CasualObserver 3,410 #2 Posted December 12, 2011 Well it certainly looks nice... any more story to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeonardS 0 #3 Posted December 12, 2011 I would like to see more photos because I have two, 551's that I will be restoring. Was your engine changed or is it still a 5.5 HP Lauson? I don't see the electric start on it. NICE TRACTOR!! Leonard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,146 #10 Posted December 13, 2011 Are the rear fenders on backwards by any chance? Not hard to see why that thought crossed your mind, but mine was the same way - and it's pretty safe to say that it was never tampered with: Another one that hung out here for a little while: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyhawkTL 19 #12 Posted December 15, 2011 Nice 551. I restored one that my dad bought new. Your fenders look good. The electric start and the charging diodes are missing on yours. The engine is probably a replacement. The original 5.5 design had an oil pump instead of a slinger rod and they threw connecting rods faster than a shuttle launch. Great tractor.
