We were just given this QT-16 Bolens Model 1666-01 tractor by one of my step-son's customers. We believe it to be a 1972 or 1973 model. It has a Twin cylinder Onan BF-MS/2425 A engine and came with a number of attachments, including, cab, tire chains, snow blower, three-blade mower deck, trailer and lawn roller. The tractor and attachments are in incredibly good condition as everything was always stored indoors and only used occasionally. The original owner was getting rid of it due to a starting/running problem, which he believes is electrical. I have already removed the cab and hood, (Gads! This thing is built like a Sherman tank!!) and I did get it to start and run for a few seconds, but then it died just as he had reported it did for him. It seems from my initial investigation that the spark is strong, but intermittent and I'm not sure what would cause that, maybe the coil or condenser. I have to remove the exhaust muffler in order to access the points.
If the engine problem becomes serious, I may have to move my questions to the Onan Forum - - I guess there is one...
Here's are a few pictures for you antique Bolens lovers to drool over.
