Remember the 2086 panels don't share the same muffler and cooling slot cut-out pattern as the 2182 or 1782, same idea, but a different program. Sam is right though, not sure you know what you are getting yourself into! It has been a shame that so many of these machines were scrapped or parted out because MTD has chosen discontinue so many parts for this series of tractors.

My guess is OCC type owners are MTD's worst nightmare. If we can't buy it new we get PO'd and make it ourselves. How do you like me now MTD? We have been forced to be like the Cubans keeping 1950's vintage Chebbys running
