squonk 42,736 #1 Posted April 8, 2014 Started the 704 after a long winter for sure. Started on the first pull. I stored it last fall with the Super-Whoopie fuel you buy at Lowes. It's supposed to have a 3 yr shelf life. I know the 2 cycle fuel they sell works awesome. Hood rattles a bit when revved up. Hope to get it on the yard this weekend to pull the trailer and sweeper! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 42,736 #7 Posted April 9, 2014 Nice...who did your seats back rest cover Mike? An upholstery shop down in Penn Yan did it. Run by an old Mennonite fellow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,744 #8 Posted April 9, 2014 Very nice looking (and running) GT. Do you ring the bell when you want someone to bring you a cold drink while mowing? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 42,736 #9 Posted April 9, 2014 I used to deliver pizza's on it during the local steam show. The bell was used to "clear a path" ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a really nice 704. What paint did you use on it? The paint looks real nice, not overly shiny but just right and probably what it looked like when new.
