Thanks Jim @WHX?? this has been my unicorn tractor since I started this hobby. I've had several in states of disrepair and non original paint. This one will stay in the collection

No problem ... I was gonna see if it run but it needs a complete wiring job. I just pushed it in the warehouse for now. Start collecting the things you'll need which is everything on the dash.

Some folks (not me) strip the 1 pc tank & polish it... That may look slick with a polished dash plate...?

 

Repro WWII Jeep choke & throttle cable are available from a place in Tennessee - sold on Ebay. Choice of green or black knobs - the black with the white letters look just like the OE WH parts.

Do you have a link for the choke and throttle cables?  I never knew someone reproduced them. I didn’t know they were the same as jeeps. 
I don’t mean to high jack the thread. The 701 is super nice!!  It’s personally my favorite model!  I love the patina on it. I wouldn’t change a thing, except for the wiring and dash to get it running and working again. Nice score!!

No problem our work here is done and since @prondzy may be looking for them as well. 

 

They are not :wh: repros but close enough for the women we go out with. Yes made for Jeep restos. 

There have been many links to them here in the past and you can find them on fleabay and other places. 

@Achto found some super nice ones for his 701 and they were high test locking but they are NLA now and yet to find them elsewhere. Most are non locking and don't come with the plastic outer covering but shrink wrap makes them look orginal.  You may often have to paint them black and white letter them. 

Search keywords are jeep cables throttle choke ... try :text-google:

 

Note these are out of stock https://www.ebay.com/itm/276726990312
