Is this a good deal? need advice!!

[Greg Parnell 6]

I found this for $125.00 . Is it a good deal? no engine, new back tires

Appreciate your help!

[HorseFixer 2,012]

Thats not a bad price if it has new rear rubber what is that a 704, 603? cant see pic real good :D

[Michael Bullington 5]

Looks like a 702 or 552 ..probably not bad

[daemon2525 5]

That is crappy picture. No way to tell.

Does it have front tires? Tell us more or get a better picture.

Edit: Ok , I see the tire now. It's still a crappy picture

[bell 11]

looks pretty good.... I would consider paying that for one... in decent condition. Especially if the belt guard was there too.... :hide:

[Greg Parnell 6]

That's the only photo he had and he doesn't know what model it is. The photo is all I have to go by right now.

[daemon2525 5]

Yeah, it's probably fine, but if it were me, I would need a little better look at it.

Theres NO ENGINE..... I dunno, in my neck of the woods engineless tractors don't bring squat for $$$ no matter what model they are. $125 would seem high to me and $75 would feel better.....

I was able to get him down to $100.00 and I told him I would buy it. I'll go pick it up this Thursday. I guess this makes me a Wheel Horse addict now :hide:

[HorseFixer 2,012]

Yeah pictures!! and let us know how you come out! Im itchin to see what it is! :D

[JimD 3,345]

100.00 would bring ti to my house too. you could have a lot of fun restoring that while you look around for an engine. have fun and :hide:

I think 100.00 is a fair price. Looks like a clean solid platform.

Looks like it has a bolt on dash plate which would make it a 1962. $100. is a good deal in my area. :hide:

[Greg Parnell 6]

PHOTOS ARE Here. I am really pleased with this old horse. Work your magic guys and let me know what I have. No belt guard was to be found

[kpinnc 10,943]

Dangit Greg!

I've been trying to reach that guy for a week. I guess he sent the wrong number...

Looks good! Congrats!

Not many round hoods here in NC. You did good!

That's two for you now, right?

[oldandred 15]

well I knoiw its not as 754 or 854

but could be a 701 but dont think so can you post a picture of the front end with hood and axle and one below the dash and its a recoil start no battery box unless it was removed

[Michael Bullington 5]

looks like a 702 to me,,,unless you can see where the tecumseh engine plate was then it might be a 552 ,,,,looks like the battery box is in bad shape..but hey its a nice find...good luck :horseplay:

[DMESS 24]

It's certainly a 1962 model. Looks like it had a starter button removed at some point plus the serial decal is not covering said hole, so I'd say that rules out the 502. Chances are good it was a 552 cause (and I've used this nasty logic a lot recently) The KOHLER would still be there.

Soooo, model 552 or 702 with the chances favoring the 552 due to Kohler engine longevity. :hide:

[Greg Parnell 6]

Kevin, Yea I have two now and I was wondering if anyone else after this.

Here is a photo of the front and battery tray.

[bell 11]

Nice find!

I'm no help at what model it is, but it is definately a 1962...

Just make it whatever you want then!

I have a engineless 633 that is going to become a 853.... I know they never made one, but I'm gonna!!! :D

[Tennessee Country Boy 0]

Well I was right on the 1962. Now I think it is a 502 because I do not see any holes to bolt the battery box down with, but 62 may be different. Where they welded in on a 62. Alot of 502s and 633s had a tool box instead of a battery box.

Have a great one. Henry in Tenn.

[DMESS 24]

B box was welded on the '62's and yes quite a few 502's seem to have the toolbox.

[Michael Bullington 5]

looking at that frame picture it looks like a kohler engine sat on it and the battery box is broken off,,,Looks like an impression of a battery on the frame :hide:

I have a 502. It has a battery box (welded on) but the option toolbox sits in it instead of a battery. The battery box is visible on the right side of this picture:

In this same pic you can see the steel engine mounting plate used on the Tecumseh powered machines. The Kohler powered ones had a cast iron oil pan bolted directly to the frame - you may be able to see "witness" marks in the paint.

As Dustin stated yours has had a starter switch mounted in the dash tower at some stage. The 502 did not have this, and the serial tag was put over the hole, as in this pic:
