Montgomery ward garden tractor

I believe I have about an 81 Montgomery ward garden tractor with rear end problems. The only tag with numbers is under the seat. It says it is the model and serial numbers but I can not come up with any information on it. The numbers are: mdl- 139 498 054 and ser- 81 2269 D129C. The 8 in the ser # is scratched in half, might be a 3 , 8 , or a B. there is no deck, has a 11 hp B&S, I believe the engine is original. The rear end is a gear drive H pattern with a hi lo along side the seat. The rear end has broke "spiders gears" in the differential. (Two small gears on a short shaft inside the ring that drives the two gears on the axle shafts. Any help or info would greatly be appreciated.
 
Is your MW a garden tractor or a lawn tractor?

I have some Montgomery Wards garden tractors to sell with mower decks.
 
Gilson made a very good tractor. I bought this one in 1971. Hal

Does it look like the picture El Toro posted. I have one like that in my garage that hasn't moved in years. The problem with mine is the little 4x4x4" right angle gearbox. The gears are stripped inside. But the rear axle is ok. Where are you located?
 
The mod# of tractor appears to be a mtd mod#,doing a quick check online the oldest lawn tractor by mtd I could find is an 85,if differential is chain driven from trans,goto link below & click on parts lookup,in mtd listings select lawn tractors,from list select legacy series 85-99,in mtd listings in this series look at differential assembly drawing/ parts list for mod# 135-395-000(85)see if the same/similiar to yours OR if unsure goto mtd website & get customer support phone# and give them a call,they may be able to backtrack your mod# tractor.

It is a lawn tractor. The trans/rearend is belt driven. And there is a mark on case: foote 3265 and foote 3264. Guessing those would be part #s for the cases. I need break down and part #s for those gears if I can get them. Or if someone had them.
A model or year of it would help also.
 
To help determine yr of tractor,look at code# on eng,the first two numbers in same are yr eng made.

After that goto link below,click on spicer logo at home pg,next pg click on parts list,look at assembly drawing/parts list for foote 4010 transaxle before/after 12/79 depending on eng yr,see if it matches your transaxle.
