ri702bill 8,326 #2 Posted August 1, 2023 I'll take a stab at it - mid 70's "no name" tractor - what does the tag on the fan shroud say??? ... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,530 #3 Posted August 1, 2023 Well. Kohler small block. Likely an 8 HP. Looks like an 8 speed transmission. Also has holes for a hood ornament which should place it before 1975. I'd say 1973 8 HP, 8 speed or a slightly earlier 8 like a 70 to 72 Raider. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,756 #4 Posted August 1, 2023 @mower In the last picture, it looks like the black and silver ID tag is on the hood stand, below the steering wheel, in front of the lift lever. Tell us the numbers on it and we can identify it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thatoneguy 197 #6 Posted August 1, 2023 I have not picked it up yet but should be home with it tomorrow! Found it locally! which is rare for where i am at! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,756 #7 Posted August 1, 2023 Well another one bites the dust to the addition! He has his first one in pieces and is already picking up the second one. @mower Don't bother trying to tell us its a "parts machine" for the first one, we've all been where you are and were here to support you! But you can use that one on the wife a time or two. How's that go.. its a parts machine for the first one, then the third is a parts machine to use up the other parts you had left from the second one. etc etc. Hope you have good reflexes and can duck fast when the frying pan comes out on the 3rd one. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinco 33 #14 Posted August 3, 2023 I find that my wife being at home is a severe hindrance to my acquisition of parts or projects. I can usually semi-hide stuff if I can get it home and put away while she's not here, but she's on me like white on rice if she's here. Always something about not needing more junk, get rid of stuff, etc... 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In your case, Eric, it could just as easily been your woman who put the trans in there. Or running parts through the dishwasher. Hanging painted tins on the clothesline to dry. Etc. You are a lucky man. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thatoneguy 197 #16 Posted August 3, 2023 Luckily my wife is civil and I can pretty much buy 15 and she wouldn’t care. Sometimes she comes down there to get in my way but I enjoy her company as I don’t have any shop buddies that come over. My 20x20x10 shop with a 18x25 awning on the side is plenty big enough for all the “crap” I dig up. This is my latest project. I will be picking the new horse up Friday afternoon as soon as I can!!! Hopefully he does not sell it out from under me! BTW she knows if I need more parts storage half her closet will be gone! No need for video evidence! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep that's the one. 1973 was known as the "no-name" year. 1968-72 the Herd had names like Charger, Raider, Electro. 1974 up. They were the "letter series". A. B. C. D. 1973 carries no such designation. Your new Horse is simply called a '73 8 8. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thatoneguy 197 #20 Posted August 6, 2023 I’m no expert but I am pretty sure water is not suppose to be dripping from the rear end…. Looks like I will be tearing into my first rear end/gearbox down the road… 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can tell one end of a box wrench from a ball peen hammer you'll be just fine. @stevasaurus has a bunch of good videos out there. I made one about splitting the case open. Easy peasy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh the trusty hammer!!! Do you take boxes apart with this said “box wrench”? I may have to consult the expert in this case as he was showing me how to weedeat today! 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thatoneguy 197 #23 Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Anyone tell me what horse this is? I may be able to buy for 75$.. Would it be worth it? They say the rear end is locked up and motor has not been ran in some time.... Thoughts? Edited August 7, 2023 by Thatoneguy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,902 #24 Posted August 7, 2023 The wrong engine, but it looks to be a ‘64 model. I’d say it’s worth it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
