I have been thrilled with my bolens g274 TLB and recently found myself wanting to exchange my garbage craftsman riding mower for something by bolens. I am aware that anything built in the last two decades is junk, but how much further do I need to go back before they turned to garbage? I would...

I have the option to buy a 1668 hydro in non-running condition. The guy said all it needs is a starter motor gear, clean gas, and pump a tire up. Been sitting for 3 years and looks pretty rough. He wants $350. I don’t know exactly how I can confirm that’s all it needs, but if that’s the case...

First time I tried to start up my old bolens g274 tractor from the mid 80’s this winter. Temps were below freezing for more than 24 hours beforehand. Around 20-25°f when I tried yesterday. She started just fine, as well as she ever does, but there was immediately a high pitch noise. Went to...

Got this old backhoe last year for pennies. First thing I did was new filter and fresh transdraulic fluid. Probably put on 20 hours last year and an hour this week. Today I just needed to dig a small hole to plant a tree. I was able to finish the hole, pack it up and put the tractor back in its...

good morning all. I’ve found myself using my tractor pretty often but only for very short periods of time. It got me thinking that maybe it could be causing some sort of harm but I don’t really know. I’m basically using it to turn a compost pile. Lazy or not, my back isn’t what it used to be. Is...

I have a TLB and sometimes it goes many months without use. I used to wipe some grease on the cylinder rods if I knew it would be in storage for a while. Today I didn’t have any tube grease that I usually use so I sprayed on some white lithium grease. It occurred to me after the fact that it...

I went to change the fluid in my “new to me” tractor. The manual says the transmission holds 34.5 liters, about 9.5 gallons. I put in 10 gallons of transmission/hydraulic fluid and it doesn’t even register on the dipstick. I ran around in a panic thinking I must’ve had the filter off or...

I have an older tractor with a loader. Bolens g274 to be specific. I went to do a fluid change. Manual says 34.5 liters. I put in a whole 10 gallons (37.8 liters) and it still doesn’t register on the dip stick. What am I missing? I checked for leaks and it all looks good.

I have a bolens G274 with some pretty rusted out rims. Especially the part where the valve stem is. I can poke the inner tube with my finger. Does anyone have a place I can find replacement rims? The tires currently on there are 355/80D20. They are a bit dry rotted but still look useable, but I...

I need to change the trans/hydraulic fluid in my bolens g274 (same as iseki te4270) and do not have the manual. Does anyone know where I can find the right bolts to drain it? I heard there might be two in the rear and one in the center but i would like to be more certain of the locations before...

Hey all, First time poster, long time stalker. I’m buying a bolens G274 (or 2704). From what I understand it’s the exact same machine as an iseki te4270. I emailed iseki and wouldn’t you believe it, they just sent me the manual. Beats paying $100 from some other places. But I couldn’t find a...
