Welcome to Bolens Fanatic 87 's channel, formally NASCAR3244888. On this channel you will see videos of mainly old garden tractors and old small engine equipment, however on occasion you will also see engine swaps as well as some how to's on tune ups and general maintenance on newer equipment. I originally created my old NASCAR3244888 channel to show my hobby that consists of collecting and restoring Bolens lawn and garden equipment back in 2008. After having to delete my old channel due to hacking, I created this channel to continue to show my collecting and restoring of these neat older machines. Unfortunately most of my videos on my old channel were lost, so I will be starting from scratch. I would like to welcome you once again to Bolens Fanatic 87 and I hope you enjoy watching my videos and if you also are into the same hobby, I ask that you subscribe and comment as we can learn lots from one another!!

1988 Ford Escort debute and cold start
Переглядів 2624 роки тому
Not a collectable by any means, but these cars have a special place in my heart because my family owned one while I was growing up. Found this local and it was owned by a teacher of mine from high school. Going to be repaired and make road legal again after a little TLC

A Snapper push mower that is unique
Love it but you need a bigger battery 😊
How the hell…Also dont straighten bent pushrods. Its going to cause more issues than just replacing them.
Not much room to work on it sittin pretty high!,
4hp max
I learned to mow lawns with a very similar 2 stroke Clinton mower. It was about 55 years ago. Very strange feeling to see this.
I had one many years ago. Now my brother has had one for many years.
Can’t figure out what pto belt I need for mine it’s a eliminator 1600 model 1669
Did you ever tried to put a bench seat in the rear ?
He got some sugar in his tank....oh there my puppy in their.....😆!
I had the 81 first year with world or global emblem on the sides of the car ya no ac but my escort had the tri angle pop open windows and it would direct air onto you and it also came equipped with a large removable sun roof. Great little car!
Yeah.
Holy crap, did you trade in/sell this truck in June of 2023? I think I just bought it from Scott Schaeffer in Birdsboro. EDIT: i I just saw the door sticker at 10:27 - same truck!! Its immaculate.
Hello, looking for some info, maybe you can help. I have what i think is a 1969 Bolens 1250 large frame. Would a bad magneto cause it to have no spark because is turns but does not start. I have replaced ignition coil, spark plug, starter solenoid, and points. Any info you can give would be appriciated. Thanks
A newer rear steer Bolens is a Villa. I finally found one two years ago for $200. Seller said it ran but I’ve been very busy and I use my Toro 522xi.
are you interested in selling it?
My son had a Bolen’s with the Johnson Forklift attachment. Just sold it and it is going to be shipped to Utah from Wisconsin. Very cool the old school stuff….
Do u still have any parts?
We had an 82 Lynx, 85 Escort, 86 Lynx, 89 Escort, 93 Escort, and 02 ZX2
I found a nice little 85 Lynx for $5k I’m thinking about recently. Any advice?
Believe it or not thess 80's and early 90's "economy" cars like the Escorts, Chevy Celebrity and the Chrysler K cars are becoming popular with the teens and young 20 somethings out here in the West/Southwest as a cheap/budget JDM style builds, Especially the 2 doors and Wagons. I live in Triangle (Northwest Arizona/Southern Nevada/Southeast California) and there are A LOT of them running around out here. My next door neighbor's 15 year old son is building a 84 Escort wagon, his best friend has a 80 Dodge Aries 2 door that is all built out, one of the young 20 something's I work with is building a 85 Celebrity wagon and they are spending almost nothing on them, They aren't my kind of car but that's hot rodding at it's finest, The $500 Nova of my Generation as become the $800 Escort of this generation.
No wonder it won't turn guy your tires are flat as hell idk why you would try running it like that your gonna fight the steering all day
I wished they made reproductions of these there so cool
My first car was a hand-me-down 84 Escort from my parents, thanks for the trips down memory lane. I never worked on it, but it was cool to see the old dash again!
for some reason my rangers cold start knob doesn't work do you know how to fix it
Nice little simple car from a different time!
The light on my 1900 stays on for a while but goes off after a bit of mowing at high revs. Like you I verified it is charging with a meter.
I have sold that model Snapper mower when it was new, I still see those model Snapper models in service. We have been a Snapper dealer since 1958 one of the oldest in the Gulf South area.
Can I ask where you live Sir ??? Just maybe we are neighbors
I have A mower just like this except mine is red with A 4 cycle 3hp Briggs and Stratton engine on it
What did you pay for the beast and year bought Fella ??? What 4 wheel drive bolens Iseki tractor was the best made and years ??? Thanks
I can tell you that the S series engines made by Wisconsin were cheapened engines to compete with Kohler engines for the garden tractor market. This is what was told to me by a few Bolens know it alls. The cylinder jugs are attached to the crankcase with fasteners. Wisconsin engines are know for mouse nest inside the air shroud and cooking the engine and sometimes locking the piston. Where are you located in PA fella ??
i have the same one except mine has an ac compressor and ac
NOW THATS ONE MEAN MACHINE!!!
How much did you get for it
Just got one it almost looks this one but it has power steering and fuel injection what the speed lock switch
I want to find that exhaust system what is it called?
I had the same swap ,I made a tank to go under the seat and machined a new pulley so that I had both belts kept the original muffler and all
4:14 have you done anything yet?
greetings, do you know why my Bolens 1055 consumes a lot of gasoline
Google it you should be able to find out how to check the status and there is a voltage regulator externally on it should be mounted on the engine
Replace the connecting rods too! Weak link inn a Kohler engine
i got the same problem with mine rn
All you can hear is that generator or whatever it is in the background.
cannot beat the old snappers with the reliable briggs engine on it.👍👍
got a 1987 for free, never had a Snapper before, 3.5 hp, starts up runs good, did NOT NEED a carb cleaning, the old B & S engines are grate !!
I'm onboard with the signs.
Hello. I have a bolens 3214H st140. The holes for the mower deck mount are wopped out after 1400 hrs. Do you know how I would go about finding replacement mounts? Have you seen this problem with either of your GardenWay built Troy Bilts? Thanks for any input.
I would fill the holes with a welder and redrill
Super jealous😑
Your grandkids grandkids grandkids will be mowing with that. What a TANK. Don't make them like that anymore.
Very nice!
I knew you were from PA. I could tell by the accent!
