Interesting.... Craig's plate looks different. the "S" in the K161S line on his looks like it's stamped into a box rather than printed as part of the plate like the other two. Might be helpful to know what the year (if known) each of those plates was from.

Jason, I was wondering about that also, the three tags I have all appear to have the "S" stamped into them. They all have 28522E for a spec. number, I believe that is the correct spec. number for the "701"

Sorry for the confusion, the plate image I shared is is from my 702 Denny.

I didn't realize they would be different depending on year of manufacture.

I'll stop helping now.

Don't do that Craig, I need ALL the help I can get. It's all the information that everyone provides that makes this forum what it is and helps us all learn new things about these great machines.

You're right Brian, I sure wasn't very clear when asking for help on this one. I guess I assumed they were all pretty much the same on the older kohlers. That's what I get for assuming. I would like to see the tag from your "701" if you get a chance, no hurry. Thanks everyone for all your help, sorry for the confusion.

Sreve, I'm going to see if Terry can make a decal for mine but I won't do it until later in the year. I think Terry is pretty busy right now so I'll wait until he has more time. I'm sure he'll put them on his websight when he makes one and I'll post a pic of mine here when I get it.

I've started to take my 701 apart and strip everything down to bare metal getting ready to have it painted. After doing the painting myself on my 867 project I've come to the conclusion that I would have this one done by someone who knows what they're doing. :angry-banghead: I'm having this one done by the local body shop. Yesterday I took the wheels to have them powder coated, hopefully within a few weeks I can start to put this back together. It will be nice to finally get one of my projects "done".

Stop Denny your scaring me. I have already made some very small work forward but nothing you can notice without a microscope. should get more time this fall seeing as we will only get about 30% of are harvest. So does that translate into 70% more time or 70% closer to the poor house?

My progress so far, I've got most of the tractor tore down and blasted, I'm cleaning up another set of tranny cases and will replace the originals as they are pretty rough. When I got this all I did was disassemble and clean the tranny so I'm going to replace the bearings, seals, gasket and any gears that need it. I had the wheels powder coated and got the tires remounted this morning, I think they turned out really nice. I see why some of you like to powder coat your wheels. I have two mufflers that fit this tractor so I had one plated with polished nickle. Now I have one for show and one for go. Hopefully within a couple of weeks I'll have this thing ready to paint.

I noticed an extra set of numbers cast into some of my unidrive housings. The part numbers for the housings are the same, 3900 and 3901. Anybody know what the other numbers mean?

Probably foundry casting numbers. A certain run or series so the foundry can keep track of what parts are made when and to what order was placed from the customer.

      This one was on Marketplace for quite a while with a hefty price tag.  I ask if he was flexible on price, Nope.  After a quite a while longer same question before I made the drive.  Come on up, maybe we can make a deal.  The rest is history, I didn't steal it, but I'm happy with the deal!
      Ya I know you want pictures, but there a little more interesting back story.  His granddad's business was Nicholson Machine and Equipment and he was a Wheelhorse Dealer in the 50's and 60's in Paris....., Tx  that is!  He sent me this picture of the glass window from the door to the business that he has framed.  
         
      He also wrote me a short note about his Granddad's business.  So after his he passed, his dad gave the tractor to him. he's had it for quite a few years and said it's always been garage kept.

      So if a Dealer owned this for his own use and never sold it, and then it passed to his Son, and then Grandson, that would technically make me the 1st buyer, 
       
        Ok so on to some tractor photo's
       
      beautiful double pulley belt guard front and center.  It starts with a spray of gas in the carb, but doesn't stay running.
       

      All there, nice and original, you can see a weld repair on the front of the belt guard,
       
      Here's the serial number @gwest_ca


      The plastic dash is intact and not cracked!

      My 1st old style split key.

      it still has the orignal Silverton Ags. They hold air, but their so hard they probable don't need any.  I wonder if their hard because they might still have calcium chloride in them???
        
      The hitch pin isn't frozen and the lift cable even works.

      Interesting decal plastered across the front of the hood.

      aluminum gas tank is fairly clean.

      Hood bottom tab has been repaired.

      topless view of the engine, needs a bath. The front tires are original and hold air, but have some splits across the thread.
       

      Homemade choke and throttle cable bracket.  The base of the engine has wet oil, so i suspect it needs some gaskets.

      Both axle seals are dry, but the input shaft and brake shaft seals leak.

      I've learned if the top of the transmission is filthy oily, it probable means theirs water in the transmission that has floated the oil out.  This one is clean so hopefully that's a good sign.

      Started some maintenance and a beautiful sight, not a drop of water, just black oil.  It shifts through the gears nicely so it will be interesting to see how it runs/drives.
      I'll gradually go all through it with my checklist.  701 Minor Overhaul Checklist.ods
       
      Then have to decide if I rub it down with linseed oil like it is, or buff with some steel wool or wet sand to bring a little more red out, then oil. 
      How would ya'll put your finishing touches on it?
       
      I'll update this thread as I do maintenance on it and get it running.

      So just picked up a 701, obviously the engine isn't right. I have a 7hp Kohler to put on and will put B&S on my Speedex. Anyone ever seen a post come out on the right from the rock shaft? It rotates with the lift handle and has no holes in it. It was done up well, almost looking factory.

      Hi all,
       
      i bought this 1961 701 in fall of 2018 and restored it. I completed it in fall of 2019 and I wanted to show some pictures of before during and after I got it done. I did my research and tried to make this tractor as close to original as possible. The few exceptions are tires, wiring and the steering support. Not a perfect tractor but sure is nice enough for me.
