She sounds like she runs really well, especially after having sat for so long.

The guy I bought it off of was convinced it needed an engine. I said challenge accepted! Thanks for watching!

“Hell yeah”. Damn right.

A sweet-running engine...congratulations

😊 You remind me of...me. Pretty much clueless, just keep 'working' on it till it's totally junked or it starts. Those opposed twin engines are pretty much bulletproof, they're awesome.

Thank you sir! I’ve been trying to keep up with your new videos !

Great find, great job getting her running!

That was great to see it running

That's a nice looking tractor. I like those engines. You did a great job getting it running. I think with the kill wire I would just replace the whole thing. Might make things a little easier. What ever you do, as long as it runs you should have a good machine.

🇨🇦🤓🤟 i have a few Sears/Roper GT's i work on...try to keep 2 out of the 4 running...lol...

It would be cool but the deck is far worse than I thought!

That's a sweet find. Those battery covers are normally long gone. The Murray version of this GT would be a 39003.

With a name like that I’ll believe you lol! Would you happen to know what size battery this thing takes? A U1 seems like a tight fit.

@@LaidOffGarage That's the size I use, it definitely is tight.

That engine Is the best two cylinder engine BS made even to this date

That motor is old enough to have points and condenser under the flywheel save the old coil its probably still good

They were made by modern tool and die back in 1970s to middle early to late 90s there were about 125 different companies was bought out by MTD there only maybe about 5 big companies and sometimes its hard to get parts some of you to get Amazon for Chinese knot offs or used parts there in ohio and indiana both of are full all kinds both old factorys and outside .

Weird because it’s not an MTD. It’s a lawn chief. Take care !

Just found your channel and subscribed. Nice to see someone getting more life out of these older machines. Would appreciate a subscription back.
