stratostar250 919 #1 Posted July 24, 2016 Well guys, I'm calling this my first true haul because I've never picked up this much at one time before. It's mainly all parts and some will probably be used for some projects in the future and some will be sold, but for how much there was and what the price was, I couldn't say no. So, I picked up a C-111, a 657, and a 704. The C-111 may actually be a runner. Not the original motor, but she has spark, and I sprayed some carb cleaner in the intake and got a backfire out the muffler, so she will probably run, I then put some gas in the tank and the bowl instantly flooded so it may need a carb cleaning at least. I did also notice that the right foot pan was slightly bent, along with the belt guard on the bottom, so I will have to straighten that out before I can drive it otherwise the belt will shred in seconds. The 657 has a 7hp Tecky from an Ariens snow blower on it. No Spark, but turns over, has compression, tires have seen better days, but frame and tranny seems to be relativley solid, may make something fun out of it if I get the itch! Now....the ugly child; the 704 has no hood, the tranny is frozen, and I don't really know what to do with her. She has a mower deck that may be saveable, but not too sure yet, and K241 on her, that is not seized, but has no compresion, with quite an odd carb, maybe some of you guys may know whats going on with it, but I have no clue about this style, any info would be appreciated. Oh, and it all also came with a 60" deck for a 520. It had previoulsy been restored or at least painted, and seems to maybe have never been on a tractor after being redone. No grass on the underside, really decent shape. Now I need a 520 with a swept front axle...... but all in all, for what i have into it, I feel like I made out well! It surely will keep me busy for a while. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldredrider 2,548 #2 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) The K-241 on the 704 is from a 1054 with an oil bath air cleaner. It is missing the starter generator. Just found the s/g! It's on the seat! Edited July 24, 2016 by oldredrider 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,369 #9 Posted July 25, 2016 Nice haul. Maybe we need a long, running thread called, "Who's Been Horse Hunting", or " Who's Been Horse Herding", just like this one on WFM for Deere's: http://www.wfmachines.com/forums/showthread.php/28676-Who-s-been-Deere-hunting?p=570817#post570817 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kthack657 266 #11 Posted July 27, 2016 For the 657, do yourself a favor, replace the points and condensor, also remove the carb, and shake it. if you hear a rattle this is a GOOD carb, if it makes no noise it is junk. I have a 657 also with a 7hp engine, and this is what we did and it works with all the techies we have ever dealt with. good haul congrats 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
