Beautiful horse Jim !!  My guess, the check balls in the fuel pump are stuck...carb cleaner.  :occasion-xmas:

Awesome find, great story too!  If you’d like some red luster back, a nice easy wet sand with soapy water and 600+ sand paper to cut some rust off would be a wonderful idea.  Just spraying it with WD40 for a while might bring some red out too, but it sure looks brown!

Beautiful tractor. I sold my all original 701 a few years ago that was in great shape. I definitely regret doing so.  It’s still local but the guy restored it.

I'll update this thread as I do maintenance on it and get it running.

 

That is an impressive machine. I had two 701s, and neither was that nice. I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

      So just picked up a 701, obviously the engine isn't right. I have a 7hp Kohler to put on and will put B&S on my Speedex. Anyone ever seen a post come out on the right from the rock shaft? It rotates with the lift handle and has no holes in it. It was done up well, almost looking factory.

      Hi all,
       
      i bought this 1961 701 in fall of 2018 and restored it. I completed it in fall of 2019 and I wanted to show some pictures of before during and after I got it done. I did my research and tried to make this tractor as close to original as possible. The few exceptions are tires, wiring and the steering support. Not a perfect tractor but sure is nice enough for me.
