this 1962 bolens 600 is great! 150 bucks, runs awesome, it all works. came with the tire chains and the wheel weights! the tire chains are from a corvair the dude told me… he had it since 70. and always maintained the thing, and adjusted the valves and all. 6 HP briggs and straton engine. pullstart luckily!

Well, with the bolens, My favorite ones are all 8.25-12hp, so its mostly just how it works out. I really like the wisconsin engines, and these didn’t have any bigger wisconsin’s in them. The tecumseh’s they used in some of the newer tube frame bolens, like 14 -16 hp were junk, and smoke like crazy, and run like crap, so i pretty much don’t worry about them. Though i do like extra power, for sure 
we could us it alot sometimes. But we still have fun with what we got.

I was seriously supprised how powerfull that bolens is with an old 6 HP on it. and it revs crazy high so the things kinda fast too. keeps up with the big puppys these bolens 600′s are the only bolens tube frames that are a different length. they actually are a few inches shorter. makes wheelies easier, and more dangerous. and turning sharper Yeah chains kick ass. I don’t trust the people who come here though to not get killed or really hurt with them, so i try not to use them.

i’ve possibly got a sears custom, had a 10 HP tecumseh on it, also got a ’69? sears suburban 15, and my friend drew keeps his 70′s sears GT 19.9 hp here. they are all the same design, probably just like the 62. same frame, front end, transmission. just different years, engines, and hoods. they are cool machines. don’t have real clutches or posi locking rears like most of the bolens though.
