6wheeler 586 #1 Posted February 12 I hooked up the trailer and this thing hopped right on it. Dang, I hate when that happens. It even brought its own tiller. The auctioneer said the PO told him it won't run. He had bought it and couldn't get it started and he thought the tiller may be stuck too. I got it home and an hour later it was running. The tiller is good too. I don't know how to tell how old it is. Model# 1-7255, ser# 642966. I can't find. Model# for the tiller. According to the MPV, if it came with the tractor. It should be # 1-1211. I think an Electro 12 auto is just what I needed.🤠🤠 4 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,826 #4 Posted February 13 (edited) Well it won't run cause the spark plug is shorting to the hood. Nice fire works anyway... Good save Wheeler... The patinaed hub caps make the tractor. Edited February 13 by WHX?? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 4,880 #8 Posted February 13 @6wheeler That looks like a great project. Hard to beat those old K engines. I hope all goes well with this one. Enjoy the ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6wheeler 586 #9 Posted February 13 Thanks for all the good thoughts .Thanks Garry for the file on the tiller. Pullstart. When I looked at it, I was able to turn the engine a bit. I put my booster pack on it and it turned over. And on the tiller? There was a chunk of wire tangled up in it . After I cut that. It turned free. I may have been my own worst enemy. Apparently, some one else was watching. I ended up paying $410. But after messing with it like I did? I was bringing it home. According to the model number, I think it might be the newest version of the series. All the Parts viewer has is Pre "74". Not much help. I will try to find a manual for it. WHX??, I was planning to clean them up (hubcaps). But, after looking at it like it is? They may just stay that way. I should have plugged those Christmas lights in to add "Effect" . The PTO was unplugged which made me suspect. I tracked down a broken wire under the tank and now it engages just fine . Today, it is getting all the fluids changed and the carb.getting cleaned. Then I just need spring to come to put it to work ...... The tractor in the back is my 520. It is getting a engine upgrade after I can use my arm to lift again. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 2,652 #10 Posted February 13 Nice electro 12, I have one of those myself! I don't think we actually have the correct manual here on redsquare for it, but its the same thing as every other hydro in the early 70's. The only difference is that it was a "higher end" machine back in the day due to the electromagnetic clutch and the fancy hubcaps. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
