grumpyoldcomputerguy 7 #1 Posted September 25, 2017 Bought a project, on purpose. I took a pic of the S/N tag located on the left side of the dash tower. Also took a couple of pics of the tractor. The man i bought it from thought it is a 1973 model. Hydrostat. Engine needs rebuilt. Can someone verify my year and model? Will send pics. Thanks. Jim.

grumpyoldcomputerguy 7 #3 Posted September 25, 2017 Thank you! After surfing some docs on here i thought so but wanted a 2nd opinion. I bought it for a winter project and hope to pull drag mowers with it next summer. I have a new tablet and trying to insert pics. Not yet successful. Lol. I currently own a 1998 JD GT 262 and have used it several years. Its time for a spare. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 22,242 #6 Posted September 25, 2017 Should be a great winter project. Hopefully the tranny is good, it's scary buying a hydro that you can't test. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grumpyoldcomputerguy 7 #14 Posted September 26, 2017 Thanks for all the welcome posts and the information. Much appreciated. I will get the pics up soon so you can see it. I have a swisher 44" finish mower that I pull offset to my JD with 48" belly mower. I plan to buy another swisher and pull 2 mowers on my acreage and let the Wheel Horse just loaf along. The hydrostat will work perfect for that. Jim 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,464 #18 Posted September 27, 2017 With some weight , that 14 Auto could pull two Swisher pull behind units and the Deere backwards along with them - don't discount what that hydro can do for work , it would surprise you a lot .If the pump is in decent shape (most are but no one ever changed the oil ) they are strong enough to break the frame - you'll see that around here to an extent when folks work them a bit too hard . Seems very nice , congrats . Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
