ACman 7,504 #23 Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) My 1057 and favorite . I’m the second owner . I’ve never heard a quieter deck than this one. My 856 . There’s a short back seat under the cushion somewhere. This is a photo off eBay and I scored it with the cart too just as a bonus . I was the only bidder. My 212-6 . Now at my cousins house on mowing duty . My cousins (1967 I believe) lawn Ranger. It was doing the mower duties but didn’t wanna blow up the Tecumseh !

squonk 38,811 #24 Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) My 857 I got from HHHOOOWWWAAARRRDDD!!! @857 horse . I think the paint is original. You can see the holes in the hood for the insect sprayer mounting and the on the exhaust pipe is the hook up for it. Hey HHHOOOWWWAAARRRDDD!!! . The # 8 is on the hood. Is that the number you were telling me about at the show? Edited July 30, 2019 by squonk 5 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,849 #25 Posted July 30, 2019 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Here are photos of my 653. It is 100% original. All decals are present and intact even on engine. Even the carburetor looks like it has never been touched. The plow has never been mounted with the hardware still in the sealed bag. Tires still have a lot of the "knibs" on them. It has only cut grass twice in its life. Cas (additional info edited in) Bought it in 2007 on eBay. It came from Columbus,Ohio.My fiercest competitor for it was Wild Bill. It was his questions to the seller and the fact that he stated who he was that really sparked my final interest in the tractor. Needless to say it did not come cheap. I seem to be the third owner. It was originally owned by an elderly gentleman in a farming comunity and it was only used by him for transportation. Its second owner had it only for a little while and used it only twice to mow an elementary school yard. I don't believe this tractor has ever stayed outside one day in its life or ever felt a drop of rain. With the exception of a bill of sale every other piece of paper that came with it in 1963 I have, down to the engine tag warning to put oil in before using. Everything feels tight like new specially the steering. It was certainly loved by its previous owners as testified by its condition. It has never been touched by paint or a wrench. It only had one diode changed at some time in the past . I can also state that it will stay that way for at least two more generations, since it will not go anywhere during that time. 8 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
