Fun Engineer 859 #1 Posted January 10, 2015 Hope to go look at this tractor next week. Can any of you round hood experts help me identify what it is and what it may be worth? These are the pictures he texted me. Here's what I know. It hasn't been run in 15 years. Was repainted by the current owner who has owned it for the last 16 years. Has sat inside for the last 15 years. Has rear wheel extenders and wrong rear tires. That's all I know. Sent from my tractor seat. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fun Engineer 859 #9 Posted January 10, 2015 So if it's a 702 with the one piece tank I don't have to worry about gasket leaks? I think the guys looking to get $500 for it but I'm thinking since he hasn't had it running in quite a while that's it's worth far less. I will only be able to test to see if the crank will spin. Can't test the hydro pump either. [emoji19] Not too happy about the repaint job either but at least it protected it [emoji4] I first contacted him last August and we've both been busy so I finally have time to go check it out.

Mr. 856 170 #10 Posted January 10, 2015 the tires based on the tread look like the original wheel horse tires that are on my 856 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckrancher 2,675 #12 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Dave looks to be a 702 and yes it has the solid tank $500 is too much in a non-running condition Brian Edited January 10, 2015 by buckrancher 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,230 #13 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Don't worry about that HY-2 unit...there is nothing to rebuilding it if it leaks. I did a thread on that and Indy still has the new seals if you need them. Looks like a 702...I think that is the right deck for it also. That HY-2 unit is selling for over $100 at shows and it looks like all the parts are there. Yes, 500 is too much not running, but if engine is not froze up, I think $150 would be stealing it...$200 to $250 is a good price...I might go as high as $300 (just because I like the 702's), I have a 702 with HY-2 and it is a great starting and running horse. The original rear tires would look like narrow snow tires. Edited January 10, 2015 by stevasaurus 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fun Engineer 859 #14 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks to all you experts for the input. Hopefully I can work out a fair deal with the guy. Beside my little Lawn Ranger L-157, the only round hood I have is the 603 I picked up last summer so I have zero experience with any of the round hoods. I haven't done a thing to the 603 other than power wash it. Haven't even tried to start it yet. That will change today as I'm finally caught up with all my home and barn projects and can get back to playing, I mean working on the horses [emoji4] Sent from my tractor seat.
