Bolens G14XL Garden Tractor
The Bolens G14XL is a garden tractor produced between 1979 and 1980. Designed primarily for residential property maintenance and light landscaping, this machine falls into the classic garden tractor category of its era.
Engine and Powerplant
The tractor is powered by a Tecumseh OH140 single-cylinder, air-cooled gasoline engine. It features a displacement of 388 cc (23.7 ci) and produces a gross power output of 14 hp (10.4 kW) at a rated speed of 3600 RPM. The engine utilizes an electric starter powered by a 12-volt electrical system.

Power Take-Off and Hydraulics
This model is equipped with an independent front power take-off (PTO). The PTO engagement is managed via an electric clutch, operating at a pulley speed of 3600 RPM, which allows for the efficient operation of front-mounted attachments.
Equipment and Hitching
The tractor features a sleeve hitch at the rear for implement attachment. It is factory-fitted with turf-style tires, measuring 16x6.50-8 on the front and 23x10.50-12 on the rear. An optional vinyl soft-side cab was available from the manufacturer to provide basic operator protection.
