A neighbor has an old riding mower I'm trying to fix for him. I took the gear box apart and found what appears to be a clutch collar broke in half. I cannot find what kind of rider it is. Here is everything I can find on the machine. On the body, under the seat is Model# 139-465-084 C309D. Serial# 41-010-9485. On the engine is Model# 190707, Type 1128-01, Code 78092710. On the transmission casing reads MTD. On the engine cowling is Turf King 8/34. There is no indication of manufacturer or date of manufacture. I'm at a loss and hoping someone here can give some guidance. Thanks. :help:

Welcome to the forum smusaf60!

So far I'm not having any luck. I think Turf King was sort of a generic name used that could be more then one manufacture. Any idea how old it is?

Also a photo might help us figure out the manufacture.

Looks like MTD is the key there. Here is a listing from wikipedia:

MTD Products - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the private brands, Turf King is one that is listed. A search through
google also turns up that Turf King is what the Fred Meyer stores named
their mowers. Thought I recognized that name from somewhere....believe I must have seen it when browsing through some Fred Meyer ads up in the Pacific Northwest a year ago.

Welcome to MLF smusaf60! Looks like ToroW. has got you on track. I can tell you that engine seriel # is a Briggs and Stratton engine.

This list on Parts Tree is getting in the neighborhood of your serial number. Though not yours specifically, it seems there's a lot of them with the 139 prefix that share the same transmission on here. Take a look, maybe you'll recognize one.

Using what ToroWhirlwind found on the Turf King name, there is this model 39-612-084, Lawn Tractor (1989) (Fred Meyer)

Here's another thing you might try. MTD has been very helpful to me in locating information on a couple of their non-current machines that I worked on in the past.

You might try dropping them an email with the numbers you have.

Hope that helps, let us know what you find out.

From my research, I was able to find it is a 1979 model. My neighbor thought it was a Montgomery Ward brand but finding that part is gonna be a real problem. I'm hoping to find a lawn mower boneyard somewhere. I'm having issues downloading a photo from my phone but I'll keep working on it. Thanks for all the input guys.

Thanks for the update, we'll be waiting patiently for them photos Your lawn mower boneyard may be as simple as the local mower shop. A lot of them have have a small parts yard out back some where behind the shop. Thats where I find some of my gems...:bag:
