What is this lawn tractor and is this a good one.  It has a total electrical failure.  Runs great with all wiring disconnected and starter jumped.

The vertical engine 200 series riding lawn mowers are designed to mow lawns and pull a lawn cart.  The frame and transmission are not designed for ground engaging implements.

I have never owned one, but I hear they are a good mower.

1994 is the model year

So would this be a 264-H?

 

And although not a classic, is this worth fixing up to use strictly as a mowing machine?

I’ve worked on one of these. I was quite impressed at how sturdy and well put together it was.

I agree completely with earlier posts that these are not the machines for plowing (dirt or snow) or pulling a cultivator, etc. The “frame” is heavy stamped sheet metal vs. a welded frame and cast iron transaxle. But with proper maintenance IMHO it's a great lawn mower or garden cart puller.

I was thinking it would be a fixer upper as the command pro engines are one of my favorite, and this one runs really smooth.
