pacer 3,159 #1 Posted June 23, 2013 Anybody recognize this tractor?? Its for sale near me - info on it is brief (as seems to be in these ads) - but with full hyds, 3 point hitch (and maybe PTO?), deck, and looks clean, just might be interesting. Compact garden tractor, 16hp briggs engine, hydrostat tranny, hydro 3 point hitch and deck lift, 50 inch cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,547 #2 Posted June 23, 2013 Not a wheel horse...Looks more like a mtd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,558 #3 Posted June 23, 2013 Probably an MTD product made for some brand name like Agway or Western Auto. If its cheap enough I wouldn't be afraid to take a look at it, but don't expect it to work or put up with the abuse a Wheel Horse can. Mike...............

DoctorHfuhruhurr 132 #4 Posted June 23, 2013 I'd probably buy it if the price was right. The old MTD's were decent. Front attachments may be a challenge to find but if it's got a 3 point it has to be built to pull it. You may want to ask around a few of the mytractorforum forums also.

pacer 3,159 #5 Posted June 23, 2013 Asking $500 which is too much, but is close enough to maybe think about bargaining on it - the ad has been running for a month so might be ready to negotiate. I have a 22yr old MTD hydro drive and have had excellent service from it, using it to not only mow but also to run one of those trailer mounted leaf vacuums which really seems harder than mowing... (My MTD dont look nuthin like that!!) But my sho-nuf work "HORSE" in a '75 D-180! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,116 #6 Posted June 23, 2013 Its an MTD Ranch King. At least that is my educated guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoctorHfuhruhurr 132 #7 Posted June 23, 2013 I asked in mytractorforum.com and someone said an MTD 995. From the pics I've seen it looks to be accurate. They can hold their own against similar tractors of that era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
