Introduction
Bolens 911 Articulated Lawn Tractor
The Bolens 911 is a compact articulated lawn tractor manufactured between 1965 and 1967. Designed primarily for residential lawn care and light property maintenance, this machine is recognized for its simple mechanical construction and front-mount mower configuration.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Tecumseh V60 gasoline engine. This air-cooled, single-cylinder unit provides 6 horsepower (4.5 kW) with a displacement of 221 cc (13.53 ci). The engine features a bore and stroke of 67 mm by 64 mm, providing sufficient power for operating the included 32-inch mower deck.
Transmission and Steering
The drivetrain utilizes a manual gear transmission offering two forward gears and two reverse gears, allowing for basic speed control. The steering system is manually articulated, which provides high maneuverability by pivoting the tractor frame, a design choice well-suited for navigating around landscaping obstacles.
Dimensions and Chassis
The Bolens 911 features a two-wheel drive system and an open operator station. Its compact footprint, characterized by a 58 cm (23 inches) wheelbase and a total width of 71 cm (28 inches), allows for operation in restricted spaces. The tractor is equipped with 12x5.6 lawn and turf tires on both the front and rear axles to minimize soil compaction, with a total shipping weight of 117 kg (260 lbs).
Conclusion
The Bolens 911 serves as a functional entry-level mower for property owners of the mid-1960s. Its articulated design and compact dimensions make it a practical tool for basic grass cutting tasks where maneuverability is prioritized over heavy-duty utility performance.
