[Lowdrag]

My first post here, and as you can guess my tractor is getting long in the tooth and parts are getting hard to find. Living in Europe even harder in fact, and very expensive with it. I had new blades delivered from the USA for one third of the price here. But I am looking for an exhaust system for the MTD HDS 2150 if I can find one. It is - or was - made by MTD and not Kohler, and if anyone can point me in the direction of a stockist I'd be very grateful.

One thing we have discovered recently is that there were two types of hydrostatic gearboxes, and that seems to be the base of many an argument as to what oil should be used. Early versions have a separate box from the rear diff, and so two different types of oil are necessary. The later ones are unitary with diff and box combined, so take a standard 10/40 oil it seems. Mine is the earlier one.

I'm glad to have found this forum, and look forward to hearing from you.
