Q: I have a Model 2136/Serial No.0400196 Bolens rear engine 12 h.p. riding mower that needs a PTO cable.     Where would this be available? 

3 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hey Sonasue, Thanks for the question. Unfortunately we do not carry Bolen brand products, so I couldn't tell you exactly what EOM PTO cable you would need. However, this MTD brand (In 2001, MTD acquired Garden Way including the Troy-Bilt and Bolens brands) does list being compatible with Bolen. I would contact MTD directly or review your products manual. Their contact number is listed below- CALL 1-800-269-6215 Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm EST
