collective assistance from club members, during the rebuild process. I guess I will paint the tractor and a mower deck when good weather returns. I have several attachments and seek more. I hope this helps you as it did me. David A. Sohn Saint Louis Missouri david.a.sohn@juno.com
