Introduction

MTD 380 Lawn Tractor

The MTD 380 is a lawn tractor produced between 1972 and 1981, designed for residential lawn maintenance. This compact machine features a simple mechanical configuration focused on basic mowing tasks.

Engine and Power

The tractor is powered by a 5 hp (3.7 kW) Briggs & Stratton 130000 series engine. This is a single-cylinder, air-cooled gasoline engine with a 206 cc (12.57 ci) displacement and a vertical-shaft configuration. Starting is primarily achieved via a manual recoil system, with an optional electric starter available.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The MTD 380 utilizes a belt-driven gear transmission system, providing one forward and one reverse gear. Maneuverability is managed through manual steering and a two-wheel drive system. Power delivery to attachments is facilitated by an independent mid-mounted Power Take-Off (PTO), which is engaged via a manual idler pulley clutch.

Chassis and Dimensions

The machine features an open operator station design. It is equipped with turf-specific tires, measuring 10.25x3.25 at the front and 13x5.0 at the rear, intended to minimize lawn surface damage. The tractor has a shipping weight of 302 lbs (136 kg) and is factory-equipped with a 26-inch mower deck.
