WHX?? 48,815 #1 Posted May 17 (edited) I pretty much know what it is already but let you guys have some fun. Should be a easy one. Give ya the whole story on it then. Motor's free ... tranny has water in it. Few things missing but no deal breakers. 1/2 mile down the road. Edited May 17 by WHX?? Speeling 2 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,883 #3 Posted May 17 It’s gotta be a ‘63 or ‘64 based on the lift arm or lack thereof. The big air cleaner tells me 854, or just the wrong air cleaner… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,000 #5 Posted May 17 Doesn't that key indicate 63 ? I'm with Dan on 753 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,081 #6 Posted May 17 I'm going with the 753. 63 Steering wheel, 3 lug rear hubs and actually Kevin, that air cleaner is probably correct for a 7hp. The 8hp had a deeper one that required a longer hood. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SG motor... missing coil tho and why did someone move the coil bracket to the back side of the motor? It did have all the factory holes for moving the start & ignition switch to the left side of the tank stand for a HY. So this guy stops at my place last year plow day. Sees all the horses and says he's got one that needs a front wheel. Got the round hood he says. OK now I gotta go have a look see. Yep sure enough. Now this guy was very nice fella but obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Cash crop growing in between all the junk. Says he hopes they legalize it soon... Had illusions of grandeur for it tilling and mowing and being a stout worker. Well I says might be but you got a long row to hoe. Tank is gonna leak, no lift, everthing rusted & froze up, f plate cracked, fan gear to steering shaft blown, tranny seals leaking & bad bearings from being water cooled & just a host of other stuff. Told him not much is gonna save this save a frame off mechanical which given the shape of the rest of his place was highly doubtfull was going to happen by him anyway. Offer him a Franklin... He politely declines & lets out he got it for free. Told him I would have the parts to fix it but wasn't exactly gonna give them away and doubted he had a window to throw the pee pot out of. Clued him in about the labor of love thing. Begged him not to scrap it things don't work out and my offer stands. Edited May 17 by WHX?? 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
