Sidewinder, IMHO, MTD improved what IH made. The Cyclops were the last true garden tractors built by MTD but the 3000 series are great mowing machines. I agree with John on the Farmall Cub. I owned one and it was pretty cool but I couldn't use it as a weekly mowing machine but they are pretty cool in the garden.
The 982 was the biggest IH built but the largest deck available was a 50" cut. MTD used better engines and decks than IH did. The 1872/2072 is an improved 982 with a larger deck available, power steering, more standard options and a better driveline. The Cyclops SGT's are an improved 1872/2072.
