MTD has been in business for over 75 years making outdoor power equipment. Yardman, Yard Machines, Bolens, Troy Bilt, Cub Cadet, and lots of private label brands. Lawn Chief is a brand that MTD acquired years ago, they still have some parts and drawings available.

Thank you for the info on MTD...Appreciate it very much.....
yes, mtd found out long ago the best way to compete with your competition is to buy them out, and in many cases have done so. also, mtd has ruined alot of the reputation that the older original manufacturers had earned. take troybilt for instance. used to be a great piece of equipment, now the units mtd has manufactured, well keeps the doors of alot of shops open and the lights turned on. cause anytime, anytime you stop by our shop, mtd products out number others in need of repairs. they have gone to a quantity instead of quality manufacturing.

Thank you for your opinion...it's good enuf for me...I appreciate it......
MTD sells more units than anyone else, stands to reason a shop would have more of them. Over the last few years, with the emergence of the Home Depots, Lowes, and Walmarts all fighting for the power equipment dollar, MTD like everyone else including John Deere has had to try to stay competitive. Gardenway (makers of old Troy Bilt) went bankrupt because they couldn't adjust. Who would have thought you would ever see Deere units being sold at discount prices at Home Depot? Combine incredible leverage of the few remaining large retail outlets with the huge increases in steel prices over the last few years, and you have manufacturers doing the only thing they can to continue to sell a rider for 749 bucks. Have to cut down on steel, and make a cheaper mower. MTD and Deere still have the premium units, but you can't get those for 750 bucks.
