I picked this Squire up today. Serial number looks like 1803. It is pretty complete and came with an early deck.
I put gas in it and hooked a battery up, it spins over fine but i think it may have an intake valve problem.
It has one original tire on it. If anyone here has an extra diamond style rear tire that is usable, let me know as i would be interested in buying it. I have never seen this tread pattern on a rear tire but the 1962 MW literature shows this is what they came with.

| Wow! Bolt up deck! Looks like it is in good shape. Heavy. Only thing I disliked about that deck was the stationary idler pulley. |

| Jeff; M E Miller tire in Ohio has that tread pattern in a 6x12 size. Pricey though, $135 each. Google them if you are interested....Dave |
Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

Thanks Dave. I looked at millers site. The tire is close but doesnt look like it has the sidewall sipes the this one has. I was just hoping to find a mate to this one. And yes, the ones at Miller are PRICEY!!!
I am not sure what i am going to do with this MWs yet. If i can get it running with minimal work, i will mount the sickle or sprayer and run it. If not, it may be a doner for my B1s.
The BGB and steering very nice with no play. |

| Jeff, is it a Riverside tire, or a Schenuit? My WB700 has the same look, and has Schenuit's all the way around. I'm a big fan of the tread. My other Wards (bronze) all have Riverside's, as does my early Culti-cutter. |

| Nice find! I have a 62 as well. One of those back burner dwellers at the moment. |
