TurboZinke 7 #1 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I have had this Wheel Horse since I was 10 years old. Now I'm 31, and I've just bought a house so I want to get this thing going! It was painted 20 years ago and looked really good. It's never run very well and never cut grass very well. I was too young to understand how to really work on it back then, but I'm ready now. I got it running yesterday (with a pull rope) and it sounded pretty good. It does have electric start. I don't know how many HP the engine is. I would like to know what year it is and what model. I think it got painted over. I have found similar models, but not the same model. The serial number is A-72124. Thanks for your help!

stevasaurus 23,281 #4 Posted March 24, 2016 It's got the Tecumseh on it Lane. 604 or 654. 654 if it has battery cables. Anyway, it looks like a 1964...6 hsp Tecumseh. Nice looking tractor, and Welcome to Red Square. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 18,149 #8 Posted March 24, 2016 It's got a battery tray so I'll go with a 1964 - 654. Maybe you can remove some paint over the sticker on the belt guard. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,281 #9 Posted March 24, 2016 If you have something covered with paint, take a rag with Acetone and rub gently. The paint will soften and come off with out hurting the sticker. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,744 #10 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) @TurboZinke Like stevasaurus said, use some paint remover and a rag on the belt guard where the 704 is at on Lane's tractor picture. 604....6 hp, pull start, 1964 654....6 hp, electric start, 1964 704....7 hp, pull start, 1964 754...7 hp, electric start, 1964 Edited March 24, 2016 by KC9KAS 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molon_Labe 731 #12 Posted March 24, 2016 With the starter bump on the techy and the battery tray I'd call it a 654 like the one in my avatar. Nice horse and welcome to Red Square! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,149 #13 Posted March 24, 2016 If you check the engine cover you should be able to find the model # of that engine. Those carburetors can be a bit finicky and probably the cause of any issues of running rough. I would suggest buying a new one. They're pretty cheap on Ebay 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
