JONE00 0 #1 Posted December 25, 2011 does the way the hood is set up look original? it looks like it sets up higher than it should, it has a 10hp briggs model 243431 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trouty56 565 #2 Posted December 25, 2011 Whatcha you doing...waiting up for Santa??? I was try to locate a pic on here of a Workhorse 700. No go on finding one. Had a 7hp techy engine stock. Looks like there was some room needed for that big 10 hp Briggs and somebody got a little creative. Merry Christmas and welcome to the forum...... Here's one..... courtesy of wh-jason...the one pulling the cool wagon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #3 Posted December 25, 2011 Both the hood & dash tower have been raised! Even the steering shaft looks like it's been lengthened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,712 #5 Posted December 25, 2011 Definitely been modified. Probably just bolted on spacers and you could get it back to original if thats what you wanted to do. Mike....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #6 Posted December 25, 2011 but it does look kinda cool, wonder what they were trying to mod it for? also :text-welcomeconfetti: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,712 #7 Posted December 25, 2011 but it does look kinda cool, wonder what they were trying to mod it for? also To get that huge Briggs in there where the little techy motor sat. Mike........... If you do want it to be put back to original height but dont want a Tecumseh motor try sticking a small 5-6 hp Honda in it. I have a 5hp Honda in a 656 and love it! Mike.........

JC 1965 1,528 #8 Posted December 25, 2011 Yea, It's been raised. Are you going to use it as a work tractor, and does the Briggs run good? If the answer to both questions is yes, then I'd just not worry about it. If you want to bring it back to It's original condition, it would probably be pretty easy. :WRS: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JONE00 0 #9 Posted December 26, 2011 I picked this WH 700 up for $225 with a snow plow and a set of lawn turf and ag tires which are both brand new also tire chains, do you guys think thats a good deal? I think im going to keep it the way it is for now i like the way it sets up. but the reason i bought this tractor was for the engine, i have a what i believe is a 1964 montgomery ward garden mark squire 10, eventually i would like to put a 12hp kohler in the WH 700 and use the briggs for my wards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horse700special 2 #10 Posted December 26, 2011 Here is a pic of my 700 Special. Very nice little machines, they run great with the 7hp tecumseh. I believe mine was repowered by the previous owner, but it is a 7hp tecumseh still. A 12hp would be awesome though... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JONE00 0 #11 Posted December 26, 2011 That is a nice little machine you have there, I really like the lever you have to angle the snowplow, i spiffy hub caps also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
