Achto 29,874 #1 Posted Saturday at 04:18 PM Added another round hood to my herd. I've always liked the looks of the round hoods, but was not a big fan of the square aluminum gas tanks. For this reason I had been looking for a 704 to add to my herd. @WHX?? alerted me to one that for sale on Face Book close by and was willing to do the FB work to get me hooked up. Thanks Jim !! Pics of the newest addition. PTO does not look correct to me. The gas tank that is in it is not right, but I have the correct one. Anyone see any thing else out of place please let me know. I also got this deck with it. It looks in pretty good shape but is not on the implement list for the 704. Anyone know off hand what it should be mated to? One more of my bucket lister's obtained. Only ? more to go. 3 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It felt like I sold one of my beloved pets! Edited Saturday at 04:45 PM by squonk 1 3 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a nice set of the later metal ones, just have a hard time covering up nicely painted rims. On the other hand.... If I had a nice set of the baby moon style with the painted on them, I just might have to pick one of my restored round hoods to put them on. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 23,785 #10 Posted 18 hours ago Nice find! Always looking for the 60’s machines for sale near me but they’ve been very sparse lately. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little story on the find ... saw it on FB MP and remembered something ... for once don't expect it again... Dan was snooping around at the BS for a 704 and narrowly missed out on one so I knew he had a hankerin for one. Texted him on this one and we kinda knew the guy. Cindy even says him and his dad were at our plow day one year and kinda met him at other shows and plow events. Younger kid who is a JD fan ... go figure ... and took forever to respond to my inquries. Turned out he works a lot so was excused. Did I mention I hate FB finds but sometimes one does stumble on local horse finds. Well we finally connect and get something setup up for a look see and pick up. I was gonna get it on my way home from deer camp since I had a empty trailer but just didn't work out. So I says to Dan hook up and take your trailer to work go get it Friday after work. Off he goes and I sit wondering on what mission from hell did I send him on! Gotta remember Achto doesn't FB ... smart man ... so never had any kind of contact with the seller. A blind date if you will and some of you might remember how those go... @Shynon sends me a alert PM on it when Dan's on his way to get it. Thanks Tom! Dan gets there and seller says picking it up for Jim? Nope He's tractor heavy... Edited 17 hours ago by WHX?? 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
