Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted May 12, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted May 12, 2019 Drove by the Lenox factory yesterday and they had a giant tent set up in the parking lot. Gonna call one of our customers from there tomorrow and find out if it's another tool sale, had some great deals on all the stanley b+d brands the last time but you need an invite.

Where are you from? Place is only 20 mins from here... 11 minutes ago, steve from amherst said: Actuallythe same lawn tractor was sold under about 2 dozen different names.

I had this one 13 years and still got 3 grand for it with 300 hrs on it. I had an MTD Troy Bilt snowblower that literally fell apart in 5 years and needed a complete rebuild.

My feet burn up in them. You can get the made in USA ones for about $150. https://www.keenfootwear.com/american-built-collection/?start=0&sz=36#tile-0 I have three or four pairs of the Keen work shoes very well made and comfortable.

Cold War Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I have an old MTD gold series. All steel. Best 400 I ever spent. Still be going long after a brand new toy cookie cutter mower will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made somewhere in the midwest, Wisconsin I think? Have around 70 hours on it now. Old Craftsman in the background. That thing must have had a couple thousand hours on it. Made in the US by MTD. If you mowed an average lot in town that mower would have lasted a long time. Reverse linkage on the hydrostat transmission ended up breaking and got stuck in drive. Still finished up the year in only forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty left on the factory blades. Do you have Toro parts or aftermarket? I just did all the preseason maintenance. Not much to it other than the hydrostat oil and filters.

No access to original Toro parts, only after market, but items for your engine I have access to, I assume it's a Kohler or Kawi in it? I'll be able to find you Oregon blades, just get me the model and serial# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sells Stihl and Toro so I can get everything in one spot. Bobcat too when I get one of those. Spent a lot of money with them last year but they give me a decent discount. Even discount Stihl stuff for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
