Very nice original 550.  Not only has the Tillotson carb, but the shield over it as well.  Where is the starter solenoid located on it?  Can you take a pic?

Thank you. 
I’ll take a picture of the solenoid sometime, but it will be a bit as it is still in my friends garage. I need to make room for it at my place.

Looks to be in front of the engine.

Was the factory location on the toolbox under the seat? I've never owned a 550

Jacob does really like that plow! Last time we seen it, it was in your landscaping!!! Maybe this year ya let him pull it again!

You bet that's what's its for. Being seasonal yard art it's starting to patina. I got it from Dino at the very first plow day.

Funny thing is, I need room for this 550 and I just bought another Deere 332 on Monday. 🤦‍♂️

 

My friend that i got the 550 from said i can keep it at his place for a while yet,  I might need to take him up on it. He is only 2 miles away.

I was skeptical at first with mine,  but I really like that lauson engine.  I disconnected the electrical and just pull start it.  It's a really smooth running engine.  I like the sticker on yours, nice survivor
