New to me 55
 

Well, I just got a 55 today, it is a well used and not well taken care of unit.

It has a 5 HP Tecumseh. The carb is a blob of electrolisis. But some carb cleaner sprayed in it, and it started.

I hope y'all can bread down some of these numbers for me.

Where do you find the Carb #?

The engine numbers are as follows

TVM125 60246P C

DOM 4165 D

Tractor Model number 55 GA

IH Data plate Number 0300006U017831

Thanks,

Jon

Congrats on your 55! Let's see some pics. :beerchug:

X2!

:Welcome2:

On the tecumsehs it is looked up off your model number, but the part number is 632233A, and the rebuild kit is 632235. A good site I use to look up parts is partstree.com they tend to have very clear diagrams. Hope this helps some, and :WWP:

Jfejedelem,

Thanks, I found a new carb online, it's on it's way.

Jon

Okay, here are some pics.

In that last pic, is that Oil drain thing factory?

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,
Good to see you made it over from OWWM :beerchug:

Jeff

I am not sure on the oil drain, but I am almost positive the motor is newer than the tractor

Hey Jeff, thanks.

Jfejedelem, I tend to agree with you, I'm thinking it has been repowered. I have yet to find any indication that the 55 ever came with a Tecumsch.

Can anybody decode the Mower number and give me a year?

Or send me somewhere to find information on how to decode it?

Thanks,

Jon

I believe they did come with tecumsehs. The only reason I say that is I just saw a similar cub cadet rer that was suppose to be original, and it had a tecumseh that was painted the same ih white as the chassis.

Well I cant seem to find the tractor I saw before, and I was wrong from the pictures I found the 55 came with briggs motors not tecumseh.
