A couple more stragglers

Had two different local people get a hold of me recently and want me to come haul off a tractor.
One a lawn tractor.
A 86 MTD. It's kind of cool. It's a little thing with a big wide hood covering the factory 18 hp Briggs opposed twin. It looks like it's all engine lol.
The other a Wheel Horse that most of the Wheel Horse crew consider one of the less desirable models. A 800 Special.
It came with engine and deck but both were loose from the tractor. The engine is missing the starter generator and cover.
I still love hauling the stragglers home like I have for the past 20 years.
My back just complains a little more than it used too lol.

It is going to have to be relocated a little. The way they have it now its too close to the hood.
I thought I might get this one going and mow with it.
I might swap the blower housing out for a recoil start cover if this engine checks out ok.
If not I might look for another good 8-11hp aluminum Briggs to sit on it.

It's still a Wheel Horse. I had to change a belt on my Ingersoll the other day. It reminded me of how easy it was to work on a WH.

Another great score, Rusty! Around here everyone thinks everything is worth a fortune! Just don't run into deals like that!
