My name is Chas. I'm a trucker by trade and a lawn care enthusiast. I have just enough lawn to use a tractor and I have a decent one. Its an MTD 2007 38 inch cut 15.5 B&S. I bought it last year to replace a long running MTD Tractor that gave out. It had issues when I bought it but ran like a Mack Truck. Picked it up cheap. Used it the last part of last season and the early part of this season. I had bought a parts tractor just like mine to replace the parts that were messed up on my current Tractor. I stripped down the parts tractor to the frame. I then decided to take my current Tractor apart and replace the items pirated from the parts Tractor. Well, upon inspection I found the frame on my current Tractor was cracked badly by the foot brake and was flexing so I stripped my good Tractor down to the frame. Took the parts from both and went through every part and nut, bolt, and spring and installed the best stuff on my current Tractor and scrapped the remains. I'm still looking for yet another parts Tractor like mine and still having a couple of issues with my current Tractor but cutting the lawn weekly. Below is a bit of my MTD history in pictures. Thanks for looking.

This was my long running Tractor that gave out last year. Built this one out of two back in the day.

These were two I was cobbling back together. Ended up selling them off to make room.

Here is my current Tractor on the left and the parts Tractor I bought on the right.

This is the parts Tractor after stripping it down.

This is the pile of parts left from both of the Tractors.

And this is my Current Tractor now.
