Pullstart 62,922 #2 Posted March 3, 2021 I like it, except the seat spring is backwards and it’s super tall in the seat pan! Then again, I’ve done things that were not 100% on point too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 8,352 #4 Posted March 3, 2021 Yup, I agree with all of you - but... on the plus side - bonus points for the 6 matching ag tires ,the nicely done stack and the original "suitcase" cutting deck..... on the not so plus side - wrong S/G guard, no hood stand supports, wrong steering wheel, 701 style straight shift lever, and the radiator cap style gas cap. I guess the extra holes in the hood (with the wrong fasteners) are to aid side cooling???? Dennis - how much was the owner asking ? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone needs to document everything you just said because someday no one will remember. Quite possible that the builder didn't know, couldn't find out and possibly never even know.

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #6 Posted March 3, 2021 Not sure about the way the rear tires are bolted together. Seems there would be a possibility of the tire slipping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,767 #7 Posted March 3, 2021 Actually, the straight shifter was standard factory on the 1962 horses...702, 502, 552. The angled shifter came with the HY-2 when ordered and then became factory later that year because of the HY-2. Those holes in the hood are most likely where head lights were mounted before restoration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen that done before. I'm thinking those 4 bolts probably pull the wheels, not just the tires, right together but that either way, they would work. I think spaces are to spread the tread. Now, all this is coming from someone who has never had duals done any way at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,389 #9 Posted March 3, 2021 A little too much white for my taste but it's a nice looking tractor any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeek 2,286 #10 Posted March 3, 2021 That's a cool tractor. I like it because it unique and no one else will have the exact same thing. I like the rear tires and how they did the rim mounts, but not a fan of ag's on non-4WD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the rear tires and how they did the rim mounts, but not a fan of ag's on non-4WD I really like the dual rears. Practical but not overdone. And I feel your pain regarding the fronts. They give a fake 4WD look and I've never liked that, but I gather that they can add some steering traction, but should be turned backwards! Sort of ruins that fake 4WD look, doesn't it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
