Help identifying Bolens model # and B&S engine

[Jace]

Hi folks. I have been doing lawn work for an elderly neighbor of mine through the summer and I have been push mowing about an acre and a half for most the summer.. I noticed a riding mower that has been sitting for a year or two and was told it ran last time they used it.

Anyway, all i know is that its manufactured by Bolens with an 8hp Briggs and Stratton engine. I started cleaning it up, but when i took the carburetor off the choke linkage fell out of place and I didn't get to see where it connects to on the linkage side.

If anyone knows what model it is or where I can find parts diagrams I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

HI Jace


I think MTD made Bolens, do a search on Bolens and there are part .Just look all over to find a name tag there should be a name tag with all the information on it.The engine model will be on the shroud by the spark plug. Model, code ,MFG date Over all it looks pretty good from the picture.Welcome aboard to LMF hope you enjoy all of us.
