Springtime Startup of MTD Yard Machines Tractor
This is the first springtime start of our 1993 MTD Yard Machines tractor Special Edition. It has a 16 HP horizontally opposed twin cylinder from Briggs & Stratton which usually purrs like a kitten. For this startup, it cranked quite a bit longer then usual, probably due to the carburetor being empty of fuel. Before this I pulled the front wheels and cleaned the bearing surfaces…after this I washed and wax it. Last year we sand blasted and painted the mowing deck. For a few more pictures and it’s official webpage, visit: www.butchthecat.com This tractor probably won’t get used much this year. It has a 42″ mulching deck (conversion from side discharge) but I’ll be using my reel mower for the lawn and I’m about to receive a 1970’s Bolens from my uncle for trailer pulling/dirt pushing. They’ll be lots of video of the Bolens coming up.

Co-op 1983 Turf-Trac 16/44 16hp
ey man nice viedo and i like your MTD XD
i have 2 tractors a murray and a craftsman the murray is a 1999 twin cylender 20 hp runs like i bought it yesterday but my craftsman single cylender 14 hp runs like i bought it 50 years ago and i was driveing it one day and the axle snaped but its getting fixed i love both tractors
i think the twin engine is why they call it special
Hey dude my 1983 Briggs Stratton 16 twin looks like your but only black and nice save when it almost stalled
You keep that tractor very nice. I also do the same to my Craftsman every year. I have an MTD, with the standard gear drive and a 12 Briggs I/C that I modified electrically, lights, horn, security system, sound system. It was a hobby project that I wanted to do.
Well, it had a little trouble but it did start and with some warming up it ran smooth as glass. However I wanted to point out something to you, you notice how it seemed like ths starter kind of hanged in the beginning? Thats cause your valves need to be adjusted. Adjust your valve clearence to .005 for both intake and exaust for each cylinder and the compression release will be able to function again.
Good video, I love twins
I was given a murray 42″ rider with a briggs I/C 14hp single cylinder engine,that motor is stout!I was cutting through thick knee high grass with no prob!
thats a damn nice tractor man. check my Yard Machine vids.
Thats a nice looking tractor for a 93- I have a few twin cylender motors- I have a few MTD’s -one is an 18HP twin stuffed under the hood of an 96 MTD yardman-looks just like that- it didnt have those side engine bay covers tho and was grey- the engine went to my modifed murray and the tractor is going to be a future project.
I saw your video which was great! We pulled the heads off about 2 years ago to check things out and everything was strangely quite clean. We did have a high speed pulsating issue about 4 years ago, but cleaning the throttle/governor linkages and a carburetor kit took care of that.
dude, we have almost the same tractor. minus the hydrostatic drive. check it out
