harvesttime16 45 #1 Posted October 22, 2015 got for 300.00, was told that the original owner couldn't afford the mower deck with the horse, so he got the blueprints from the WH dealer and built it himself out of stainless steel. What i'm interested in is what model it should be. I thought 655 had a square hood.Bruce 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #2 Posted October 22, 2015 Front axle proves its pre '63. 702 might be a good guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harvesttime16 45 #7 Posted October 22, 2015 I think I'll keep the 655 decal and call it a rare bird. I don't see many around. Thanks for all the comments. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,771 #8 Posted October 22, 2015 My 2 cents from what I've tried to learn from those that know:Because of the gas tank:633653753754854And then because of the Kohler753754854And then I'm stumped. Guys, please correct me and/or add to! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,938 #9 Posted October 22, 2015 I'm thinking that's a multi year. The left side looks like a 701. The single pulley screams 702 but it's probably a transplant. Definitely no later than a 62. I think the hood is a couple years later. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guys, please correct me and/or add to! Dennis, the 701 and 702 and 62-63 Lawn Rangers also had that style gas tank, and the 633 was Kohler powered. (It used a unique updraft Tillotson carb) The 701 and 702 were also Kohlers.In the pictures it appears that it has the separate dash plate on the fuel tank which would have been consistent with the 62 models.My money is on it being a 702 with a scrounged belt guard. They were the same part number. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,938 #12 Posted October 22, 2015 I'm changing my story and agreeing with Jason. I don't think the 701 had a parking brake lever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shynon 7,482 #13 Posted October 23, 2015 I'm with Jason also 702, flag brake pedal and hood stand has no cut out for the lift arm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harvesttime16 45 #14 Posted October 23, 2015 Seems unanimous, I'll make it a 702. New to restoring and want to get it right. Thanks for all your input, I hope to be at the Arendsville, PA show next year.Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,281 #15 Posted October 24, 2015 It's got to be a 702...I get goosebumps when I see one. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #16 Posted October 24, 2015 Not one person said anything about the extra long hood? almost looks to have about a 4" section added at the nose, as for the rest of the tractor 99% sure it's a 702 even has the correct no bump starter/gen belt guard, I'd like more pics of the hood 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,196 #17 Posted October 24, 2015 Kelly's right...now I see the added piece there, center of the hood. Almost looks like they sectioned another hood to add the piece, wonder what that was all about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,938 #18 Posted October 24, 2015 That's why I mentioned a later hood. I was thinking an 854 hood. I think Kellys talking about the piece added an the bottom where it attaches to the frame. But I am seeing what you're talking about now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clip 185 #19 Posted October 24, 2015 Interesting about the mower deck, but very skeptical. It would cost quite a bit more to make a one-off deck (designed to be made on a production line) out of stainless versus buying the complete from WH. If he did, that's crazy! Does a magnet stick to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
