My
MTD is a 12 HP B&S. I paid $100 for it and it was in very poor condition.
I completely stripped tractor down to last bolt. I then sand blasted,
primed and painted every part. I used Jonh Deere green and yello
because I like the colors. I had to replace the tires (dry rotted),
carburetor (was not the original) and bad steering links. The bushings
in front wheels were bad and I had to make some new ones in the machine
shop I work in. Everything else is original. Tractor runs
and operates like a new one. I am now looking for attachments so
that I can use it in my garden.

My
second addition was a 1977 8 HP B&S Wheel Horse Lawn tractor.
As you can see, it too was in bad condition, but it ran very well.
It's now restored.
