pmackellow 2,738 #2 Posted May 25, 2015 It's terrible when lawn tractors do that to you !! Looks like a good project, any idea how old it is ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mowerdar 98 #3 Posted May 25, 2015 It is terrible Paul that's the 2nd time it's happened in less than a month. Counts now at 3 and no idea yet was nearly dark when I picked it up so haven't really had a good butchers yet but I'm guessing late 70s early 80s at a guess will try and find some numbers out tomorrow when it gets put in the unit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mowerdar 98 #8 Posted May 26, 2015 No worries even the old school mower mechanic couldn't find anything on it when I asked for a drive belt for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #9 Posted May 26, 2015 I've just tried a quick Google search (Lawnflite 11/38) there's some information on there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mowerdar 98 #10 Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I've looked but can't find out what it actually is as there's no model numbers or anything cheers for looking though Paul Edited May 26, 2015 by mowerdar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #11 Posted May 27, 2015 All I can find is a MTD brochure which features tractors badged up as Lawnflite, that dates from 1975 so would that make your machine later than that ?? No worries even the old school mower mechanic couldn't find anything on it when I asked for a drive belt for it It reads 11/38 on the bonnet in your first photo where its in the trailer, I took it from that...

mowerdar 98 #12 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Cheers Paul going by the brochure I'd say it's basically the second but with a 11hp engine as it's got a 3 speed transaxle and grill is slightly different but front tyres match what's on there so guessing there original so I'm thinking it maybe abit later than 75 I'm guessing more like 80ish hopefully taking it to my mower man so he can see clutch and belt set up to see which of the 3 belts in his parts file will fit Edited May 27, 2015 by mowerdar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
