My 4th Wheel Horse...this year.

[RedRanger 1,468]

Brought this one home last night.  Pretty solid tractor minus the correct engine, seat, belt guard.  

Actually bought this one as a home to a Kohler I have sitting on a shelf in my garage.

It will be a "802" with electric G/S.  Will go back to original push button ignition as well.

Deestone Tri Ribs on the front and maybe a stack?

 

That's a Tecumseh overhead valve 5 horse in there now.

 

I will be needing a correct belt guard and square pan seat if anyone has one.

Also-is the no name amp gauge correct for this?  I've always seen SW gauges in WH.

And-Is the seat spring wrong for this tractor?  I know the "riser" is an add on, but it looks like the seat spring should have been as tall as the fenders.  I think they have the wrong seat spring.

Nice new addition and some really good pictures as well.

Nice horse!!  Does it grind a little when you put it in gear.  Looking at that chopped up belt guard.

I don't know.  Engine is so cold blooded and the temp was about 30 degrees.  We could only get it to fire and run for a few seconds.

Haven't driven it.  Seller said it clutched fine, but we know how that goes.

 

Doesn't matter to me.  As soon as I have time to get it fired up and tuned, I'm listing the engine for sale.

He's running the trans pulley on the engine and found a different wheel horse pulley for the trans.  I will ride it once to see what kind of speed it gets.  

 

You've got a 702.

Can you confirm how tall your seat spring is?  I think the one on this tractor is wrong.

Also-what other models run the same belt guard?

Good lookin' new addition to your herd.

Whats up with the left outside dual?

[stevasaurus 22,229]

Sure...my seat spring is 8 3/4" from the bottom of the spring to the top.  I do have a piece of 2/4 on top of the spring to make the seat a little higher.  My Dad and I are both taller then 6'.  I did not catch the bad welding job you have there, until you said that.  It looks like my welds.  LOL  The pulleys should be 2 1/2" on the engine and a 4" pulley on the input shaft.  I would think that the belt guards off of the 701, 502, 552, 702, 603, 633, 653, 753, maybe 953, 704, 854.  I would go to the manual section and check out IPL's and part numbers.  Somewhere, here, there is a site to put in a part number and it will tell you what horses it fits.

You would really want to check out the Tecky horses I listed above, that guard could be a little different.

????  What do you mean?

[stevasaurus 22,229]

I see it...in the 3rd picture...wheel looks loose or something like that.

Magical illusion.  All 4 tires are 6-12, but two different brands.  Inners are about a year old and outers are brand new.  They are straight and tight, but camera angles makes them look weird.

Depending on angle, sometimes the outers look shorter or smaller than the inners and sometimes taller.  Sometimes they look crooked unless you look at them directly from the rear or front.

Duals are just magical.

 

I have to say, I thought duals looked silly on these little tractors until I saw AMC's collection.  Sweet!
