PO did a LOT on this, converted to 12 volt coil ignition, replaced original engine with 14 hp, Found a larger transmission pulley to slow it down, then found a hi/lo and mostly rebuilt it including making new nylon pieces which just need the slot cut in them, collected spare belts for EVERYTHING, and collected manuals for everything and put them all together in a binder including his notes.
Has all the missing parts except the front PTO pulley, 46" Sickle bar mower, 46" remote angle dozer blade, 42" mower deck, 36" 3 pulley snow thrower, Hi/Lo setup, homemade stinger with weights, tire chains and more.
Pretty much everything is in a good state of maintenance, including the battery which ran it up the loading ramps on the S/G, and still has a good charge.
He blew the original engine bad, replaced it, and promptly blew the head gasket on the 14 hp, got discouraged, bought an old Ford GT??, and lately his wife had been harrassing him about that "Lawn Ornament" She probably desrved a kiss, but you can only pay so much....
Started out with 30 pictures I wanted to post, cut it down to 10.

| that is one sweet tractor. I guess you can really see how simple they were before the CPSC got busy messing them all up. Mine telling us what you gave. BTW: thirty photos would be just fine with me. |

$400, 8 hours in the tail end of that storm getting it home yesterday, and most of today unloading it and finding what I had. I still have dial up here and 10 photo's is about the limit for my patience at one sitting, but I can and will post some more when I have a few minuites. |

Nice find Larry, thats one good looking tractor with some real nice toys to go with it.
Just out of curiosity.....were the chrome headlights an option? I have seen a few machines with them on, but 98% of them have that I have seen the black Guide lights. Just wondering...... |

The headlights and the 2 chrome pieces that go on the sides of the grill look like they have been painted silver, haven't had a chance to see whats really up with them yet, |

I believe there were a number of years the chrome bezel was used and then the lights went to an all black bezel. I have an original 725 with the chrome bezels (switches on the back) and then a 3112H with chrome bezels which I think were a dealer addition (I think they don't have the switches, need to look). I was told that some dealers may have had the chrome bezels in stock for later year tractors and that is how that happened.
Larry nice find and save! |

| The mower deck looks like it's hardly been used, the bottom was dry and bare so I sprayed some oil on it. The snowthrower has original paint on the scraper and not a scratch either, the plow doesn't have a ding in it, the BGB and steering are as tight as they come, I dont know enough about sickle bar mowers in general or this one in particular to say much other than it's all there and if you turn the pulley the cutters go back and forth, the grill for 45 years old is nothing short of amazing. The more I look at it the more I'm impressed. |
