Welcome to my new build thread! This is my free and new to me MTD! I believe it to be identical @Brianator The Warhorse! I have done some basic tinkering with it."Tenee Gonzales" Coast to coast (MTD) 11/36 20240919

This thing def needs some work to get it to the point I want it at which is basically a lil romper that can do about 12ish MPH and still have a functional mowing deck. With literally no work besides stealing some keys from a diff tractor and some brake clean she lit right off.

The smoke is from some oil I put in the cylinder and as I let it run it cleared up and didn't smoke at all! I put a new chunk of fuel line on, put some gas in the tank and took it for a drive!

... and immediately got it stuck. lol No steering and flat tires don't go well with gravel. For not touching that carb it runs pretty well. Could be better but it is not super high on the list. What is high on the list is steering. I have some steering of a new MTD that I am going to swap on I just have to make a custom steering rod. So that will be one of the first things. Then a rear pulley swap is in order. I got the parts. I also got an ATV rack for the rear which is where I will mount the battery as you saw in the vid the positive and negative battery leads are ran on the floorboard. So, something custom there. Bust since the wiring all works, I am just going to relocate the battery to back there. For now, I got some tires that will go on it that hold air but, if possible, some ATV rear tires would be preferred. Besides that, just a service and we should be ready to go romping!

Love the look of these tractors! Does this just have a regular FNR or one of the oddball peerless trans?

@RichieRichOverdrive As far as I can tell it is the normal FNR with the 7 speed Vari drive unit. I think they are called a peerless 610?

Not peerless, but the 610 or 618 designation sounds about right.

Oh ok. I know that the 618 was the Hi Lo with 1 inch axle version. That what my MTD 18/46 had in it. That was a cool mowchine.

Well. Its only been 2 months but she is done. Got the new arm on the spindle and drove her around. Not sure when I will finish the rest of him as I just got a way cooler tractor project lol. But she is a driver!

Nice that the clutch is on the left on that machine. A lot of the old MTDs were right foot clutch.

Yea! Now I don't have to relearn how to drive a clutch lol. Being ambidextrous is not a skill of mine lol.

I had a right foot clutch dynamark at my house for a little bit. I crashed that dang thing in 1st gear at idle. Safe to say right foot clutches arent for me.
