1968 Bolens 1050 - New to Forum

Hi all - just purchased my first antique tractor and will do my best to restore this one to as original as I can. It's a 1968 Bolens 1050 Husky with mower deck and snow thrower attachment. I'm in need of a good parts source for several items and some expertise/info from anyone out there that's been there - done that on an old tube frame Bolens.

Critical parts needed now to get me going for winter snow up here in New England include:

Wiring Harness
Seat Pad (have bare metal pan now)
Choke cable (buy a cut to fit one?)
Battery (looks like I need to buy a car battery but not sure)
Tires (have wheel weights and chains so may be good for now)

Ultimately I'd like to paint it original and get some replacement decals if possible. Hope someone has some ideas and can point me in the right direction...I have old cars that I work on (60 MGA and 67 SIIA Land Rover) but never had a tractor like this one!

Thanks in advance
Mike
 
I'd recommend this fella for replacement choke and throttle cables.

These two fellas can also help with parts. Both have a pretty large inventory of used an NOS parts.

All three are great guys and a pleasure to do business with.

They are also all members over at the GardenTractorTalk forums, which would be your best source for any help/info you might need with your 1050.
