What Wheelhorse ?

[FLtractor 245]

Evening, 

Another one came across marketplace. What model is it?  Another Early suburban? Hmm seller saying all parts should be in box.. and it ran and drove before disassembly to paint and clean up.. but no engine in pictures and that box doesn’t look big enough to hold whatever engine it would have come with.. seller asking $200.00.. worth it?

Maybe some of the parts are, but to me it could be a 1964 704. The cambered front axle with 2 tierods and the adjustable Dial-a-Height lift lever mechanism say 1963 or later... The slanted hoodstand says 1964. So...704?

704 did not use that style hood or gas tank. I think it may just be a pile of parts

A pile of parts to something with three digits the last one being    4.  The box shown in the listing has nothing but empty coffee containers. While not complete the part shown are in fairly good condition,  BUT without knowing what isn't there I would consider it a bottomless money pit. If you keep throwing money into it you will succeed in building the world's most expensive .

Update: seller said been years since ran and was taken apart. Said engine was worked on by local machine shop.

Here is picture when they brought  it home. 953nut you were right

A very desirable model, better if all the parts are there.My 854 with the added 8 speed is one of my favorites - the model they never built, but should have.....
