Mtd Pinto. Ride On Lawn Mower. Like Lawnflite 404

|
An Mtd Pinto ride on mower, (same as the lawnflite 404) which all works as it should do.  Automatic drive with a 61cm turning circle and a 60cm cutting width. There are  4 height adjustments to  choose from for the cutting blade. Depending on your requirements. The Deck which houses and covers the blade for protection and grass clipping routing is solid and in good condition. No damage or holes. This mower is great for narrow passageways or garden gates. It has a good speed available as well to mow a sizeable area, with the torquey 4 stroke engine it has the power to mow the lawn and propel forward without the engine labouring.  The mower is very adaptable for many types of garden. . The cutting deck is mounted at a slightly offset position. This allows the cutting blade to mow right up to edges, and is particularly handy when trees and flower borders are present. Very easy to use being relatively light and easily manoeuvred compared to the bigger lawn tractors. So family members who are not sporting rippling muscles and the strength of an orang u tang, will manage the machine with ease. You could even perhaps  command your grumpy offspring of teenage years to mow the lawn for you! Assuming they have passed the stage of unbelievable stupidity, and won t cause mayhem and destruction throughout the garden, or further afield.  With the grass collector bag on board it Is suitable for smaller gardens because its turning ability is not hampered by the collector bag being at the very back attached to the rear of the mower frame , adding length to the mower.  A Briggs and Stratton 6.5HP engine is a 4 stroke overhead valve unit starts and runs fine. It has recently had an oil change with the correct Briggs and Stratton oil, and a new spark plug has been fitted, the air filter cleaned and the carburettor springs and connectors lubricated.  The petrol has also had some Briggs and Stratton fuel fit added which is an additive that maintains the petrol in a clean and effective state. It also aids combustion and helps to keep the engine in good order. I recommend this to be used at every fuel refill, available online or from many garden centres or agricultural dealerships. Basically in this case it means you won t be buying a mower that may have been sitting in a garage for months or longer where the petrol in the tank and carburettor would deteriorate and become gummy . That can lead to starting and running problems.  This model only weighs 132kg. It has recently been fitted with a new recoil spring (£4.95) due to the old one just getting a bit worn and not as sprung as it should have been. Also, I had fitted a new drive belt, (£32) from e bay. The original one was a bit worn and was not as efficient as it should have been. Now the new one is working fine.  It provides the forward and reverse drive, and should last for years.  A large grass trimmings collector is on the back of the mower. This has a good sized capacity of 150 litres. It can be easily lifted off and a rear platform is revealed. This is ideal to put any items like garden tools, materials or any bulky items, garden gnomes, mother in law, your cat, or dog, beers and magazines for the garden shed, etc. you get the general idea, or transport them around the garden looking
