Hey russ...
I think the TMO is a Montgomery Ward model built by MTD... :smile:KennyV

It is eather a MTD or Gilson built machine.

It is eather a MTD or Gilson built machine.

It's neither, it's a museum piece. Put it in the corner and work on it in 10 years. Then it will be worth your time.

The TMO is made by MTD. If it was a "GIL" prefix it would be a Gilson. I think it is later than 1968. The "68" at the end of the model number is not the year. Can you post a pic?

russ...
Here is an operators manual for your mower...
it's in pdf... http://dl.owneriq.net/f/fdf8b9fd-8396-4f8e-ae99-60e5fc3caca3.pdf
40 pages... :smile:KennyV

Page 31 of the manual lists the engine as a Briggs & Stratton 422707-1214-01
And this is a link from partstree that has all the parts diagrams & prices for that engine...

Based on what I was able to find on MTD's website your tractor was built in 1988.
