Barn find today 753

Recommended Posts

TIGman

  A friend told me a back last fall he had a Wheel Horse in his barn I could have, he just had to dig it out .

Well he got it dug out today.  I believe it is 753 from looking at photos and the fact it has a Kohler K161 7 hp engine.

Could not find any ID tags on the tractor.

  Still a dusty Barn Queen in the pictures.

Everything there except air cleaner cover

and the fact it was the victim of an attack in the gear shift area..... :/

   Trying to figure out what missing in the tranny? :(

953 nut

:text-coolphotos:     Looks to me like a previous owner didn't know how to remove the shifter and had to pull the tranny so he drilled a series of intersecting holes. You should be able to tig that back, no problem.  :ychain:

Someone did something similar on the 854 I bought 5 years ago.  I bought a replacement tank stand off of ebay and didn't try to fix it.  I preserved the original serial number sticker which is 40927.
