Here’s a yard machines riding lawn tractor with a 42 “Mowing deck and a 14.5 hp briggs & stratton I / c single cylinder engine. Built back when mtd was still a decent ope maker (1997), that motor had a 1-year business and 2-year housing warranty back in ‘ 97 – it’s a very well-built, durable engine. Simply adapted valves, cleaned carburetor, cleaned engine fins and shrouds, installed brand fresh battery (napa)-zero hours on it all. The system of charging functions.
Starts up every moment and goes fantastically. Deck is functioning as it should. Deck raised all the way up stops the blades, they start to lower the deck down-a easy and reliable scheme. Given its era, the entire unit is in incredible condition. I’d wager it’s going to have very small hours. Honestly, for $500, this is a better machine than anything you can purchase new today. By no stretch it’s not a showroom mint-there are some dents and scratches here and there on the unit, and the rear fenders are kinked a bit in the back.
