Kelly 1,029 #5 Posted November 29, 2012 Very nice, with the front weight and sickle bar!!! from what I can see I'd say it is a 754, not the 753, things that make me say that are, 64 style steering wheel, the battery tray is the 64 and newer style, it does look like it has a 7hp decal on the engine, and I'll have to look at my tractors in a bit it looks like it has the long hood used on the 854 and 754.

TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #23 Posted December 8, 2012 There were 421 754 models specially built by RECo in 1964. They were the marriage of an 854 and a 7hp K-161 engine. Please post the tractor serial number and the engine spec and serial numbers. Glad to see you finally managed to get a real Wheel Horse. :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
