Super cool Adam.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one to see how you make out with it.

Very Nice, did you get the blade that goes in the front of that mount.

if you have a serial number I can tell you the year. I recently came across a chart with that info.

Going to say early 60's . Plow frame looks like it's either homemade or another brand adapted to fit.

Thank you. I did get the blade with the tractor I removed it in order to make it fit on the trailer. I did try to run the serial number on the small plate below the dash. I did not come up with anyting. From what I can tell there should have been a larger plate on the dash itself. Unfortunately that plate is gone.

Economy made great little tractors. They are really hard workers.

Should look like this...minus the box tubing I welded on it to adapt to my Kioti...

That blade was for 73 and up Economys. Older blades had the trip springs in the center close to each other

I have something similar that came with it, just not as nice.  Thank you.

Got the economy tractor running today. It took three people to get her pushed into the shop. WOW, heavy. Post some pics this weekend.

I have a '77 1614.  Its not visibly rusty, but  the rear wheels are frozen to the hubs and both transmissions are jammed - can't get into neutral to push the tractor.

Economy Tractor, the new wrecker.  She's big & ugly enough to be crowned the Queen of the Boneyard.  Towed a five hundred pound WH with flat tires through the mud form the boneyard to the shop with ease.  Spring project C-101.

Thanks.  My neighbors may not agree with you though, I was wondering why they stopped waving.

neighbors that don't think old tractors are awesome are neighbors that you don't want to be friends with anyway

The Economy Tractor hooks another one.  Stuffed it right in the shop.  So much easier than tugging, pushing & pulling which is usually followed by a series of obscenities.

You can still let out your series of obscenities while using your Economy Tow Truck

That “new” Sears Suburban has a manual 3 point, I have the links too.  I wonder if it could be adapted to be a crane lift fulcrum....

 

Oh boy.  Another project.  Thanks @Herder!

Time to build a tow truck.  It makes life easier.  I've gotten to old to push around 500 pound tractors with flat tires, well lets call it lazy.
