I have looked on ebay and searched but have not had any luck. Could it be manufactured under another name? Any help would be appreciated.
If you go to the manufacturer's web site, you might find one there that you can download. It probably was manufactured by another company, like Ranch King, out of Cleveland. They make a lot of different tractors and just put any name that they want to, on them.

The general rule of thumb is that the lawn size is more than 3/4 acre.
He has a lawn of about 1/2 acre. However, mowing the lawn is getting tiring (although he used to mow the lawn) because he is 62 yrs old, and walking for 1.5 hrs on the lawn will be very tiring, especially in hot days. True, he can hire a landscape company to mow his lawn, but this is expensive. He figures out that the cost of his new riding lawn mower can be paid back in 2 years if he does the mowing himself this summer.
Of course he needs a riding mower. I'm only 49 and I wouldn't spend an hour and a half mowing the lawn. I have too much other stuff to do in a day.
If it snowed outside and you had a riding lawn mower with a mulcher or bag would it pick up the snow?

Ok yesterday at a BP gas station while parked and cleaning my car out. So guy (from a lawn care service, hired by BP) ran his riding mower into my bumper and messed it up. I called my insurance and they said an adjuster would call me. But I dont want my insurance to pay. What do I tell them. Should I get his insurance or his companies? Also, if I can prove on tape its not my fault, will it be onmy record/premiums go up? Thanks ALot
If you are going to file a claim under your policy than your insurance company will increase the premium considering this as an accident. You have already called the insurance company and so you will have to inform them that you are not interested in making a claim and that the person who damaged it at the gas station would be paying you. You can ask the gas station to pay for it. I am sure the owner will get you car repaired.
I am about to purchase an open trailer to transport my ride on lawn mower. It is just pretty much a flat bed 5 by 8 feet trailer; I plan on storing it in my garage. I have ensured that it will properly fit my car using a proper hitch, ball etc. I am a bit apprehensive about maintaining and pulling the trailer- it’s my first time.
I wanted to please ask your general thoughts about maintaining and moving the trailer. In particular, I wanted to please ask:
* How should I drive the trailer into my garage for storage? Any special tips?
* What should I be sure to do when securing the trailer to the car- that may not be obvious?
* While pulling the trailer is there anything special that I should be aware of?
* How do I maintain the trailer i.e. do I need to lubricate the axel etc?
* Are there any other tips that I should keep in mind?
Some things have come up:
* Currently the top of my hitch (input for bar) is 11.5 inches from the ground. From the bottom of the ball (not the stem) to the start of the curve on the hitch ball is 1.5 inches. That is 13 inches from the ground to the bottom curve on the ball. However, when I re-measured the trailer, holding it parallel to the floor it was about 11.5 to 12 inches from the bottom of the receiver to the ground. Should I use a straight, declining or increasing hitch bar to change the height of the ball?
* I noticed that some people have a jack to raise their trailer when it is parked. Is that necessary for what I am doing?
* How tight should I make the safety chains? I don't want it to interfere with turns, but at the same time I want some protection.
Caution needs to be exercised when learning how to pull a trailer.
Make sure the trailer is tagged and legal: lights operate,etc.
Find a safe area to practice backing/turning it. Remember,you have to steer your vehicle opposite of the way you intend to turn the trailer while backing. Practice,practice,practice.
Expect to make slightly wider turns so not to hit objects on the curb!
As far as maintenance,always grease the axle,etc.
Make sure the chains are hooked to your hitch just in case it ever comes off the ball hitch.
As for getting it in your garage,they make mini speed bump type deals that you place on your garage floor. These work by feeling yourself back over them and stopping immediately Measure a safe distance between your back wall and the trailer tires. Place the "bumper" there.
What#39;s the Difference Between MTD Lawn Tractors and Garden Tactors?
The general rule of thumb is that if your lawn exceeds 100 ft. sq., then it might be worth it to consider the time saving investment of a riding tractor. A riding mower might be a bit of overkill if your lawn is any smaller, but there's no law against taking it easy if the idea of shaded, drink-holder-access mowing is just too irresistible. Some patented MTD riding tractor options actually affect the compatibility of some types of attachments. Many models of MTD tractors include their special AutoDrive™ system that makes driving a tractor much like driving a car. Attachments for MTD AutoDrive™ models are made for fast installation by virtue of another patented design feature,...
