DMK855 15 #1 Posted August 1, 2010 Just picked up this 552 and trailer today 10 minutes from home. It does not have the correct engine, but I have a start/gen/ K181 that will allow me to put the hood back on!! The 8 hp Tec. will come in handy for other projects, or I will sell it!! The hood was saved and not cut up to fit like others I have seen. Also included the oe seat pan, but is cracked!! The trailer will need some metal work or a new pan. The rear lip is rotted away. The PO stated that the original owner used to cover it with fertilzer bags!! Here are some pics..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DMK855 15 #10 Posted August 2, 2010 Thanks everyone. It is a very well maintained machine and is in great shape compared to my 702. I will have to flip around the one tire as mentioned. Cleaned it up and put it with the rest of the group!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMK855 15 #11 Posted August 2, 2010 One of few that don't have that hood chopped as a result of the engine swap! NICE! Charlie I was shocked when the PO said that the hood was off only because he didn't want to cut it up!! Most people don't think that way!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
