Sweden member (close to Arlanda airport Stockholm), owner of this special? Bolens.
The frame is 76 mm longer than original in front, the hood is 145 mm longer in rear end, and it looks factory built. Engine is missing, but the rest looks almost complete.
Decal says:
Model no 1981 0 Serial no 10
It is almost impossible to read "1981", but 0 and 10 is very clear
Have no technical or other info about this "thing". but expecting from you...
Price with/without engine - ???

Your Bolens sounds like one neat machine. I'm personally not educated on them enough to know if the extended parts are factory or not, but somebody here should be comming along and know for sure.
Sorry but I don't know enough about them neither to guess why it's dimensions are different from the standard or what a good price would be for one now.
In reality, as you can see, it looks original factory-built. So now you Bolens-freak - tell me what this is, and how many they made? (As above - serial no 10.) ??? Value today? Anybody interested?
Feeling honored of "Junior member". A short time ago, I didn´t have it, but now The Beatle´s - "When I´m 64" is my lead melody.
Because both the painting and decals looks factory original (not repainted), and overall looks like a notsogoodtakencareofmachine from manufacturing date, I think I,m wright.
Can anybody show this thread to the man (people), who worked at the factory at that time? Might be some memorys or papers to dig up.

Mark, that is a neat article from 1969 .. in all my years buying and selling and reading about them, I've NEVER seen that before .. Hope you dont mind, but I have to share that with the Bolens guys at MTF
