That looks similar to the one I used to cut grass with many years ago. Does it have a cogged tooth belt on the mower deck?

 

[tractorguy1200]

yea it does the deck is in a rectangular shape as well, and u turn on the deck by pushing down on a belt tighter pedal on the deck

Yep, that's it, except ours didn't have headlights. Dad traded it in on a Cub Cadet 106.
