Round Hood Help

[Ed Kennell 38,165]

What izit?      The engine numbers (7HP   T 74969    28937E)   indicate a 704 with a Lawn Ranger hood  ?

Are Lawn Ranger and 704 hoods identical but for the decals?

Is the seat correct for a 704?

The belt guards don't seem to fit.  Any idea what they are?

The fenders seem to fit.

Missing a console plate and a left side panel and correct belt guard ?

Does the gas tank look correct?

The hood for a 704 and a Lawn Ranger L156 share the same part # 4975

Ed -  The broken 2 spoke steering wheel look to be correct, the belt guard with no decal indentation does not - only one like that - that I know of  - is the 701.

Didn't the Lawn Ranger come with a 6 HP yank start Tecumseh??? The GOOD thing is that the hood is not cut below the upper steering shaft to aid easy removal....

The 867 also shared the lack of ID on the belt guard.

Thanks Bill, Yes I think the Lawn Rangers only came with Teckys.

Great, thanks Dan.     Any ideas on the seat and fuel tank pictured with the fenders and belt guards.

i believe the seat is wrong, should be the rectangular (or square??) pan seat.... but that one is the one to have after a bean dinner...

The manual pictures a square pan seat. Which would fit in with the '61 to '64 models.

If engine mount tab for the belt guard is on top it is for a Kohler. If the engine mount tab is in the middle it is for a Techy.

Parts manual shows an oval gas tank.

Fenders look correct for a 704

Lawn Ranger, 604,654, 704 use that hood

Gas tank is a Briggs and not correct

Seat is the style for RJs and Suburbans

Fenders are just like a 604,654 and? So is the frame. I'm not that familiar with Lawn Rangers so...might be the same

My first guess is a modified Lawn Ranger by someone else that thinks those tiny front tires look ridiculous.

 The dash/ rear hood stand is not correct for a Ranger. The Ranger uses a 2 piece stand held together on the sides with 4 bolts.

 

I'm going to stick with 704 that has some other pieces thrown at it here & there.

 

I do agree that the 4" rims look silly on a LR

Thanks Mike, so my engine las a rope start.   Can the rope start be replaced with the rewind?     Is that the part I see advertised fo big bucks?

A few options there. You can use a Morris Fairbanks recoil, Techy recoil, I think Kohler might have even made their own recoil. Important thing is to get the matching cup that bolts to the fly wheel with the recoil you find / choose.

[squonk 41,097]

Yes a Tecky recoil works. Make sure you get a " low mileage " one.
