This is a Huski made by Bolens.
It's a walk behind garden tractor.
There is a Briggs and Stratton Model "B"
motor on it. There's no tag on the motor so I can't
find the exact date. Briggs and Stratton made
this type of motor from 1934 to 1948.

I have it disassembled so it would be easier
to work on. Figured I'd better get a "before" picture
before I get to far into it.

After a little work I got it to run. I cleaned up the magnets and the
points. Set the points, cleaned up the carb and got the float unstuck.
Changed the oil. Rigged up a gas tank. After pulling on it for 15 minutes
I figured out I needed to put my hand over the carbeurator intake to give
it a good shot of gas. It starts great and runs good.

Below is where the motor getss mounted to. It's chain driven.

Below are pictures after we got it running and put back together.

We sold it on Ebay and it's now gone. Another fun project though!
