1968 MTD Garden Tractor
Photos Taken 1997
1968 MTD
I found this MTD sitting behind a barn and rusting in Kentucky. I took a liking to it and salvaged the mower.

I added live hydraulics to the 1968 MTD and removed the mowing deck among some other custom changes.

I added a hood scoop from a piece of scrap sheet metal, welding it on. The deck was permanently removed to install a Geo power steering pump.

A hydraulic dozer blade and frenched tail lights were among the many modifications. It was painted in a blue flip-flop laquer paint.

This is a back view of the tractor after it was finished. Notice the frenched tail lights. It also has dual exhaust.

The seat was rolled and pleated and candy striped to match the custom paint. Did you notice the custom header pipes?

I tried again to get a photo of the dual exhaust but it didn't show up. They come out on each side of the counter weight.

Here is a good shot of the custom header that I hand made. I used standard black water pipe for this project.
