There were two versions, the earlier machines (red hood stripes) had a two cylinder, the later machines (green hood stripes) had a three cylinder. Tractors were made by Iseki in Japan. When Bolens went bankrupt, and was bought out by GardenWay (who sucked the rest of the money out, then sold it to MTD) the diesels were not brought in under the Bolens name anymore. I worked as a parts manager for a dealer that had sold Bolens since the early 1960's, and bought a G152/1502 new when the were closing out late 80's. Some parts are not terrible to find, but some like front wheel drive axle parts are salvage only. They are indirect injection with pre chambers and have to be glow plugged even if it is 90 degrees out. If it doesn't start well, walk away. They are not so rare that you can't find a good one. The PTO horsepower isn't 15 like the model number suggests, but only 13. There was also towards the end a hydrostatic version called the 1502H, and if you are just going to use it for mowing that is what I'd try to find. Very economical on fuel, We'd run a 52' New Idea elevator filling corn cribs and not burn 2 gallons in a day. Sold it a few years ago, but still have the 48" cut brush hog we used to cut trails with, it handled it OK except in very tall Reed Canary 3+ ft tall.

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
