perry 1 Posted June 26, 2007 i have a make offer chance for a old MTD garden tractor. the tractor been sitting outside for years. it has a twinn cyl hoizonal 16HP briggs & stratton. i never new mtd ran a sideshaft engine?. this is a good size tractor and the motor is cramped tight in there. what cought my eye is it has a nice 3PT hitch complete with chains and drawbar. any of you guys know if theese are worth a darn?. either for a fixer upper or a parts doner. wonder if i could fab that 3pt up on another tractor. as always i forgot my camera, but the link below looks real simuliar but with a smaller engine.

johnmonkey 4 Posted June 26, 2007 I'm thinking Gilson on that tractor. After simplicity, MW started using gilson mfg for their tractors. I am not 100% sure. jh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronPony 3 Posted June 26, 2007 Looked at the link and could not see or read about the 3PT hitch. Looks like a single B&S engine to me. Did not see anything about chains either. Are you sure this is the right link?? Dan aka IronPony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goatfarmer 817 Posted June 26, 2007 I know of a similar MTD in a boneyard. Don't know much about them. For the right price, I'd take a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firefoxz1 4 Posted June 26, 2007 I know of one near me that is like the one in the pic but has a 16 single Briggs in it (Not running). The guy wouldn't sell it and it just sits in the back of his property. I didn't look at it to much but it actually said MTD on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
