Rock farmer 41 #1 Posted February 19, 2014 I've seen this for sale. But I can't quite figure it out. Decal says 1969 to 1971? Engine is briggs or Tecumseh? I'm thinking 800 special? That geared deck is a hold over from the mid sixties? Plow blade home made or factory? Cart, wheelhorse or something else? Only picture I've got. Thanks!

Terry M-(Moderator) 2,125 #2 Posted February 19, 2014 I think I'm safe to say the engine is a transplanted briggs…about 8hp..maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock farmer 41 #3 Posted February 19, 2014 I'm thinking the cut out on the hood looks factory? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodge71 662 #4 Posted February 19, 2014 They never put a briggs from the factory back then. The cut could be made right quick with a 4 inch grinder and a cut off wheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock farmer 41 #5 Posted February 19, 2014 Yea, the tractor seems to have the tires of a "C" series. But, the blade and trailer don't say that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerhead 816 #6 Posted February 19, 2014 That is a non stock Briggs motor and a cut up hood with the wrong decals. Looks like a 1968 or 69 tractor. Look under the dash for a metal Id plate and if it is there, post the Model Number on this site and we can tell you exactly what it is. The dump cart is not a WH product but the snow blade is. The 3 spoke steering wheel looks like a 1969 type maybe a Model 700. I have seen that machine around on Ebay or Craigslist maybe. Seems like a lot of these tractors get their hoods hacked out in the same way as this one. Go drag it home and start the rebuilding! Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,028 #8 Posted February 19, 2014 I agree 68 or 69 short frame machine, looks to have the wide rear fenders, engine not correct, has narrow tires front and rear if factory that says it was a Tecumseh powered machine when new, been on Ebay a few times.

Rock farmer 41 #9 Posted February 22, 2014 So, I asked some Q's. Do you know the model number? Or, engine make and hp? 3 speed tran right? Tractor deck trailer and plow MODEL # 1715 7-8 hp engine yes 3 speed tranny yes all the items are in the pic are included Model number makes no sense. Engine hp doesn't help. 3 speed tran tells me something. Just checking to make sure the deck is included. It's not too far from me. I always wanted to try a short frame model. That is my favorite style wheelhorse. Price ain't bad for my neck of the woods. I'd probably want a kohler in it anyway. Is that the correct deck for it? Is it a good deck? Thanks!
