What Model MTD is this

briant · Jul 3, 2017

Recently purchased this as a non runner for the Community Garden, have since got it running but don't know what model it is, trying to find a wiring diagram/spares for it.

When we got it running we were a bit surprised as the ignition barrel was disconnected :confused2:

Any help would be very much appreciated

In Australia It was sold as a Yard Machine. Lawn flight might be a UK / Europe model name.
Go here http://www.mymowerparts.com/about_us.php and check out the free manuals & parts list section.
The "Must have" MTD books cover most of the earlier mowers.
Check also the Yardman & yardmachine sections.
Do it in your off peak download times because there is a lot of Gb of data there.

Thanks bert,

What does the 'Model 784' in photo #2 represent?

That is what I don't know, when I do a search there does not seem to be any correlation to any existing model No's.

Take a look at this and see if anything looks familiar.

Using a digital camera ( not your phone ) take some photos of the ID tag at different angles ,use the highest resolution that your camera has.
If you have a tripod for the camera, even better.
Pop them in a photo editing app then increase the contrast or invert the colours ( make negative on some apps ) the number will jump out of the screen & bite you.

The MUST HAVE boks you are looking at are no 2 lawn Tractors & No 3 Garden Tractors.
Great books but lots of photos so they are big downloads but worth doing then printing out ( around 200 pages ) and binding

Thanks Bert, getting the photo's done as we speak but in the meantime after tireless internet browsing I have identified the model, it is a 1988/1989 Lawnflite model 139-784-611.

Managed to find all the spares and manuals that I need thanks to some useful links on here.

Thanks guys for all your help, look out for some photo's and possibly some video once its all working correctly.

Thanks,

BrianT:thumbsup:
