Dayton Lawn Tractor

[talihinarobert]

I just got a Dayton Lawn tractor with a 16hp vertical engine.
I was told its an antique and I wpould like to find any information I can on the tractor and motor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Post a picture and a model # if you can find one on it. Was it sold at Graingers as they carry Dayton products? It may be a garden tractor with a 16HP motor as the old lawn tractors motors were usually around 10HP. Does it look like this one that was made in 1977 manufactured for Dayton by MTD?

If so here is a link to a 1980 manual.

Hope this is helpful to you. If you want information on the motor we will need the model # for it as well. :biggrin:

Once you get the model # we can determine the year of manufacture and get the specific manual for it. :thumbsup:
