STICK_SAVE 5 #1 Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Hi I just picked up my first Wheel Horse. Its a 702 , included was an RM-425 deck. Is this the correct deck for my tractor? Edited May 30, 2019 by STICK_SAVE wrong model 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,703 #2 Posted May 29, 2019 Welcome to Red Square!! The RM 425 is an uncommon deck. at 42 inches it would be a bit much for 7 hp Normally your 701 would have a 32 or 36" deck Click below for a link to manuals for you r new horse 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 29,408 #3 Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Not the correct deck . Still a Great Score!! Edited May 30, 2019 by Achto 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 10,739 #6 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) That's a great looking 702. Has it been repainted with Red Oxide Primer? Edited May 30, 2019 by oliver2-44 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 51,847 #10 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) As the others said a very nice patina, I vote keep it orginal and work it. Dan @Achto and Paul needs to edit they're posts now we know it's actually a 702. Mention of a new to us 701 around here gets more than a few of us hot and bothered!

pfrederi 18,703 #11 Posted May 30, 2019 Changing to 702 doesn't really change much. 42 inch deck would not have come with it. (It is a complex belt drive deck that some big block short frame tractor owners might be very interested in) 42 inches is lot for 7 hp 702 manuals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STICK_SAVE 5 #14 Posted May 31, 2019 Since the RM-425 mower deck does not fit I’m going to be selling it, does anybody have an idea of its value? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
