    Are parts still readily available for your tractor?

    Local place had a pump in 2 days. If they all lasted 30 years there must be a pile of good ones somewhere.

    We have a 1985 Bolens 4x4 diesel tractor at work and it’s a great little tractor but parts are very hard to get.

    Had never heard of a Bolens, but 1985 wasn't that long ago.

    Was it?

    Bolens were quite popular around here, very well built.

    Added these 2 lights to the support for the canopy. Used the existing bolts for a slick install. Advertised as 800 foot beam for each light. I agree, they are bright, but have them tilted down slightly for nighttime snow cleanup. I still need to add a switch since I only tied them directly to the fused open accessory wires at the rear. I'll likely add a 3rd led light to the rear to replace an old existing halogen light with a 12v plug. I ended up picking these up at TSC with a 10% discount I had. They should hold up, pretty beefy!

    LEDs are a game changer when compared to the factory lights! You could host a football game now.

    Bet you would have cried like a baby if that stove had fallen off of that pallet/forks!

    Beautiful stove. Did you do the first fire outside? In the mid '70's my parents bought a mama bear stove and about a half hour from home dad built a fire in it in the bed of the pickup and we drove with it smoking!

    Nice work!


    I'm certainly eager to use them! I still have tons to do, so having these will help light up an area until the snow flies, then they'll be snow removal lights. I still need to add the switch
