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.
