JOHN B. - We discussed those M&W front mounted mowers over on the RPM forum 2-3 years ago. Bill DeTurk knew a lot about them. http://www.redpowermagazine.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59430&hl=m%26amp%3Bw+mower

There's probably one or two out there to be found yet.

Another interesting topic here. http://www.redpowermagazine.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72793&hl=m%26amp%3Bamp%3Bw+mower#entry678144

John B, no M&W, but a Mott front mount for CC on CL /Mad City. Located in Hazel Green. I saw that M&W mower Bill ( Geezer) had at the RPRU 2010 in LaPorte.... PWR

Dennis, I've messaged Mr DeTurck.... I got an original on Sunday morning and it has the Grille with the reinforcement hole and trim plates for the mower. Wwas hoping I could find someone who needed that to complete thier prized possession! Thanks Charlie - Who's original did you post? they need the grille!

I forgot the CC had duals! It looks a little too wide to make it through that doorway.

Wonder if HYDRO-GIRL knows about "Blunier RAMMING SPEED"?

Thanks Kraig for the tips. I will check out the inside tonight. I do not recall seeing any rust but will grab some slip plate.

Another question, i see a 125 on my local CL. Would like a hydrostatic over a clutch for the ease of operation for the family. My concern is the hydrostatic system. Is there anything i should be looking at/for. It sounds like the engine doesn't run right now. Do the piston pumps on these last?
thanks

Matt , the Hydro units are very durable with proper maintenance...Full of HyTran, yearly filter changes. FAQ has maintenance tips, etc.
