wallfish 18,668 #3 Posted October 25 Definitely a 1962 and a nice find. Model Year Description Type Engine Model HP Drive Model 502 1962 Lawn & Garden Tractor 502 4-Speed Tecumseh HT55C-3088 5.5 Wheel Horse 5025 The 502 is kind of a more rare tractor as we just don't see as many of those pop up (or the 552 ) as a 702. Probably because not as many were sold or they got trashed because the engines gave out. "Rare" doesn't necessarily mean it's worth a million $ but maybe the right collector may want it. The engine was changed as many of those original Tecumseh engines from that period gave up the ghost long ago. That seat is a more modern WH seat and it would've had come with a square metal seat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,775 #5 Posted October 25 The 62-18956 tractor serial appears to be late in the 1962 model year. Kohler made serial 5228560 in 1973. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,232 #6 Posted October 25 (edited) The battery trays on 1962 models are welded in. My 502 came with the optional? sheet metal tool bucket the size of the battery. Small buy handy... Edited October 25 by ri702bill 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
