My new prodject help identify

Recommended Posts

Tommy Andersen

Hello all 

 

I live in Norway and have now bought my first Wheelhorse, its a restauration prodject i have just started with.

 

Found this tractor in an add on fb sold in the neighborhood, and wanted to save this tractor, i have used days (and nights) searching the web for pothos to try to identify the type with no luck... Hope you can help me. The main issue right now is to find the correct startermotor for the Kohler engine (startermotor was missing when I bought it). The engine in mounted with shavt pointing aft connected to hydrostat with axle.

 

Hope someone can help me with this.

I'm going to take guess, but it looks like a late 1970's MTD with the heavy-duty Peerless transaxle.

My guess is that it is a Gilson. Not sure on the model.

Engine is a Briggs & Stratton, model number in this range. (253400 thru 422700 and 460700, 461700-461799)

Identified by the fuel pump with the 3 screw cover. If you have the tins, the exact model number should be stamped into them.

Perhaps one of these manuals will aid you in finding the parts you need.

That is fine, we are open to working with owners of other brands too.  Perhaps one day a :wh: will come your way.
