Docwheelhorse 2,689 #1 Posted May 6, 2010 Hello All, I ended up with a 703 this week and it has a Kohler electric start 7 from the factory I can only assume... Soooooooooooo What has a 753 got that a 703 doesn't---doesn't the ---5--- mean electric start? Enquiring minds want to know... Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raider12 13 #2 Posted May 6, 2010 All I have to add is a my 753 had the starter/generator. Not a starter and an altenator. Im not sure which one your 703 has? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,569 #3 Posted May 6, 2010 Tony, I don't think there was a 703. In 1963, Wheel Horse made the 603, 633, 653 and 753. The 603 was called 603 Special, 6 hp Tecumseh, no fenders, pull start and few other things missing. The 633 had pull start, 6 hp Tecumseh, the 653 electric start 6 hp Tecumseh and the 753, electrical start 7 hp Kohler. There was no 703. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Docwheelhorse 2,689 #5 Posted May 6, 2010 OK... so I'm an idiot, I meant to say a 702. But I still don't get why it wouldn't of been a 752...... Its a 7 Kohler with starter generator. Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,147 #6 Posted May 6, 2010 Wheel Horse didn't quite have their (model) numbers system figured out yet. A 701 is the same way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Bullington 5 #7 Posted May 6, 2010 in a perfect world the 701 should have been 751 and the 702 should have been a 752 :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankB 16 #8 Posted May 6, 2010 Wow. Just wow. All this discussion about model numbers. This must be a pretty serious subject amongst us. And not one :D Tony - I think you may have started some serious discussion. Sounds line a nice tractor, but I'll never know w/out pix. :wh: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,569 #11 Posted May 7, 2010 One question wasn't the 633 a pull start Kohler?? I think you're right, Kelly. It looks like the 633 was indeed Kohler powered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to reignite such an old thread, but I saw this on Facebook and it sparked my curiosity.

Many people claiming there is no such thing as a 703. They do exist my late dad had one. We took it to the LaGrange Indiana gas and steam show for a couple of years my dad got accused of making the decal and we did not make the decal it came that way. We also know a couple of wheel horse experts guys that their fathers and grandfathers had dealerships and they said it was an extremely rare one. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
