Thanks for the posting. It's interesting to think that the machine was made solidly enough in the first place so that, 52 years old, it can be got going without too many big rebuild or replacement jobs. By comparison, my 1997 10.5hp ride-on is tinny, and apart from the B&S engine which seems bullet-proof, the rest is a fight against corrosion and electrical faults. You Bolens with a grass cutting attachment would be brilliant. That engine must make gobs of torque!
does anyone no what one of these are worth i have one and need to sell it its in very good condition from what i have seen from these videos write me a message if any info thank you
well thats kind of familiar. i had one of those it was a 1961. actually i had that tiller as well. i remember the gear box with the long driveshaft going to the tiller. it was a good machine. simple simple. for the size of the machine it would do some serous work. i had to part ways after the garage collapsed and destroyed it. that was after i rebuilt the engine, tough luck. it was a good tractor. i also had the "sno-caster", mower, and single bottom plow. i also used to mow my lawn with it
@dutchlawnmowerman Yes, the tiller is original equipment for the '59 RaM. I think I'm missing one outside tine in the extention kit though. Otherwise the tiller is in original, as found condition. If I am recalling correctly, this is the only model year that particular model of tiller fits due to design changes.
Great machine! I haven't seen a working tiller on a Ride a Matic... thanks for showing the mule drive and clutch, I was wondering how it all came together
