Identify, old garden tractor

[Drzensen]

My son is bringing home an old garden tractor. Its got 3 colors of paint and I can't find a brand on it. 9hp briggs, horizontal shaft, cat o 3pt

He is also dragging home: yazoo, gibson, jacobson 2stage snow blower, and a no engine no hood garden tractor with tiller. It will all go with the current yard art of 3 farmall cubs. Boy is in scrap metal heaven.

No clue on what make it is but your son did good. That looks like a fun project.

wheel horse not sure about model or year. Looks 70's but they didn't use a lot of Briggs engines during that time. Mostly Kohler and Tecumseh.

Late 60's to early 70's wheel horse.

I don't recall seeing wheelhorse tractors with vertical front grills

I'll put my bet on a Raunch King.... It is raunchy....

The front axle, wheels, transmission shifter and deck height adjuster look Wheel Horse. The grill looks like Bolens.

Definitely not wheel horse, MTD had a model that used that front grill and was rebranded branded through a number of stores so could be a number of models. I had one that had a 16hp b&s, still have the grill hanging in the shed.

I just rememberd the model of the larger one I had (990). Look up MTD 760, since it has the smaller engine.

Finally found my old garden tractor book, the 990 is HST, the 960 was the gear version, but the smaller models with 10hp B&S were the 672/760.
There was also a 8hp model 660. The 660/672 had 34in decks and the 760 had a larger 42"? deck.
If the rear wheels are original the 672, 760etc will have 12in wheels, the 960 will have 15in wheels.

All had the same looking grill and were sold under a number of different names.

I think you're right it likes like an old Sears or Monkey Ward, made by MTD or their predecessor.
