[QUOTE="Fester, post: 369503, member: 6300"] Not correct..MTD and John deere decks are not the same. Engines such as a Briggs yes or transmision sure..but the frames and decks are manufactured from John deere directly..atleast from what I could find. MTD makes other brands this is correct. ARe they the same quality as an MTD sure you could argue that but they are not the same die press for the decks nor do they manufacture the frames. Bearings from the same manufacturer? Sure, good chance, hour timer? Sure good chance, PTO clutch Sure good chance but again ALL manufacturers do that regardless of how you want to say they manufacturer there own parts. No different then vehicles..to say they are MTD like..are you saying the quality is the same? Allen stated his d170 was basically an MTD which that it is not. That's like saying his chevy(if he owns one) is a ford..hey they use ford tranny right..bosch efi??...they do the same thing mower manufacturers do but they are not the same. Tuff torque is the tranny used in John deere...look who all uses that tranny. [/QUOTE]
