753 I believe

I would say a 753 too. A couple of funky mods but nothing you couldn't undo if you wanted. Definitely a smoking deal. :)

:text-coolphotos:            Nice score.    To me the running boards seem a little too high for comfort.     :twocents-02cents:

Well I tore into it already. The motor was a little to free, so I checked it out and it's got a broken connecting rod. So tomorrow  Ill dig deeper to see if it's worth rebuilding or what the verdict will be.

Engine serial number appears to be from 1974. Possibly was replaced.

The spec number 28626E looks like the one listed for 753s  Would they have made a spec number for 10+ years??? 1963 to 1074

The Grey on the motor is someone's rattle can job of trying to paint the engine a aluminum color. And all the rest of the tractor has about 4 layers of differ reds.

I was thinking the Kohler serial is 7 digits long but maybe it is only 6 which would be correct for the 1960's.

That looks like a great deal, no matter what it is!  You stole it, IMO. :ph34r:

Pretty much tore down. Now just got to check everything over and decide what to do with it exactly. Overall it was good for the price. But theres a lot of hack jobwork done to it. I'm getting the motor checked for cracks and the bore measured tomorrow.

So got the word the motor can be saved. But I also got a call from the previous owners father. The original owner of the tractor. Apparently the tractor is originally a 633.  He said he has the original motor for it. I will be going to get that later. But he said he cracked the plate that mounts to the transaxle. So he purchased a 753 with a blown transaxle from his neighbor at the time. With intentions to use the frame and also decided to use the rebuilt k161that was on the753, instead of the k141 that was on the 633 originally. So that explains the battery box on the frame and some of the confusion  I was having.

I'm gonna go for a kinda modified 633. I'll keep the photos coming. The frame and transaxle was cleaned up and blasted between last night and today. Now is all primed.
