Pullstart 63,769 #1 Posted 12 hours ago I met a guy through selling some snow plow mounts and wiring, ends up being our girls both wrestle and I made an acquaintance out of him (though we are from rivaling towns). I saw him at a benefit last weekend for a watering hole dive bar that burnt down, and he saw a post I made on FB in a Wheel Horse group. He asked if I wanted an old Wheel Horse. He thought it was a 64. I don’t have any ‘64 round hoods, so I thought what the heck. I threw him the old line of @WHX?? and @Achto’s that any old Wheel Horse not running is worth a hundred bucks. He said he hoped for more, but knowing it would go to a good home he’d take it from me. I think he doubled his money reselling the stuff he bought from me, so that is why he passed it on. It’s been up on a rack for about 6 years he said, and ran then. Getting it down, I saw a deep air filter housing. The thought of a Benjamin 854 was getting me excited! Low and behold, I found the 62- serial and a K-161 under the hood, proving it’s a 702. I guess typing this, I have found its new name. I present: Benjamin. 4 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,769 #2 Posted 12 hours ago I had to pick up a trailer on the way home, to go pick up Mrs. P’s estate sale finds for the weekend, and with the front tires being junk I had to get creative to unload. I reverted back to my skateboard days, and let Benny grind his way down the single ramp. With the transmission drain plug sticking out 3/4” from the case, it was a great easy decent to the ground. 6 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,756 #3 Posted 12 hours ago I thought the 701 had the double pulley set-up 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 42,038 #4 Posted 12 hours ago Looks like you got 3 tractors. A 702 with a 701 engine and genny blended in with a C-160 steering wheel and rear wheels / tires 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,814 #5 Posted 12 hours ago (edited) Nice - a 702 with a 701 double S/G pulley setup?? The 702 guard won't fit without some creative reworking. What is the Kohler model / serial # on the tag?? It could be a 701 motor.... Two prong keyswitch missing?? Tractor IS a 1962 - correct fuel tank / dash, belt guard with the indent for the model, left brake guard with parking brake. Correct toolbox & fenders. The C series rear tires add stability.... Nice to see original style choke & throttle cables..... Edited 11 hours ago by ri702bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,769 #14 Posted 2 hours ago To all who mentioned the double pulley. I didn’t even give it a thought! That outside pulley has the notches for a rope, but it might just be a non-ACR 701 engine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
