suits person with good mechanical knowledge - minor irritations. must use "swing blades" = not solid bars.
slightly heavy steering, reasonable turning circle. This mower, is VERY simple to operate!
To cut grass evenly, you must first set cutting deck "level", ( with rear wheels, ) with mower on a hard flat surface. this is very simple to do. No "special tools" required! Height "adjustment" of cutting deck, speed and gear selection, are simple. Make sure you follow the Owners Manual directions!!!
Engine is usual Briggs & Stratton - & very reliable - if you service it regularly, as instructed!
Change engine oil ANNUALLY! Regardless of numb...Read more

My little hot rod
My MTD is OLD but it keeps going,due to its age I have had to just about rebuild it only through fair wear and tear. This little beast starts easy and away we go,have a bit of fun while cutting grass,I punish it and it's never let me down. Don't know if I would have a newer model as I like the the metal body on the oldie,anyway don't have to buy a new one...I've got the old 13.5/38 hot rod,this will go forever

Not bad but has a few problems
This machine was new 6 years ago and used on about 3 acres of lawn. Always in the shed and looks still brand new.. The B&S engine is great. My block is sloping and I had problems turning up on the slope. The diff just allowed the wheels to turn without traction. Bought a set of mini snow chains from the US and that fixed that. Best 100 bucks I ever spent. The blades on these things are about beer can gauge steel and fold up like spaghetti when you hit even a gumnut. Replaced them with gator blades.. Solid slabs of steel about 1/4" t...Read more
hick. Bloody brilliant.. The downside is that the blade driving belt only lasts about 6 months but you can buy them cheap on eBay and they are not hard to replace. For some reason the battery needs to be kept on constant charge and even then you are lucky to get 12 months out of it. The latest problem is the failure of the main transmission belt. This is a mongrel to replace and after doing so the mower will only move at a snails pace. Lots of helpful advice on the net and I'm looking into that now. My first rideon was a 2nd hand Rally Roper.. a complete piece of ugly crap that shed chunks of itself every time I used it.. The welder was always ready at the shed door for repairs at the end of the day. Then I had a Husqvarna and you don't even want to hear about that experience.. haha.. happy mowing..

lemon
my first mtd lasted 14 yrs with a few modifications. So when it finally was unrepairable I decided to buy another. Biggest lemon ever from day one deck kept falling down, belts burning out, catcher not attached correctly by dealer. Every time dealer took 3 -4 weeks to even look at, then it often had something else broken once got it home.

Do you have petrol,have you turned the petrol tap on,is the petrol fresh and clean,are your air filters clean,how is you spark plug,have you disengaged the cutter deck,is it flooding when you are trying......it could be anything,hard to tell without seeing it and having a fiddle with things,is it newer or older. Good luck,I hope you get it going
