pfrederi 17,043 #2 Posted June 11, 2018 Welcome. Stickers hoods etc can be swapped out over 50 years and are not reliable indicators. Really need to post a picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #4 Posted June 11, 2018 Many of the parts (lift sector, dash tower supports, clutch pedal, screw on dash plate, flat front frame...) and the matching patina of the parts all indicate that your guess of a 1962 model 702 is probably correct, and appears mostly original. A few parts are replacements... steering wheel and seat for example... and I'm curious about the hole in the hood....what's sticking out? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely looks like a 702 to me. Pretty good shape too minus the few replacements as previously mentioned. TO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stallter 8 #9 Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) I didn't think that should be there either from all the searches I have done on her in the last couple of days none of them had that on there hmm Edited June 11, 2018 by Stallter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 2,477 #10 Posted June 11, 2018 Looks like the correct engine, but I'm assuming that a previous owner got tired of unscrewing the thumb screws and taking the hood off every time they wanted to check the oil, so hence we have a modification. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stallter 8 #11 Posted June 11, 2018 Yes I agree with you there and I am sure an easy fix with the proper item that belongs to her 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A 702 should sell well to any Florida collector.

Stallter 8 #13 Posted June 11, 2018 Oh thank you so much for that info. Now a huge question what would be a good price to go for I have no clue and I don't want to put a price that is too high and or to low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,029 #14 Posted June 11, 2018 5 minutes ago, Stallter said: what would be a good price to go for Is it in running order with a good transmission that works in all gears? If it runs and drives well and all four tires hold air I wouldn't be shy about asking $ 400 in Florida. A collector would be willing to pay a good price as he wouldn't have to traverse a long distance to get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stallter 8 #15 Posted June 11, 2018 Oh yeah she works wonderfully I do know that since it has sat for a minute I will need to do the oil again and I am going to buy a new battery I have tires for her off to the side I personally use a push mower but when I used her up in Michigan when we was up there I just loved how she made my lawn look after I was done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stallter 8 #23 Posted July 22, 2018 I have an other question if that's okay.? I posted the wheel horse up on craigslist down here someone is coming to look at tomorrow now the price I put was 1000 due to that is just me I always put a larger amount I have no clue just who I am now the person texted me with this,,, I am willing to purchase the correct parts for it and restore the tractor but cannot afford to do so at your asking price compared to others that are for sale. Now I do know that those parts need to be restored what do you think the best price I should go to. Or is all that a stupid question,? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,937 #24 Posted July 22, 2018 Seems like, in my area of the country, you've doubled the realistic asking price. Ditto on the $500 estimate above, but, I'm thinking that's kinda towards the upper end of the scale based on the fact that it's got some issues, & needs some parts to put it back to factory original.
