Early morining horse trading

[Shynon 7,475]

Made and early morning run south over the border ( @WHX7 no cheese involved here ) and did a little horse trading and this is what I came home with. 603 looks to be a barn find with no motor. Patina is very nice, sheet metal is good, plan is to keep it original with the addition of a 6 1/4hp kohler with an updraft carb, will it still be considered a 603?  Have to fix the steering shaft as the PO cobble up some kind of arm connected to the tie rods and it is very sloppy and welded one of the steering arms to the spindle Have not done much research yet, anyone know how many 603's were produced? Are the throttle and choke original and correct? Steering wheel is in good shape.

 

Thanks for looking.

It belongs to you, you make the rules!

Nice patina on that one Tom.     

Looks like just enough room for a Kohler twin in there.

That one will clean up nicely.

That one sure looks like it will clean up nice. Your throttle and choke controls are correct except for the extra piece being held in place by the lower screw.

The whole package looks to be in great shape! Looks like a great score to me! As far as the engine, if you wanted to put a Kohler on it instead of the original Tecumseh, I'd consider that a nice upgrade.
