[AT] Now heres an unusual tractor - Bolens Husky(?)

[Ralph Goff]

Jim, that looks a bit like my roto tiller although I am assuming that yours
has a seat and steering wheel on it. Mine is a chain drive , rear tine with
5 hp (or is it 8?) Can't recall now as its been a while since theres been
any need for rototillers here.
