1992 Bolens GT2000 - Part 4 (Project update)
Today we provide an update on the Bolens GT2000 project. The exams I am doing at the moment meant that I had to hand this project over to the cameraman to progress while I was studying and it turned into significantly more work than we expected. The project is now complete and today we talk about all the work that was done and take the tractor for a test drive.

Strumpshaw Steam Engine Rally - May 2024
Просмотров 15821 день назад
Today I took a day off from my studies and we went to the Strumpshaw steam engine rally. It was a wet day which restricted the activities but it was still a fun day out. Last year the weather was very hot and dry for the event. I am pleased we took the Land Rover as the car park was a mud bath.

That engine sounds sweet! Totally unlike my experiences with the larger Kohlers in wheelhorses! You have a good one there! Phil
Thanks 👍 This is unusal for a Wheelhorse in that it has a Tecumseh HH100 10hp engine which has electronic ignition, very advanced for the 1960's. We have the same engine in a number of our Bolens. Take care
Blast from the past! Nice!
Thanks, it turned out great. Take care
5:30 I had that some red and white Honda motorcycle when I was a kid 😂 thanks for sharing the rally that old steam equipment is great
Very cool! It was a good event. Take care
Good job on the tractor! Great video. Enjoy watching. Have a nice day
Thanks 👍 It was great to get the tractor back running. Take care
Really runs well for a cold start. I don't like lightening!! I hide under the bed with the cats when it does that haha Have a great weekend!
Thanks. It does seem to run a lot better than we expected. "I hide under the bed with the cats when it does that" LOL, very funny. Take care and I hope you have a great weekend too
Wow yes quite the list of items completed Joseph! Nice to be able to see it out and about! Great work you two! Cheers, Mike.
Thanks 👍 Yes, the list of jobs just kept growing and at one point it did seem endless. It was great to get it finished. Take care
Wow, she runs like my 17 jewel Elgin! Good job, Dad!!!! (and good job Joseph for keeping dad 'lined out' throughout the project!)
Thanks. I am sure he would not have been able to do it without my support :-) Take care
Great to see you Joseph ! Looks like Dad got it very well sorted 👍
Thanks 👍I think he did a great job and it seems to run very well. Take care
The tractor is operating like a Champ , job well done 👌😁👍
Thanks 👍 We are very pleased with how it turned out, it seems to run much better than we expected. Take care
Your Dad has been very busy....as have you (Hope your exams are going well). That Bolens GT2000 rips! Great work!!
Thanks. You are right, we have both been very busy. The tractor turned out well and I hope the exams will too. It is a cool machine. Take care
Turned out great. That thing sounds really good too. I assume it's a twin? Best of luck on your ongoing exams.
Thanks, we were pleased with how it turned out. You are right it is a Kohler twin. The exams a going well so far, thanks. Take care
Hey Joseph. You guys do nice work. The machine runs well. The HD is wide and high, things huge.
Thank you for the kind words, we were pleased with how it turned out but it was a lot of work. Take care
Joseph Great video cheers mate
Thanks. We were pleased with how this turned out. Take care
The cameraman did a fine job without your guidance! The tractor runs well!
Thanks It would have been great to work on it together but the timing was not good. I did keep checking to make sure the cameraman was doing the right thing :-) Take care
@@GardenTractorBoy Yes, the project turned out excellently! And your sense of humor never fails to produce a hearty belly laugh, Joseph!!!! Good job!
Works very nice Joseph. You and dad did a great job on it. It was quite a basket case when you first got it. I’m sure the owner will be quite happy with it. No more floods hopefully. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋 Have a great week fellas.
Thanks. It does feel like a big transformation and we did not expect it to turn out this well. It would be good if he keeps it away from flood water. Take care
You're Dad did a great job on the tractor Joseph. Your friend will be pleased with the results. Take care my friend 🔧👍
Thank you and I hope he is pleased with it. It does run very well now. Take care
Hi Joseph, nothing wrong with a bit time from school work, your dad has done a great job on that bolens,and it runs really well 👍
Thanks. I wish I could have helped him with the tractor but the timing did not work out. Take care
Great little tractor, it sounds good
Thanks. It does sound and run well. Take care
Sounds like it running perfectly. Nice job!
Thanks. We were surprised how well it does now run. Take care
Nice. ---Doozer
Thanks. It was a lot of work but turned out well. Take care
You and the camera man are doing a grand job fixing up these tractors.
Thank you very much, we were pleased with how this turned out. Take care
Superb work. That tractor works like a champ. The workmanship as usual is top notch…..CHEERS
Thank you for the kind words 👍 We are very pleased with how it turned out. Take care
She fired right up!.It seems to run like a top! Wish we could have some of that 🌧️☔ here😞
It does seem to run very well. We are very pleased with the way it turned out. I think we are about to get a week without rain, that will be a first for a very long time. Take care
That GT2000 is the absolute Cadillac (Bentley for you chaps) of Garden Tractors. Hope school testing went well
It was interesting to use the tractor and compare it to an HT23. I think it is more of a Rolls Royce now that Bentley is owned by the Volkswagen Group :-) The school exams are going well, thanks. Take care
@@GardenTractorBoy And Ford now owns Jaguar, smh
@@GardenTractorBoy Wow, I didn't realize VW bought out Bentley.. And I thought Tata Motors of China acquired Jag from Ford. I've always loved Jags. Beautiful machines!
@@santaclause2875 I believe you are right in that Tata bought out Jaguar Land Rover but I think Tata is a Indian company. Dad loves Jags too, before he retired he had the choice of a Jag, BMW or Mercedes for work trips and where possible always went for the Jags. Great looking cars and great to drive too
Good to see the newest video and that you got the GT2000 running and useable - sounds like it now starts and runs great with the tender loving care you gentlemen gave it.
Thanks 👍 We were surprised how well it did turn out considering all the issues we found. It was good to get it finished, it was a big project for us. Take care
Hey Joseph , she sounds and runs great . Nice job . 👍🏻🚜
Thanks 👍It was a lot of work but we are pleased with how it turned out. Take care
Had to remove the engine for starter work, that sounds like a pain. My Craftsman Pro id a hydro also, and definitely has more speed than my geared ones. Take care.
Yes, that is not help. What is more unhelpful is we now need to do the same on one of our tractors too. I do like the hydros for everything except ground engaging attachments, then gear tractors seem to work better. Take care
that tractor really scat's , it's unhandy to work on mowers with the engines in backwards, I had a Cub Cadet like that, and somethings would be an easy fix if the engine was in facing forward but not so much with it in backwards.
Thanks. I agree, it can be a pain when the engine is backwards. Our large frame Bolens are the same. Take care
I think he’ll be pleased! Quite the transformation from the water damage it started with 👍
It did turn out a lot better than we expected but it was also a lot more work than we thought too. Take care
Nice job on it, runs and sounds great. So i missed if your done with it
Thanks 👍It turned our much better than we expected but it is good to have the workshop space back again. Take care
Rain or shine, you'd have to drag me out of there! great stuff. I love all this old equipment. The large flywheel and crank reminds me of the triple-expansion steam engine on H.M.C.S. Sackville, a Canadian Flower Class corvette, that is now a permanent memorial in Halifax, NS. When they were restoring her in the 80s, I was in the Navy and was assigned to supervise work crews who chipped paint and helped restore the engine spaces. Very cool tour of this show! Thanks
I agree, this old equipment is great and it is fantastic to see and hear them running. It would have been better if the sun was out but it was still a great day. Take care
Wow I enjoyed watching thanks
Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed it, it was a good show despite the weather. Take care
The bolted together one looks like a Peter wright vice. They were made of wrought iron like the blacksmiths leg vices.
Thank you for the great information. Take care
Nice work. Great ploughing. 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍 It is good going to shows that have a working area. Take care
Good stuff, Joseph!!! Love all your videos!
I appreciate that, thank you very much. Take care
For a vintage tractor, that design looks very modernistic. Not like an old Fergie. If that's your dad driving Joseph? Your the spitting image of him. Cheers Tony
They are an interesting design. I was driving the gold Ride-a-matic and I think it was a friend Harry driving the other tractor. Dad was operating the camera. Take care
It was nice to see the show bud.
Thanks. It was a good show but a shame about the weather. Take care
Well presented, thank you for a great video.
Thank you very much, I hope you found it useful. Take care
Great video, very useful, thanks very much! Subscribed too 👍🏼
Thanks for the sub and I am pleased that you found the video useful. Take care
Awesome to see all the tractors , cars and trucks. The steam tractors are always a treat to see operate. Thanks and have a great week
Thanks 👍We alway enjoy seeing the steam engines too. This is a show we enjoy going to and it was a shame about the weather. Take care and I hope you have a great week too
Lots of great equipment and machinery! Bummer about the rain but it still looked like folks were enjoying seeing all of it. Thanks for sharing Joseph and hope your test are going well!
Thanks 👍It is a show we enjoy going to so we made the most of it despite the weather however it was a lot better last year when the sun was out. I am just over half way through the exams and they are going well so far, thanks for asking. Take care
That's always a nice show Joseph. Too bad it rained but you had a day out. Thanks for the video my friend 🔧👍
Thanks 👍It is a show we really enjoy going to and it was a shame about the rain. Take care
That looked like a fantastic show!! Lots of variety. Too bad about the weather. The steam engines are awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. The show was good despite the weather but it did restrict the activities. Take care
Wow what a versatile display of machines. Very cool Joseph.
Thanks. It is a fantastic event and we enjoy going every year. The thing we really like about the event is the variety. Last year the weather was fantastic. Take care
Great turnout, enjoyed your walk around, each one somebody's pride and joy. Lots of hard work behind the scenes. Pity about the weather. Cheers Tony
Thanks. I agree, lots of very well looked after machines and lots of work to clean them up after this event. Take care
Thanks for bringing us along again. It is a great rally!
Thanks, it was a great event despite the weather. Take care
A great show, no matter the weather! So many awesome machines, cars, trucks, tractors, military vehicles, steamers. Love them all, thanks for sharing with us, Joseph! Cheers.
Thanks. I agree, lots of great equipment and it is always good to see them being used. Take care
No stationary engines 😞
Lots of stationary engines but it is our fault that they were not on the video, sorry. We bumped into someone we know at the stationary engines and we forgot to film while we were catching up with him. We will do better at the next show, take care
Hey Joseph. The show was great to see. Too bad the rain put a damper on things, but the show was still interesting. Lots of history in that field.
Thanks. It is great to see all this old equipment being used but a shame about the rain. Take care
Good Evening Joseph 😇👌👍Really Nice Steam Tractor and Army and civilian trucks 👍👍😇I realy like the Rovers and Willis too 😇👍👌💖Old motorbikes too 😇 Cars are very nice 😇👍🚧🚧 I'm truly in love with The Black Open Car At 6:30💖💖👍😇👌🚧🚧 Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING School Work Cheers 👌😇👍🍻
Thanks. I agree, it is a very cool car. I believe it is an old MG. Take care
