Bolens Garder Tractor Equipped With Weed Eater TRACTORS Modifications 26-5-35 For years I've used a 1978 Bolens garden tractor, equipped with a 42-in. deck, to mow my 3 1/2-acre lawn. Later I would go back with a Weed Eater to trim around the mailbox, trees and posts. However, I often didn't have time to do the trimming work.
I had an old handheld rechargeable electric trimmer with a dead battery. I wanted to use the trimmer on the tractor, but I couldn't run it directly off the tractor's 12-volt battery or I'd burn out the trimmer's motor. To reduce the voltage, I salvaged an automotive resister block out of a 1958 Chevrolet truck and mounted it on the tractor's steering column. I attached the trimmer to a flexible extension cord, which allows me to use the trimmer up to 6 ft. away from the tractor. I can use the trimmer while seated on the tractor or in a standing position. When I'm done using the trimmer I hang it up on a bolt that I attached to the steering column. (Robert Roerig, 51351 St. Rt. 162 E., New London, Ohio 44851 ph 440 647-3278)
