stevebo-(Moderator) 8,041 #26 Posted December 9, 2015 That looks to be a very nice original machine with all the goodies. Very nice find. I personally am no longer looking for new machines unless I come across one like that! Sure you don't want to trade back your restored 58 for it?? lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammerhead 816 #31 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Yep gotta love the 753's with duals, head lights and everything else you can throw on one! Here is my custom dually 753! Dual wheels, dual mufflers, dual hitches, HL5 head lights, 8 ball shifter, 1961 footrests, seat back rest, 60 lb front weight, factory mint seat cushion and I just added the one of a kind wind up key on the back this year! This is a high revving, romping machine! Edited December 13, 2015 by Hammerhead 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,747 #32 Posted December 13, 2015 seeing these 2 tractors looking so fresh and new, really makes me was to do that to my 854, and make it look like it just came from the factory. I've gone though it pretty thoroughly and it's running and shifting good. But it looks old and used, which it is I'm just at a quandary of what to do 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry M-(Moderator) 2,126 #36 Posted December 13, 2015 oops, sorry. That location is not factory..... An add-on starter button / key mounting adapter came with the hy-2 hydro kit I thought to relocate those . Looks like the previous owner just did it his own way . Not sure if push button is factory in your model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,747 #38 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I was enjoying it today, 55 degrees here, so I drove it up and down my quarter mile driveway a few times. There's no snow to take care of and I wanted to savor this wonderful winter weather Edited December 17, 2015 by Ranger13148 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
