Does anyone here know all about the next three numbers in a typical model # of an MTD LawnFlite mower from the '70s-'90s? I mean, any experts, so as to make a database of such models to help clue in for others?

One example is 120-335. The "120" signifies a power-propelled walk-behind mower for the calendar years 1970, 1980 or 1990, depending on which bodystyle was used in that decade. This example points to the year 1980.
The "335" is the deck style referring to a 20" wide cut, rear discharge, front-wheel cog-driven power drive, and 3.5 HP Briggs & Stratton 4-cycle engine (model 92988 or 93588). (Years 1977 to 1982 = example: 1980 model is 120-335)
"350" signifies a 4 HP Briggs & Stratton 4-cycle engine (model 110988) with the same features as the 335 but with a 22" wide cut. (Years 1977 to 1982 = example: 1980 model is 120-350)
"294" signifies a 22" wide cut, rear-wheel belt drive, side discharge, aluminum deck, single lever height adjustment, 4 HP B&S engine and blade brake clutch system. (Years 1981 to 1984 = example: 1983 model is 123-294)
