1886 Bolens Husky

Stormin · Mar 8, 2012

Hello everybody, I have a chance to purchase a 1886 Bolens Husky Hydrostatic,it has a tiller attachment, and the mower deck. I am wondering how much I should offer for it.With alittle work it should be a good runner.I don"t know what year this model is. I offered him $500 and refused.Any thoughts on the price would be helpful.

Ask him what he wants and if it sounds too high offer him a little less. If he won't take less
and you think its too high I would walk away. Hal

Early to mid 70s tractor. Not many 1886 tractors made. If in good shape, it would easily bring $800- $1000 in my area. Very solid tractor and that Bolens tiller is one of the most rugged garden-tractor tillers I've ever seen. The older 10-14 horse tube-frame Bolens still bring $500-$700 with no tiller. I was looking for a parts tractor for near a year (with 6 speed gear trans) and couldn't find any for less then $500.

Just before Christmas, I bought a '71 1886-01 with a pretty crude homemade FEL on it for 800.00. That was a VERY good deal.

After I got it home I found a tiller for it which cost me $250.00 which again was a pretty good deal.

I'd say that if it's running and in decent mechanical shape, an 1886 with deck and tiller would easily be worth $800.00-900.00.

The 1886 was made from '71-73. The 1883-01 was produced in '71 and the -02, -03 and -04 in '72. Also in '72 the 1886S-05 was produced but was called the HT-18. Then in '73 the 1886S-06 was produced.

Ya gotta remember...the 1886/HT-18 can do just about anything that today's $14K SCUTs can.
