1969 MTD 960 Diesel build

With all of the import laws these days I highly doubt it.

oh you would be surprised, if you don't mind some reassembly of an engine.@Crazy_Carl

some how my 990 is rougher on a trail than the ford wheeler as far as bumps go. is yours the same way?

@RockeyDA I am not sure my tractor is not in running condition right now. I think the main reason is your 990 and my 960 has no suspension besides the seat suspension.

my ford wheeler dont even have seat suspension, but i dont feel every little rock on the ford, maby its the fact i have car tires on my 990. but i feel every little thing on the 990. even if a rock gets stuck in a tread.

@RockeyDA the main reason why on your four wheeler you don't feel the rocks is they have a frame suspension, and that takes out the bumps.

here is a sneak peak on my wiring diagram

find a motor yet?

@Creepycrawler I do have one in mind,this project is on the back burner for now, I got some other projects i need to get done first.I will most likely take me about year and half to get the tractor done.

thought I would give a quick update: I bought another tractor same model, but with a tiller, one bottom plow, and a snowblower. the tractor has a newer clutch and RAGB. The reason why I haven't been working on it is I have my Wisconsin water pump rig to do first. still have one from tractor to get for parts.

Nice tractor... starting to feel left out on these MTD's! They are nice.

Nice find. I'd like a tractor with some tillage attatchments.

i want a 960.
a MTD 960 and a subrubin with 18hp cast iron oppy are on my bucket list. tractors i want but will never find at a affordable price.

NICE!!!

Happy July 4th
the tiller and the snowblower are actual mtd implements, but the plow is a Brinly, the reason why I know this is I also got a brochure and the manual for the plow, snowblower, tiller, and the engine, which are really hard to find. My plan is to put the guts in blue one I got due the blue one has better tins, dash, and stickers. or the same respect just put all the good tins and dash on the one with the implements. the one I am going to get for parts has factory wheels weights, so when I am done I am going to have a trio of MTD 960/860 tractors, and only one or two are going to run. And I also did find out that the blue one is a 860 due it has a 12hp briggs instead of a 14hp briggs. here is the parts tractor I plan on getting:

THREEEEE!?!?!? im getting jelly over here!

Sweet finds! I'm getting jealous over here too. Are all 3 going to be made into 1 diesel one or are you going to have a diesel one and a gas one? You can probably make 2 running ones easily.

Sorry for the late response, I have been dealing with my car that has been failing,  I am going to make one running tractor out of the three, due parts are getting hard to find. plus I will be getting a Wheel Horse b-80 with mower deck, snowblower and a front blade. Plus I will have a 1988 MTD grass cutter tractor too, so three running tractors and a two parts will be enough for me.

What is your Wisconsin pump project?

I am taking a 1973 Wisconsin AENLD 9hp gas engine and I am going to have it drive a A.Y. McDonald piston tyoe clear water pump. Here is the playlist I created for the project: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2xuU9q-UnTO66fKKYbZ67u_9LvGiLakI

Very nice, I have a 30hp Wisconsin 4" pump
