I should mention.. I discovered later that the "Start/Drive" lever will function when the Brake Pedal is depressed.

litterally in the 14 years I've owned this tractor I've never found a more helpful video thankyou for this I own a mtd 960 mine has a manual trans and no hydraulic lift but it's the same tractor thanks for the upload after sitting for 4 or 5 years I pulled mine out today to find it has no spark would love to get the rototiller back on and put to use

[@ontariotube]

You'll see I have a 960 as well. It has a solid plow on it I use to push snow. Thank you for the comment. So glad we live in a time that we can share our experiences with these old machines and help each other out!!

[@shaundylke8873]

@@ontariotube thanks for the reply yes it is nice that we can share information on these old machines my tractor is exactly 20 years older than me so there is much to be learned after some internet searching I did find the manuals and breakdowns of both the 960 and the rototilller still looking for the manual for the mowing deck my 960 also has the manual lift I'm from alberta and there doesnt seem to be many of these tractors out this way

[@SkullLuckForza]

Thank you for this video it was very helpful. , I just picked up a similar gt-1650 facing some of the same issues. 👍

[@wolffin100]

I enjoyed that . I've had my 990 for going on 20 years . And going strong . Would love to see more of that deck , it's very different from the one with mine .

[@ricardosalgado5658]

my bolens qt17 is doing the same thing.

[@ricardosalgado5658]

not anymore, I downloaded the manual and resettled the air and gas intake to factory settings and now is running like new.

[@colinoscopy4811]

i will be going to pick up a yard man style 990 on wensday no spark

[@ontariotube]

It's cheap and easy to drop the points and go electronic ignition. Lots of videos out there showing the method.

[@garyhenderson5768]

Thank you,shot in the dark here but if you could please give a video underneath it would be so helpful. I had the lift cylinder rebuilt and cannot get it back in the right place

[@ontariotube]

Sorry ma'friend. I sold that tractor last year.

[@loderstan4438]

Hey where can I find the dash off one of those

[@MustacheVerra]

Is there a brake lock so one can work on a hill on these? Thanks.

[@garryludwick2990]

Just bought a MTD145990. The drive works but cant get the lift to work

[@lukaszskwara2848]

Is it possible to change this tractor to a race mower and lower it

[@ontariotube]

I'm no expert, but I would think this thing is way to heavy to be competitive.

[@sabi1473]

Where can i find deck mower for a white GT 1650 same model as MTD 990 thank you jeff

[@ontariotube]

Hopefully someone else can help you.. I have no idea.

[@MrNicelittledog]

I HAVE A RECONDITIONED SPARE ONE JUST NOT SURE IF I WANT TO PART WITH IT YET .

[@loderstan4438]

What part of Ontario are you from

[@ontariotube]

middlesex county

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

You wouldnt happen to have an extra clutch sheild for a 960 would you ? The 990 sheild may work too. ? Its the only part i need . restoration is complete otherwise .

[@ontariotube]

No Luck. I recently sold my 960 and it was also missing it's clutch shield :(

[@WildBoys69420]

would you ever sell some parts i.e air filter etc maybe other things

[@ontariotube]

I just listed the tractor for sale last night (too much machine for my little lawn)... and included the parts-tractor in the deal. I'm not really much for mailing parts online.. but might give it a whirl if no luck selling everything ($1000 for all). Cheers!

[@Step-md7pc]

You mentioned that the original person for the Bush machines was helping you would that be Eric Summers? Cause my father and uncle also worked and helped produce the original Summers Bush Machines.

[@ontariotube]

Hi Stephanie,.. Yes, Eric Summers has been very helpful with providing me information. If there's any chance your father and/or uncle would be able to contact me, I think they'd be a valuable addition to my well of info. ([e-mail]) Thanks!!

[@billgator2005]

you mentioned a parts tractor. do you want to sell the wheels and tires? i need 2 rear wheel/tires for my tractor

[@ontariotube]

Sorry, I'll need those as spares.

[@atractorkid7]

@gatorayde2005 I have one of these tractors for parts, I'm in southern Ontario let me know if your interested

[@billgator2005]

@@atractorkid7 i am having trouble finding tires. 18 x 6.5 x 8 on the front, 27 x 9.5 x 15 on the back. with covid things seem to be unavailable

[@atractorkid7]

@@billgator2005 I hear ya, getting anything can be tricky right now. I had a hell of a time just getting a new battery from crappy tire 2 weeks ago. But either way I'll post a video of it today and let me know if your interested in anything off it. I'm just north of barrie
