Original 704

[wh315-8 550]

I was just minding my own business and I get a message request on Messenger. Older gentleman asks me if I would be interested in this 1964 704, his grandpa had bought it new. We chatted and he found me from my many responses on Facebook groups and figured I would be the one that would be able to save it. He told me make an offer. So because I already have too many and a non original 704 already. I made a offer and He said come and get it.. needs carb/fuel pump cleaned up but has spark. Should have it running before Memorial Day Parade.

A little cleaning up and Patina will be in great shape. Always garaged and only ever mowed during its life.

WOW, you stumbled into it and found a dusty rose that needs a bath.  You should be very happy with your find.

Please post a video when you get it running.

Nice when they find you, instead of you searching for them.

Nice score !! One of my favorite looking round hoods.

DUDE!!!! a shower head muff!!! Original fronts still hold air?? Sure looks nice  not enough! 

Get us a pic of that dealer stickler on the hood if that's what it is.

I grew up living close to that dealership. I now live bout 20min away from where it used to be. Remember driving by it often. They used to have an old tractor on top of their sign along the road but I cant remember what it was. Tegner passed away in 2022. 

 

Awesome find!!
