Machines | Never Seen A " Heavy Duty " Garden Tractor From MTD Before.....

videos | at work | information | view | construction

1. Mtd 500 series
2. i have a friend that had one. he had no deck with it. i tried to get it running but it did not have enough compression
3. looking for universal for Farm King 990
4. to be honest you are better off jump starting the tractor directly from the starter those batteries have a nasty habit of wobbling into the drive shaft over time
5. The Agway GT-16 was the same tractor with a different label. I used to have one with Johnson 36" loader. Some of them had Bolens transaxles and others were Peerless. After going through two Peerless transaxles in three years I removed the loader and sold it for more than I paid for the tractor. I used the engine and a hydraulic pump and piston from a different loader to build a wood splitter. I have been told that the Bolens transaxles were more reliable than the Peerless but I can't confirm it.
6. I see that this video was done 4 years ago. Do you still have the MTD? I have one, but I need to either rebuild or find someplace to rebuild the hydraulic pump or pumps, it was slipping when I parked it! I have everything that was available for it except wheel weights. I have a 50" PTO mowing deck, 42" PTO tiller and a 50" push blade. Any suggestions on the pump rebuild would be appreciated.
7. My grandpa had a tractor just like that. We used it to mow around his farm and pasture. A lot of power and ran great.
8. Its an MTD 990 Farm King Tractor. Super Rare.
9. I have the same one but it's an agway
10. or can i buy a john deere of you 70 $
11. can i buy that engine on the cart i have a 1986 john deere
12. i  just  picked  up a  MTD  1200  1968 year very  nice  tractor  and  mine is  the  lime  green paint  ,  and  u  have a  very  cool one
13. would this tractor be for sale?? Vern
14. I just bought mine today. 14hp Briggs. I'm guessing by the gas tank mine is a few years older that this 16hp. I can't find any model numbers on mine for the engine or the tractor.
     In my searching last night for what exactly my tractor manufacturer and model was, I read that MTD bought out White back in the day so my guess is that this model MTD is heavily influence by the White buy out.
     If someone has a 14hp B&S on this body style MTD, earlier than this one, if you can send me some model type and serial numbers it would be greatly appreciated.
15. Mines a 1973
16. I have the same tractor I just got it yesturday and got It running to day It came with a rear plow and mower deck for free it look exactly like yours only mines yellow and it's a wizard min Is all hydrolic and drive shaft drivin I just had to clean the points
17. This machine is likely a 1977-84 model because of the red paint. May I ask you what the model, type and code #s on the engine are, as that would be a clue as to how old your machine really is?

18. DO YOU STILL HAVE THIS
19. I have the white motor companies version of this tractor and these tractors are not that rare.
20. I just got a mtd similar to yours I think it's one size smaller it has 12'' rims I was going to rip it apart for the rear end hood and grill but it's a crazy heavy duty tractor too so I am having second that's about ripping it apart I think its worth restoring you don't see many garden tractors like these anymore.
