New mower to work on.
« on: October 16, 2007, 03:35:34 pm »
Hello everyone,
I bought the mower and i really like it and i am thinking about making it a MOWchine, It is a Longlife mower it has a 12HP 28CID briggs motor which i had running lastnight, But i have a question do you guys think it would make a good MOWchine??? I have never heard of this kind of mower, But when i seen it i knew i had to have it, I have pictures, Here they are.









On a side note, These are the mowers i talked about getting and said one was kinda small and might make a good MOWchine, The last pictures is the a craftsman i bought to i like the green rims :badgrin: and it is the mower i said was the same body style as the one Tomfox used to build his racing mower.

That looks to be an 80's model MTD. they made mowers for everyone, Sears, Lowes, whoever...

I think that's a pretty cool looking mower, you should clear over the surface rust and keep 'er as she is. It would be a fashion statement so-to-speak!

Chris, I might just do that, It is almost complete the only things wrong are where the F N R shifter is in front of your seat the cover is gone and one of the longlife emblems is a little melted the deck is in good shape, Both mowers i got from the same guy, He had some brush to burn and it got a little to close to his mowers the craftsman has it the worst with a melted tank a melted oil fill tube and some melting around the steering wheel it is the motor that has a knock in it so i am going to strip it for my 12HP crank, I only gave $20 bucks for both of them.

Thats right i only gave $20 bucks for both mowers, I thought it was a good deal, :rocknana: i think i am going to leave the Longlife alone and fix her up, i checked the deck over it looks to be in even better shape than i thought, I need to change the tires they are dry rotted and i need to clean some of the crud off, The motor does not seem to leak any oil it was running very well. :3gears: The only things i did to get it running i changed the plug and replaced the coil i had to put a carb on it (there was not one on it) and i changed the starter because the one on it did not turn the motor fast enough to start it, i think the starter has a bad spot in it. Anyway that is about all i can tell you about it thanks for reading my long post. I have just one more question, Does anyone know where i might be able to find a emblem for it and the shifter cover?? :willynilly:
