steelhorse 35 #1 Posted July 11, 2015 Just picked this craftsman up believe it to be a early 60's cannot find any info for sure though, has a strange wind up lever on motor then a release lever to start instead of a pull start but don't see any other tags with the body on it other than 6 hp. pretty cool looking though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WNYPCRepair 1,918 #2 Posted July 11, 2015 I remember a similar starting system from when I was a kid. You wound it up, flipped the lever over on top of the motor and pushed down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,321 #5 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Looks like a 1965 Craftsman 6 HP rider to me. Check the internet, start your search off with 1965, I could be off by a year either way. Edited July 11, 2015 by 953 nut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,969 #7 Posted July 19, 2015 I was sorting out some of my old LAGT magazines today and there was a few pics and an article about one of those. Yours should have a three speed transmission. The 5hp model was single speed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
