I'd love to see one of these old MTDs built as a resto mod off roader like Ol' Red.  I'd find an old flathead to put in there before a predator.  I don't think the slanted jug on the predator would look right under the hood because the crank is inline with the tractor.

Would you like of the engines out of my tractors?

long over due update: finally got my engines. my wisconsin water pump rig is on hold due the pump. yes you seeing that right, that is two 10hp diesel engines. one for the MTD and the other for a Bolens 1050 that I got on trade for some small engine repair.

Nice looking engines.

Thanks, guess what I paid for them? @MightyRaze

In afraid to know.

@MightyRaze about $1415 with tax, I offered the guy $650/engine and he accepted it on eBay.

Nice build! I've always liked the hoods on these old mtds.

Thanks. I fell in love with the tractor about 7 years ago, and I have had the tractor for about 2 years ago.

here is the Video explaining my reasons for my repowers.

WOW, its been over an year since I updated everyone with my project. thought I would explain in this video:

Well a lot has happened since I last posted over 2-3 years ago. I am currently in the middle of a cleaning out, too many tractors, have bought a few more, gotten rid of a few and no room. I picked up this 1972? MTD 960 with 3 point setup. The original tractor I was going to use was a 860 not a 960.
