bds1984 1,466 #1 Posted March 29, 2016 As I was going through the local junk yard for some parts to convert my 520H to have foot pedals last week, I came across this little stallion that needs someone to rescue him. A 653? I don't know these machines too well but it did shift through all the gears and the deck seemed pretty solid. Seems like someone can save this from the crusher.... 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rj35hunter 285 #4 Posted March 29, 2016 That is a 633....I have one, very cool tractor and not seen everyday. Made in 1963 and had the tool box where the battery would be on a electric start model. It came with the odd 6.3 Kohler recoil engine....needs to be saved for sure! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bds1984 1,466 #5 Posted March 29, 2016 Well if anyone near by wants to try to save it, it is located at Light Truck Parts in Kalamazoo, on Lake St. There is also an Electrac 145? there but missing batteries. If nothing more, it is a cool place to walk through and look at the old iron. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,630 #6 Posted March 29, 2016 Tell them you'll pay 10% over scrap price . If I were closer I'd be saving that one , make it roller . To many good parts on that for it to sit there . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 64,539 #8 Posted March 29, 2016 was it 63 or 64 that steering was upgraded to the "new" style? Maybe it would have a tighter radius than my 502? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The steering wheel went to the newer two spoke in 64, so that 63 would be the same as the 62 models Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,539 #13 Posted March 29, 2016 What about the steering links on the axle? Seems like it was 64, but I'm not positive. I haven't made the jump in the truck yet.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
