mikeeyre74 289 #1 Posted June 30, 2017 As I'm still searching for a new good project, this one came up. I'm thinking 702? Anyone confirm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeeyre74 289 #3 Posted June 30, 2017 That green? Yeah... that'll need fixing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prondzy 3,867 #4 Posted June 30, 2017 Id say its a 753 based in the font axle and brake pedal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeeyre74 289 #5 Posted June 30, 2017 Is that just the next model year variation? As in the 753 took the place of the 702? What is the difference in the brake pedal between the two? I'm going to look at it right now. He said it runs, and drives, and will take $150 for it… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,737 #6 Posted June 30, 2017 For $ 150 you best get over there in a hurry! Who cares if it is a 702 or 753, it is a great buy! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTOM 124 #7 Posted June 30, 2017 Hey Mike, its a 753. The motor spec number is also a 63. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,274 #8 Posted July 1, 2017 The front axle, fuel tank and lift assembly says it's a 63 or 64 to me. So I would say definitely not a 702. But as stated already for 150$ I'd go get it for sure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #9 Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Run Forest, run!!! - I just bought a 701 at the Big Show for $250 and was thrilled, even though it has a 702 hood and single pulleys (k161 engine though!). Don't worry about what it looks like now, you'll knock any ugly right off! Edited July 1, 2017 by dells68 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeeyre74 289 #10 Posted July 1, 2017 It's in the back of the truck as I type this. Too tired to take it out till tomorrow. I'll take some pictures then of the "interesting customization" work done by the PO. ;D it's pretty solid tho, anyway. Looks like a good platform to start from. Also, I think this is the first tractor I have ever bought that starts and runs without having to work on it at all. Heh! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikeeyre74 289 #15 Posted July 1, 2017 Ok, you asked for them: Flames. My goodness... That carburetor can't be original. It's too clean. Need a filter housing for that element as well. Fuel leak at the gasket. But I'll be darned, I heard it run off a jumppack at his house before I loaded it up. That pinstriping! I'm in the market for whatever sheet metal goes over this area I guess.. I'm not sure what the story is with these welded on things here on the pedals. Any ideas? I'm going to buzz them off pretty soon if nobody knows. I can't imagine they belong there? That hitch works like a champ! Need to fix up the box on the rear there, but that should be easy enough. Straight pipe. Oh, it sounds good tho! That's a two position key switch. I heard it was supposed to have three? What's the third position for? This has just run and don't run for the key. Glorious! So that's what I have to start with. I'm all about hearing what's right and wrong and what to look out for with these. It might be q bit before I can start in on this because my 120A project is on the front burner still... But I need to gather parts anyway, and that'll take time.

ACman 7,510 #17 Posted July 1, 2017 Looks got to me for $150 ... say for a few changes . What was the PO thinking ... That's Deutz Spring green if I ever ever seen it . Why not use a red , orange , black ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #18 Posted July 1, 2017 Nice! Easy enough to get rid of that ugly neon green. Check around here or on fleabay and you'll find a gasket for that two piece tank - they all leak. I was surprised that my 701 has a 1 piece tank. Looks just like the later tanks, had no idea a 701 had a 1 piece - I just lucked out! Yup, buzz off those brackets on the foot rests. Someone has put little hooks on mine that almost look like grease nipples - drilled and tapped them into the rod. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #19 Posted July 1, 2017 The 702 never had the star wheel adjustment for the lift arm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikeeyre74 289 #21 Posted July 2, 2017 Update: Got a battery for this little guy and tossed it in there. Didn't notice the custom made really nicely done battery bracket until I installed the battery, but that was a nice surprise. Anyway, got her installed and it fired right up and ran. No surprise, with that straight pipe on there, it's loud as the dickens.. that thing has to go. Years are still ringing! Two problems: 1. She grinds gears like no tomorrow. Very bad. Belt skips and hops and chatters like a caged animal. I'll have to look into if this is the right belt or not. It APEARS to new, whatever it is, but it mightn't be the right size.. The belt guard IS on there, but I'm not sure if it's been modified or not. I'm still looking into that. I can see that the belt pokes out through the bottom of the guard and I can see it plain as day.. is that normal? 2. Not charging. I'm not really surprised, with all that green paint on everything. I haven't done anything more than check battery voltage while running and I can see that it's not charging.. I'll clean all the contacts at a later date and re check. I'm all ears for the usual suspects for these, as I'm not that familiar with them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTOM 124 #22 Posted July 2, 2017 I'll have to swing by and give it a good once over. You have a good start so far for what you have into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #23 Posted July 2, 2017 I'm betting your shifting problem will be resolved once the correct belt guard is in place. Original, should capture the belt within the guard, not hang out the bottom. Congrats, you done good, looks like an easy restore...& fun project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can see it in the pic I posted above originally, there's the whole bottom end of the belt guard/guide sawed right off. And here I thought I just needed the left hand side cover to make things right! Sheesh.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTOM 124 #25 Posted July 2, 2017 The previous owner did a pulley swap. The pulley on the motor is to big which is why the belt is coming out the bottom of the belt gaurd. Check the pulley on the trans, it should be 4" in diameter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
