Chris G 3,334 #1 Posted December 2, 2017 Picked this up about a hour away from me today. Put a battery on and gas in and fired up with out even choking it. Needs a lift cable and some very minor things. So over all super happy with it, guy even threw in a old bead breaker for changing tires. The gentlemen I bought it from said his dad bought it brand new and up until a year ago he mowed with it. 7 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,630 #2 Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) .....Great score Chris and it looks to be all there too in it’s original working clothes . Even has the correct starter/generator belt guard . Make sure to check to see if the dealership is listed or you could add photo to th dealer list . http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/64506-dealer-list/ My only questions to the experts is the metal shifter gate off a different model as I haven’t seen one on a 702 . Also the backrest , is that a aftermarket or off a Massey Ferguson (I think Massey used the same seat pan) or other brand ?

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,360 #3 Posted December 2, 2017 I like the safety handles on the seat , kind of hard to fall off the tractor . That is a heavy duty bead breaker. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris G 3,334 #5 Posted December 2, 2017 Ya the seat is different then the normal square seat pan. But I'm gonna see what I can do to make a new pad for the back and keep it on there. The shift Plate is really well made and the previous owner said his father built that to help them learn were the gears were. And as far as the bead breaker I been looking for one for awhile. Cause they work great on these old tractor tires. It's made by speedmaster in Oakland California. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benji756 341 #7 Posted December 2, 2017 we had that same bead breaker on the farm when I was growing up, I can remember it as far back as the mid 60's and it was old then, worked great. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 58,276 #10 Posted December 3, 2017 That is a great find, I like the back rest 2 hours ago, ACman said: the backrest , is that a aftermarket or off a Massey Ferguson Never have seen that on a MF, but it looks a bit like the Allis Chalmers though not an exact match. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
