Between these following places, and this forum, I have found everything I have ever needed for my Bolens Iseki tractor. Rays mower shop, Boyertown PA (610) 367-2078 try them first and they ship parts. Swiegard Bros. Farm Equipment (this place actually has a Bolens sign on their building yet) in Halifax PA (sorry dont have there number but you can probably find them on the internet) and of course I have found numerous parts on Ebay, search Iseki or Bolens Iseki. I have heard the same as you that these tractors are hard to find parts for, but if you seek you will find them. And like the guy that sold me my tractor told me, "If you can fix things well yourself, then this Bolens Iseki tractor may be the one for you, if not, then you may want to go with a Kubota or Mahindra, something more common, as you probably wont find a "servicing" Bolens Iseki dealer around anymore." These are tough machines, im glad I bought mine.
