Traded for old WH unknown

[groundhog47 358]

In 2017 Traded for unknown Wheel Horse, pictures will follow. It has set in my back yard as unloaded and I have searched all data I could find but have found members here have an eye for detail beyond printed data. Believe I have it narrowed to 1055, 1056, or maybe 1057. How I know it is 10 hp elude me, but in suntanning for last 6 yrs. in my back yard may have bleached engine decal if it had one when it arrived. It is 4 (edited) sp and came with a rope start cord in toolbox under seat fender. Rear axles locked up and shifter will only go back and forth, water probably filled transaxle. Anyway now that I'm getting back to normal, I see potential. Thanks for any help, and as said researched ALL DATA I could find 

Oh,yes vin ID plate/sticker on tractor and engine missing, painted over, or otherwise missing.

Is there an ID tag here?

None unless painted beyond  visibility, not even a raised portion for the sticky type tags.

I think it should be a riveted tag? But I'm not sure. 

@WHX?? or @Achto

Do you know?

That was my thinking also. I will try a light rub of acetone in that area, don't have much to lose i suppose. And no tag plate on engine but see a remanence where coil would be affixed.

I would agree. Probable 1055 or 1056.

I really leaned that direction when fist "parked" it.  I just cringe when someone calls something wrongly, especially on a sale intent. Some of those places most of us HA HA adore. There are some who were just told wrong.

I will more closely inspect the tag areas, but did not notice any rivets or holes. That also rules out1067.

A 1057 would have had a cut out in the hood for head lights. If it did not have head lights, then the white plastic cover plate would have been installed.

 

A 1056 would not have a cut out in the headlight area.

 

A 1055 would not have the headlight cut out and would be a short frame with a length of 61 inches instead of the 65" length that the 2 above have.

Steering wheel says long frame '67. Only models with that wheel were 953/1054 and 66 - 67 longs. Might find a very early 68 Raider with one.   BTW those steering wheels are hen's teeth these days. 

Big battery box is pointing to a 10 or 1257. Very few mid sixties used it... 1076, 1077 & long frame gear jammer '67s.  

The motor has a tin on it that is not right for the year.. Should have a wrap around on the backside. Any ID plate on the motor that's readable? 

Tag is prolly gone but yes the two rivet holes would be there.

Only six speeds had headlights in 67 Dan.

That PTO tells me it is a 1057 as well as the mule drive adapter.

I'm thinking someone is still smirking about the missing ID plates, but I don't give up easily. If they messed up ID on trans, which only removes the 1055, I'll still be guessing.

Guessing's over it's a a 10 0r 1257 fer sure. 

 

What yer plans for it? Even with the chunks missing that steering wheel is definitely restorable.

Those 7 slot hoods are not real common. Do it that helnarrow it down any?
