Hoythunter25 46 #1 Posted April 26, 2020 Hi Guys, I just picked up my first wheel horse today for a lockdown project. I don't know a whole lot about these tractors. I am hoping this is a good source to learn. Is there a good source for parts that anyone can share? I was told this is a 1967 704, is there a serial number chart to verify? It has a 7hp k161 kohler motor. What do you guys think about the purchase? 7 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoythunter25 46 #6 Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks for the warm welcome. I will check out the vendor section for sure. Here is another picture from the other side showing the 704 decal. 2 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoythunter25 46 #8 Posted April 26, 2020 So I believe this tractor has some sort of hitch mount that moves up and own? Can anyone fill me in on how that works? What is supposed to move it up and down? I think I may be missing some linkage or parts? Looks like previous owner welded a strap on this one to make it solid. I have aspirations of getting a single bottom plow and turning over a garden. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did however still have it and gave it to me. Initial inspection the original seems to be functioning, just needs wound back up and a new rope/handle. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
