MTD Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

[ToddC]

Hi, created account for mower help.

I inherited an MTD TurfPower 42" lawn tractor with about a 12 h.p. Briggs engine. I try to keep it running in memor of my dad. It uses a little oil and had been running o.k., but now when I shut it off, it makes a clanging sound and it wheezes when it stops. I'm guessing it could be something with the valves. Any ideas?

Hi! Hubby bought a restored Yard Machine that works (or did) better than one that had been coaxed through the past three decades. It's wonderful when it isn't shredding belts. ' Look forward to seeing if we can find some answers...

Check the engine mounting bolts for tightness
