C_hasbeen 249 #1 Posted May 5, 2020 I pulled this out or the tree row loaded it on a wagon drug it up to give to a fella here in town that said he sure wanted to restore it. I think it is an old mtd. Either way he was happy and I cleaned up a bit here. The transaxle is cast iron and 4 speed input pully is vertical and the belt twists over a idler so the vertical shaft engine can run it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,314 #2 Posted May 6, 2020 I had one similar to that, think it was an American Yard Products design. Classic bent soft-grip wheel haha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricF 589 #3 Posted May 6, 2020 By the fender and footboard design, it looks more like a Murray. If the plate behind the axle that forms the hitch and rear cover is angled, not vertical, then it's a Murray. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was angled, it had a fabled up heavy hitch with a 2 inch ball on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricF 589 #5 Posted May 8, 2020 Murray built a lot of different riding mowers, some of them are kind of a mix and match of various parts combinations. A few were dead ringers for AYP/Roper models and were sold along side them under the Craftsman brand. The most common Murray riders had that angled back plate long after AYP/Roper had moved away from that style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
