I have googled and found this thread. I have the number off my mower (from under the seat) but I must be missing a digit or something... I cannot find any info on my mower (given to me from a friend who didn't know what it was). I am assuming it is a Wizard and it has written on it, "11/38 Synchro balanced."

The model # I am coming up with is: 130-498-065-D180 then it's either a "H" or a "P"... can't really tell.

Any help would be great. A picture of this Wizard mower would be nice too. I still am not 100% sure if that is actually what I have.

Thanks!

Hi,
That is an MTD model number; 13 means rider, 0 is the last digit of the year, 498 is the frame, sheet metal, etc. and 065 is who it was made for. Did not find a breakdown, but my guess is 1980.
Peace,
Clarke
