Gentlemen, yet again I solicit your opinion. Am looking at this particular model and I really don't know much about the MTD built Cubs. I understand it has a 16 hp twin (briggs vanguard?), 42" deck with bagger. I'm thinking this would be considered a lawn tractor and not a garden tractor? Can a snow plow be installed? What do you guys think of this machine?

Well i`v got a snow plow on my LT 1046. Works very well. Not a tank like an old Wheel Horse, wish it was. but it does pretty good.
Yep, you can plow or throw snow with it.
The 2164 has the same heavy-duty shaft driven transaxle as the 2500 series "garden tractors" of the day. It just has smaller front and rear tires/wheels.
That trans holds ~6qts of 15w40 and has a large spin-on filter.
The 42" twin blade deck requires the smaller front tires due to the way the deck angles towards the front left for the blade offset.
Great machine. The 42" makes a decent bagger, but due to it's shallow design, can clump and bog-down when cutting grass that's too high for it.
