The Bolens 13073 is a garden tractor manufactured by Noma and distributed by Bolens, introduced in 1995. This machine is designed primarily for residential lawn maintenance and property management tasks.

Engine and Powertrain

The tractor is powered by a single-cylinder, air-cooled Briggs & Stratton 286707 gasoline engine. With a displacement of 465 cc (28.4 ci), the engine produces 12.5 hp (9.3 kW).

The unit is equipped with an independent mid-PTO, controlled via a manual clutch. This configuration is standard for this class of garden tractor, designed to power the included 40-inch mower deck.

Electrical System

The tractor features a 12-volt electrical system with a negative ground. Starting is facilitated by an electric starter, also operating on a 12-volt circuit, ensuring consistent ignition for the gasoline engine.

Conclusion
