This is an old MTD Yard Machines 16.5 HP Twin 42 inch Lawn Tractor (I believe to be from the mid to late 90s) that me and my dad got for my family's river house. We've had it for a few months and this is already a fantastic mower. The deck is in rough condition because it's been through a lot of use, but otherwise in really great condition, and I'm really impressed with how clean and shiny the headlight lens is. The engine does surge when it's cold, but once it's warmed up and put to use, it eventually stops. It features a Reliable 16.5 HP Briggs and Stratton IC (Industrial/Commercial) Flat (Opposed) twin engine, and a stamped 42 inch mower deck. This is overall a very nice machine to use and certainly cuts well.
