Can Anyone Identify This Tractor?

[grnlark 490]

In my travels, I came across this older Wheel Horse which is for sale. Based on these two pictures, is anyone able to determine exactly what model it is? Any idea on value? Supposedly it runs and mows but needs a "carb adjustment". The owner is looking for $500 OBO which in this economy I don't think is realistic. Thoughts?

654, the hood stand is pretty unique for that year.

I won't say on the value....it does look like a really solid & straight tractor & I think all Tecumseh's need a carb adjustment.

+1 both on it being a 654 and the carb adjustment. Wouldn't be worth anywhere near $500 to me... but it does look like a pretty nice original.

_{Thanks guys! I'm not sure he's willing to budge on the price and I'm not crazy about the Techy either...}

So,,,the Tecumseh engine the deciding factor that is diminishing the value of this tractor? What is a fair price as it sits now?

looks like a $300 TO $400 tractor to me

I love round Hoods and I love the "Patina" on that one...I would give that for it, even with the Tec...lol

Around here Round Hoods are hard to find, they are completely Rusted when you do...or they are original paint and they want $1500 for them or more!

Craig Tuckies really don't hurt the value, especially if there correct for the tractor & still running.

The carb settings can be tempermental on them mostly if they have been sitting.

You see a lot of Tucky powered stuff advertised as needs carb adjusted.

Thanks Rollerman, I recently picked up a Tecumseh powered 653 for $350.

Was a bit worried I got took.

I'm gettin a FREE old Troy-built tiller with a Tecky. I'm sure large hammers will be needed to get it running. At least it's free! Me and Teckys get along like water and oil!

it looks to be in nice shape,where i live that would be about what a guy would ask for that tractor,we dont see many round hoods around here,there here but no one wants to sell them,i dont think id pay that for a tecky powered tractor but thats just me,ive had other machines with them and am not a fan,others like them,ford,chevy thing,
