It's a Bolens G1453, S/N 0302163. Anyone out there know the model year of this tractor?

Looks a lot like my 2 850s. Tiller looks similar to mine. I also have 2 mower decks. The hitch looks something like the gadget I have but never did know what it was. Years of mine are 1966 and 1967. What ya gonna use it for? My 67 is for sale along with all the attachments from both tractors and some other accessories. All I'm keeping is the 66 Bolens tractor only. How does $1248 sound for the whole package?

I bought it for the rototiller (veg garden, landscape repair). I'm getting too old for tussling walk-behind rototillers. I have a Huskee riding mower to handle the lawn mowing chores.

Don't know about pricing your stuff. This is the first Bolens I've owned. I paid $600 for what you see in the photos.

1*I bought it for the rototiller (veg garden, landscape repair). I'm getting too old for tussling walk-behind rototillers.
2* This is the first Bolens I've owned.
3*Don't know about pricing your stuff.

1*I bought the tiller 41 years ago. Still works as good as it did new and has never had or needed anything done to it.
2* got the 66 Bolens new exactly 42 years ago this month.42 years is a long time to have it.
It's my very first tractor.
3*I do know it's a whole lot less than most Tractor tiller and front blade combos.
I've moved a lot of dirt by tilling first then grading it with the front blade.
2 sets of tire chains 2 mower decks and a home made weight tray with weights go in the package also along with a few other little odds and ends.

Nice set up!!
Reminds me of a Bolens Husky 1250 with the S12D Wisconsin I once had.
That should make small work of that tilling job. Price sounds about right also.
Best of luck with G1453!

1*I have the same set up plus the front blade with a Bolens 850.
2*When I bought the Bolens 850 back in 1966 they offered these 4 models .
650
850
1050
1250.
Back about when did you have the 1250?

Hi LBrown59
I purchased the 1968 1250 back in 87. Sold it a year ago to a buddy that uses it every week. I overhauled it back in 91 and now it is gonna go under the knife this winter again. It has the 54" mower deck w/hydro lift and foot control movement. I have tried many mowers in the last year to replace the 1250 and officially have replaced it with a EXmark zero turn. Having the hydro set up like the 1250 spoils you! Just have to admire the design for the time. I would still have the 1250 if it had more HP. I have a hillside for a lawn and orchard.
