Cool mower, Srisikie!! 
You don't often see reel mowers with body covers like that as much, that is pretty cool. My guess is that it is a later built unit. It sure is in nice well preserved shape! Very clean. :fing32:
I second Bruce about looking up the year of the engine. This should give you an idea of when the mower itself was built. I would also contact MTD, give them your serial number and see what they can provide you with in terms of a date and possibly any other information like possibly an owners manual etc. If not, I would keep an eye out on Ebay for one.
Keep us updated and have fun with it!
Have you tried using it yet or getting it running if it doesn't already?
