12 hp Kohler 1,014 #1 Posted March 24, 2017 I just picked up this wheel horse for $100, I know it doesn't have the original engine, but I'm not sure what model the tractor is. I originally was under the impression that is was an 854 but it doesn't appear to be that.if anyone has an idea of the model I would like to know. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HorseFixer 2,013 #4 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Your going to have to be a private detective look underneath and measure the bolt distances Width (side to side) Length (front to rear) where the original engine was bolted down and then do a comparison to see if a Kohler 702 or Techy 502 or 552 was in it. A 502 was pull start and 552 was electric start. That will get you closer to really know. Good Luck! Edited March 24, 2017 by HorseFixer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #5 Posted March 24, 2017 its more than likely a early 753. look at front axle its not a 62 axle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,158 #6 Posted March 24, 2017 Looks like a 1963 serial number Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12 hp Kohler 1,014 #7 Posted March 24, 2017 Ok thanks for the info I will check that stuff out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,378 #8 Posted March 24, 2017 I think Garry nailed it again. It's not a 64 based on the steering wheel and not a 62 based on the front axle. The 854 also had a different dash plate and I think I see a starter switch which wasn't on the 64's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,956 #9 Posted March 24, 2017 The 1962s did not have the star wheel for the lift lever...it is a 1963. Now check the bolt holes to see if the Tecky or the Kohler would be original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
