I have taught "Small Engine Care and Repair" in the local school district's continuing education program for several years. I also appear as a guest speaker at many local vocational schools.

Answer Sorry Creed, the model number you gave me isn't a good number.
If the drive train is gear drive you don't need to worry. The trans is filled with grease and is non-servicible.
If the drive train is hydrostatic it is also non servicible.
FYI... you can't fix squat on an MTD without removing sheet metal.
