    Ive got an MTD 18/44 with an incline assistance brake. I always thought it helped to stop the wheel spinning if you lost grip on one tyre.

    Just a tip... When you get tractors that have been sitting a while, what I usually do is shoot a bunch of WD-40 into the plug hole and manually turn it over a few times, just to make sure that the rings aren't stuck to the cylinder. Then i use the starter to turn it over for a few seconds to blast out the WD-40. Then reinstall the plug and try to fire it up.

    1:15 The incline assistance brake simply causes resistance and make the positraction engage, same as in a regular car, if you pull and hold the hand brake release and press the emergency brake then both wheels grab instead of just one.

    I have a 1987 MTD yard man with that incline assistance brake, the only thing about mine is it is an actual 5 speed rear end without varidrive. so it does help going down hills a little bit when the brakes are actually functional.

And I'm glad I did, because you taught me how to find out when Briggs and Stratton engines were manufactured! I've always wanted to know how to do that! You're officially the coolest guy in my sub box. :)

We left our old MTD Yard Machine sitting for almost 7 years outside Snow, Rain and Sun. I started this week (July 2018) and with new gas... It fired up right away... I tell you, these Motors NEVER quits!

    • @quixkiwi5337
      @quixkiwi5337 5 лет назад +1

      INCLINE (going down one WITHOUT disengaging the main drive ensures that the drive belts DO NOT LOOSEN when a brake is needed, unlike the main foot clutch/brake which disengages drive to put the brakes on LOOSENING THE DRIVE BELTS which then flop around, and as happened with mine (no incline hand-brake) the drive belts flipped off the variable drive pulley and wedged inside the variable drive itself, end of a belt and no way to fix it myself..

  • @The_Mace
    @The_Mace 13 лет назад +1

    I think the "incline assist brake" is like the hill-assist in some cars... It's an added feature to keep the tractor from rolling backwards down a hill if you take your foot off the clutch / brake pedal, when you stop on an uphill climb. I could be wrong...

    I've got that incline brake on a murray LT11 except it's called "hill hold." Given that the murray's clutch pedal is more like a two-way switch, I guess it's for it you want to slow down the tractor without having to stop and change gears. On the MTD, though, I wouldn't see the point of one given how the vari-drive works.

    • @quixkiwi5337
      @quixkiwi5337 5 лет назад

      Oh yeah - wish I'd had one before going DOWN a steep incline in drive mode, then had to disengage drive to operate main brakes - with the instant result of a loose main drive belt flipping UIP off it's variable drive pulley and wedging itself into the vari-drive mechanism - end of all drive, broken belt and now I can't get it OUT of the vari-drive to replace the belt.
      All for the want of a simple HAND-BRAKE lever (which mine didn't have...

    The best use of that NOW (with no deck cutters) is as a tow around tractor - for towing a trailer, or small garden fertiliser spreader, and can easily be converted into a tank-equipped tractor for operating as a weed sprayer.
    Or - use it as this: ruclips.net/video/A9yPJieKt-I/видео.html
    By just adding several store trolleys on the back / behind this - (all laid over and hitched one after the other, with plastic barrels on them), and get PAID to have fun - being the driver of a kids barrel train..
    NO need to mow ANY grass then see (maybe smoke some - but not advisable)

      It's for NOT having to disengage main drive (for the main brakes) going DOWN an incline.
      I don't have that on my MTD which is why - when going down an incline too steep recently, my MAIN DRIVE BELT "became" too loose as the brakes were applied (thus disengaging the drive clutch mechanism loosening the V-belt itself) which then flipped up into the variable drive pulley unit and JAMMED (somehow inside the variable drive mechanism itself, completely between the two variable pulleys) as I had to brake EXTREMELY hard to stop the machine running away .!!!
      THAT was the last time I was able to use it, as the belt is now BROKEN as well as firmly wedged into the variable drive pulley itself (lodged extremely tightly - somewhere between the two V pulleys)

    • @quixkiwi5337
      @quixkiwi5337 5 лет назад

      NO - it's for holding the thing from running away DOWNHILL, when the main clutch/brake should NOT be operated.
      My MTD does NOT have a hand lever "incline" (handbrake) lever, thus when mine ran away down a steep incline I HAD to operate the clutch to press HARD on the main brakes, and that's why my main drive belt became too loose & flipped off into the varidrive mechanism, - end of belt - end of any drive and no way to get the stuck belt "remains" out of the varidrive's mechanism ..THAT is what the hand brake lever is for - not for any invalid, who couldn't be on one anyway.. as they would not be able to disengage drive at any time..
