Greetings All

My name is Doug and I have a Craftsman Pro Series 24HP 46" deck (Model 247.204420). I was trying to find information on making repairs on this thing. Nothing specific right now, but there's nothing for repairs at Sears. Just looking right now. That's how I ran into this site.

Thanks

If you run into problems with your tractor just post them, we'll help you as best we can. Familiarize yourself by reading entire operators & engine manuals regarding maintenance intervals.

Google MTD 700 series service manual.
You will find a lot of them on the web.
MTD made the mower so apart from the hood and the thinner metal it is the same as a Troybuilt from the previous year.

I guess I was HUA. I was introducing myself and when I submitted the post I saw I was in the wrong place and deleted it but then had to enter at least 3 letters. I should have said, OOPS I'm in the wrong place. What kind of engine do you have on you mower in your avatar?

Sorry that's all I know ... I thought it was an eye grabber so I confiscated the pic !!! Best to ya .....Boobala ........:thumbsup:

It definitely caught my eye. It didn't look like the typical engine. It would take a lot of gas to mow a big yard with that,LOL.

It is only a avatar but have a real good close look.
it is not real it is a photoshop creation.
look at the size of the engine as comparred to the size of he wheels.
Unless Ford is making 1 litre V 8's now days

The image is a bit small to be evaluating it in micro detail but the courier company clientelle were magazine publishers, photographers, models, avid editing suites etc etc.
If you were photoshoping it with the big version of photoshop you use the "shaddows" filter to add them automatically.
Manyally you would alredy have the road on a background layer and the mow cart on another so you make a mast of the mower then put it between the background & mower shift it left & back then colour it 20% black and 60% transparent ( 40% opacity actually ) and there is your shadow about 45 seconds for an experienced operator and about 3 or 4 minutes for me.

Kicking around the web is a photoshoped 4 door convertiable RR Silver Shadow I that I did for a friend by dropping the interior of his Corniche onto a standard 4 door saloon.
Corniches were $ 150,000 at the time and saloons were $ 45,000 . He wanted to know how 4 door would look before he committed the $30,000 to the chop shop to cut the roof off some old cars.
He put the image on his web page to test the popularity in order to justify the price.
He ended up going into Jags & Austin Princesses so he abandoned the project but I have seen my image all over the place including in 2 auto magazines & 5 bridal magazines.
Not bad for a car that never existed.
The people at work found dozens of things that were indicators of it being faked but it fooled a lot of magazine editors looking for some page fillers.

It does look cool but it looks wrong to me at the size it appears on the forum.
proportions look all wrong unless the whole thing is a custom build including all of the rear body work.
It could be a real custom rod made to look like a mower, there are more than enough funny car builders out there with the time, skill & energy to whip one up.
