I Have just bought an MTB ride-on mower with a 12hp briggs & stratton engine.Its a 5 speed and has the model no.618-0077 and serial no.A-132046 on a sticker on the transaxle.Would you please be able to tell me what model it is? and would you have a manual on this model?

Ride on,

We have just uploaded a workshop manual 1640 pages that I am sure will cover your ride on transaxle. It is located in the parts list and manuals area. cheers2

Thanks for your help Bruce,but i can't access that page?
Joe..I should have said that i already tried the MTB site but those numbers mean nothing to them.
ps I'm having trouble getting the engine to crank with the deck belt connected.How do i check that the tension is correct?

Hi Butting in Please excuse If you got the specs you mention off the tranaxle then they probably refer only to the transaxle. The plate with the model details should be on the back end of the mower or possly under the seat .area Cheers Joe

Thanks joe but there's nothing else there.
I took her out for a test cut today and did two laps before the needle bearings in the variable speed pulley seized...I'v got the bearings out and will replace them.I also decided to replace the noisy blade spindle bearings,can they be replaced or do i have to buy new spindles?
thanks

Hi Ride on Replacing bearings depends on the constructionof the spindles .Yanks Call them Jackshafts.. I have changed lots by drilling out the rivets etc holding the things together . Mostly they are sold as an assembly and not repairable item but there is always a way around these things
