Sammy 89 #1 Posted June 2, 2020 I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me decode this serial number on my newly bought 1277. If you know production numbers, original price, etc... i would like to find someone that does. Please help me with this tractor! 5 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,342 #2 Posted June 2, 2020 Welcome, she looks pretty clean. 12hp. 7 means hydrostatic drive. And the last 7 is the year. 1967. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 50,476 #3 Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) and yes does look very clean and possibly orginal. Had a deck hanging off it at least once but is sporting the later early 70's and better style mid mount mule drive. Serial does not matter except to our files mod. who may want to record it for archives. Edited June 2, 2020 by WHX24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I’m just looking for more information on it. 18 minutes ago, WHX24 said: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 57,472 #6 Posted June 2, 2020 Good looking 1277, glad you found us. This sales brochure may be interesting to look at, we don't have any production numbers but most of the units sold in 1967 would have been manual 3 speeds and 6 speeds, the Hydros were just too expensive for most buyers. Also, there is a chart showing what implements will fit without modification. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,366 #8 Posted June 3, 2020 That is a beautiful example of a 1277 you have there. My first Horse was a 1277, still have it just trying to find time to do a heart transplant on her. Great machines for mowing, mine has a 48" deck on it and ran it with no problems, the hydrostatic drive makes mowing around obstacles so much easier. You've got the hydraulic lift as well, that's something I hope to find someday. Good luck with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a c-121 with the hydro transmission but manual lift, a 12 automatic with hydro lift and drive, and then we have our pride and joy 1969 gt14 witch is all original with hydro lift and drive. We like hydros, they are so much easier! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 50,476 #10 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Thanks for that fold out Richard you know what a '67 ,fan I am! That's about the only piece of literature I would ever pay for. Curious the six speeds weren't in there tho or did I miss them? I wanna say they went for 7-800 new but don't quote me on that. I know there is a member here who had some vintage price sheets but don't remember who. Edited June 3, 2020 by WHX24 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
