Janiece: The Montgomery Mudder

Well boys, hear it is! its got a 11hp briggs with i believe an mst 205. Im gonna strip it down to frame clean and patch the rust, repaint, get new bolts for reasembly and put it back together. im gonna open up the transaxle and get new seals, because its leaking, clean it up, reasemble and put back on. Im gonna do direct steering, my own wy, and probably put handlebars on it. im gonna redo the wiring and do some other stuff that i wont mention yet

isn't that a vari-drive?

Good luck!

its a five speed nutbuster

good luck little brother

GOOD LUCK!

great! I know that some of the older MTD's had them, but I wasn't shure when that was.

Good Luck!

Did it come with a vari drive? Ive only seen montgomerys with vari

nope, not tht i know of, its a mst 205 but if it did, it dont now, ill see the manual dosnt say anything bout it

UPDATE 1: This thing is so rigged lol, the guy or whoever had it (im pretty sure) welded the rims on the transaxle.    It might be ok though, ill just clean up the rims good and get some bigger tires. My friends family owns are car shop and junk yard, with mowers, so i can get rims for the front, Ill see if i can get same size rims on front and back but bigger tires in back. I post update vids on my channel so ill put a link. Im doin a side build on a little 2hp briggs for when i cant work on my mower.

Wow that must really stink who would weld the rims   Good luck on the build

There welded right so ill just replace the tires, i thought about it i though "hey they aint coming off now" lol. Ill go to my friends junkyard if i decide to change it

They arent welded on, it looked like it but it wasnt. i got the back cover off so i started cleaning it up for paint. its supposed to get cold again so there might be a wait on any major progress.

Quick little update. Its been REALLY cold and i cant get much done in it. Im not in a rush but i wish i was farther along then i am. I did find possible tires though.

Nieghbors got rims and mower stuff i can have. Never had the time to drag em through the cornfield yet, but ill get em soon

FFS the weather!   its driving me nuts. Gotta cold (which wont stop the work) but its still cold outside. I needed to update but i havent done anything. When its warmer, im talking at least 40's out, ill get the engine off and keep tearing it to just frame.

ive been working on my side build lately. Its a 2hp briggs horizontal shaft. All i need to do is get the paint off it now, should i just use paint thinner or do you guys do it another way? let me know, Thanks

Lol Its 16 degrees outside and i'm still working on my build Surprised i haven't got frostbite yet. And to get the paint off do you have a air compressor and a wire wheel or sanding wheel. If you don't try using paint thinner. And sometimes Kerosene works.

no compressor, my ole mans getting one after we move, i got lantern feul will tht work?

hhmm I don't know if it will work. Only one way to find out is to try it. And if it doesn't work you can always wipe it of and try something else.

ok, ill try sometime, thanks

No problem

WORKS ON HALT! I messed my back up lifting stuff all weekend (lifting that snowmobile didnt help either.) My barn also has 3 inches of ice and 1 inch of water covering the floor. I was making a shop cleanup vid but its gotta wait too. If the weather keeps up, it should be melted by Sunday, so ill do it then. No progress on the tractor also.

Vid soon, got it pretty much torn down and started to do a little bit of painting, i got a few ideas for it so hopefully it works out.

imma try for a vid tomorrow, I planned on one before but i never got around to it, plus with a possible soon move so ive been cautious of what to get done.

not finishing, not even close too, i start moving tomorrow and i got camp starting sunday for a week so good luck everybody else that is done/ almost done. cant wait to see waht everybodies looks like that finishes when i get back. I will finish my mower after were done moving, it makes it easier on me to just wait til we move instead of getting really far in it and moving everything. Thanks for the opportunity to enter and to try to win!ill certainly enter the next one if we plan on another one!(And finish hopefully )
