The same guy that I got my Dynamark from has a cool 1986 Wizard by MTD that actually runs and mows that he will sell or trade. I am not a MTD fan but this mower looks cool and it runs. He wants to trade for a log splitter running or not. I know a guy down the road with a 2006 Craftsman 22 ton log splitter non running for sale for $100 so I'm gonna go by there and see if I can talk him down to $75 and trade the log splitter for the Wizard. I would keep the log splittler but I dont really need it because I already have a log splitter. Hopefully I can work out this trade within the next few weeks. I really like the way this thing looks. If I get this tractor I plan on fully servecing it and pretty much restoring the deck. This will serve as a backup mower and trailer puller.

Its a different MTD then ive seen - most mine have the plastic grilles - couple are the 'walk thru' chassis, couple have the 'bolens' style front clip - only different one is my 80's wizard ( pop has a 88 mastercut with same style body) - all squared off front.

Running theyre worth $300 - so its worth the hassle .

The seller has a Whites Lawn Tractor by MTD that runs and mows. He said I can take either one in trade. I like the chrome grille on the White but I like the Wizard more

I like that chrome grille one - i have a couple 'plain' ones ( the walk thru's) - the chrome is sharp tho.

Im more leaning to the Wizard. Chrome is cool, but only if what is chromed is cool, and im not digging that grille design anytime soon.

Both would be pretty rare - ive hardly seen either of them - the chrome grilled ones are usually all rusted/corroded - that seems in decent shape.

Update: I went and got the log splitter for only $25 and it runs really good so Im keeping it for myself so I worked out another trade. I got a rebuilt Onan 25 horse twin cylinder for $24 and Im trading that for the Wizard. The log splitter I got it a 1990's Craftsman 24 ton with a 8 horse Tecrapseh engine that runs very good. The Wizard should be delivered Saturday afternoon and I promise to get photos

Hi guys. Sorry bout the delay. Got the Wizard back on Sunday. It was supposed to be running but when we fired it up it threw a rod so we did a different trade. I got the Wizard and took off the old motor and installed a 1992 Briggs 11 horse and actually drove this thing around for awile with no problems. Yesterday I was driving it and shredded a drive belt. The transmatic drive needs to be oiled up. I also rewire the mower just for the fun of it. The stator does not work so I am not charging the battery. Now I just need to replace the drive belt, lube the varidrive, get a stator, get a tire, get a gas tank, and sharpen the blades. When I took apart the old motor I dicovered a broken rod and broken balencer. Oh and the Wizard came with a bagger that doesent even fit it

Heres some videos

That bagger looks like it goes on a White. I had a similar one on one of my old mowers.

Sucks that it threw a rod though.

Its a standard bagger setup for an MTD - i have two complete MTD bagger setups and a couple bag mounts around - they look just like that.

Best part about mine is one came on a $25 MTD - the other came on a free MTD - also bot a $300 complete bagger setup brand new off a husquavarna ZTR from Lowes for $40 ( was returned to the store) - i need to adapt it to one of my mowers sometime.

I tell ya sometimes you can score some awsome deals at lowes - you just have to wander around sometimes.
