1962? Wheelhorse..model value, rarity?

[FLtractor 169]

Wondering what model this is, the rarity and how useful in towing and other non mowing tasks since no deck. Value?

Do you have a picture of the other side showing the belt guard?

Looks like that left rear wheel has an axle and or brake seal leaking bad.

Its a plus that it has the Kohler engine.  But has the front of the hood been cut/butchered/destroyed  to fit the air Cleaner

Sorry - it looks to be a FrankenHorse. The double wide S/G belt guard says 1961, the short hood, front axle & steering, gas tank, iron dash all say 1962. If that is a Dial-a-Height lift stop, it says 1963.... Additional pictures from the rear & right side needed to better define this one...

Rarity - probably a one of one - but not for a good reason.

              Some idiot cut a big ugly hole in the front of the hood rather than using the correct air filter.                    Other than that it appears to be a rather nice 702 with a 701 S/G belt guard.

As far a value is concerned the S/G belt guard and two v groove pullies are worth as much as the rest of the tractor in my opinion.

For $ 100 it would be a good deal but not worth driving from Florida to PA and back.

I'm not so sure that's a 701 S/G guard, doesn't look quite right to me. Looks to be from a Briggs motor maybe?

Definitely not a 701 guard. It has the smoother face like one, but not nearly wide enough.

OK, my bad....

The hood stand may be from a 1963 or 1964 model. Still makes it a FrankenMutt.

       those are some great notations on the small variations between the 1962 and 1963 models,     @ACman
