FLtractor 187 #1 Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Afternoon, Marketplace seller just posted this for $50.00 about 4 hours round trip. What model, deck be usual with my 856? Any parts worth keeping off this tractor? Seller said.. owned 30 years.. motor locked up, transmission good. Needs total restoration seals tires and all. Been sitting 15 years, he’s not sure why locked up. What are chances transmission still good? I know majority of this group is anti predator engines.. but this seems like it would be prefect chasis to keep alive with one?

stevasaurus 23,740 #2 Posted 3 hours ago Thinking it is a 604 ,pull start Tecumseh 6hp...1964. Deck looks like it could be a 32"...maybe a 36". Tractor looks to be complete. No belt guard. Should clean up nice...put a Honda engine on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 16,933 #3 Posted 2 hours ago (edited) 36 deck. Unless consciously abused, the transmission is likely redeemable. Might not be the original engine (I don’t recognize the starter/cooling air intake cowling). The two-spoke steering wheel is a personal favorite. Good rehab candidate in my book!

ri702bill 12,471 #4 Posted 2 hours ago Hood looks original, uncut. You have to remove the steering wheel (or wheel & shaft) to get the hood completely off..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 47,363 #5 Posted 1 hour ago (edited) 604/704. What's not original are the engine, rear tires, throttle and choke controls and the seat Edited 1 hour ago by squonk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 11,618 #6 Posted 35 minutes ago Definitely worth $50 in parts or a restoration candidate. The right axle area looks quite dirty, so I suspect the seal is shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
