Morning,
A friend without internet has a Bolens B6A walk behind in his barn,all I have found out is a year 1949 to 56 and a manual. Think this is Bolens 2 nd biggest walk behind, does anybody collect these ? There are no attachments but looks complete,sorry no pictures.

I'm sure there are a lot of Bolens guys who will want it. It would help if you can get him to send you some photos to is condition.

I would love to have one. But I'm sure your to far away. What engine does it have on it, Wis., Briggs? 4.00 X 12 or 5.00 X 12 tires? There is alot of guys that would love to have it I'm sure.

There should be another Number after the A
Like a 4 or 5. Nothing comes up as a "B6a" on its own.
These were the "Gardener" series Bolens

I lied....
Had to dig out the early walkbehind literature 
There is a B6A that apparently was made from 1941-1946

Since the only differences that I know of between the B6A4, B6A5, B6A5S, and B6A20 were the wheels & tires, I'm wondering if only B6A is stamped into the nameplate?
Perhaps some owners of Gardeners can tell us what is stamped in their nameplates.

The engine was Wisconsin ABN 2.5 x 2.75 the full numbers were Type B6A5501 Serial G-35570. Found a advert manual for Gardener,s the middle size one,Farmer the large one and Power Ho the smallest. All chain drive and clutch steering,some one said the clutches were wood cones ! Too bad no attachments. Cheers and Thanks Mike About 1949 to 1956
