Will 0 #1 Posted April 7, 2011 According to the Operation and Service Manual CD, the difference between the 605 and the 655 is that the 655 has an electric starter controlled by the ignition key and the 605 has an ignition key and a pull start. The sticker on the belt guard and model and serial number plate say my tractor is a 605. It has both a pull start and an electric starter. You turn on the ignition then push a separate starter button on the dash. Was the electric starter and option or did I just get lucky because a previous owner modified it? :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AEarlCheal 1 #4 Posted August 7, 2012 I have a WH tractor that has been painted over. It has 3 speeds forward and reverse and a high and low range. I guess it is considered an 8 speed. I found the only data plate under the dash and it was painted over the information as I can best tell is as follows: 1 605T 695278 From what I have been able to determine, it appears the 605 was made in 1965 but was a 4 speed. I wonder if the T after 605 designates the 8 speed transmission. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
