Bolens question

[roma3112]

hi all While searching for a new sovereign i ran across a dealer that had a used bolens G174 I was wondering if anybody here knows anything about this model as far as what it is built like how old a "g174" may be . the dealer is like 2hours away so i just wanted to know what this thing may be like . thanks john

John, The G174 was I belive a 2WD Iseki diesel made for Bolens in the 80's and maybe early 90's. Here is a few pictures of it on Sonny's site. http://sonnys_bolens.tripod.com/used.htm I know this stuff because I was a Bolens nut before I was converted over to a Simplicity nut. Guess that makes me a Simplenut. HA HA John

Am restoring a Bolens 1453 at the present time, ( my first one) must say am very impressed the way they are built, but I still am an AC man. Floyd
