I just picked up an Original yesterday. I was told it's a '62, but I'm not good at deciphering the numbers yet. The number is 34195.
It does need a resto, but it's all there. No parts are missing. It's just what I was looking for-something I can tinker with. The pan seat isn't cracked, it runs good, doesn't smoke and it goes through all the gears just fine.
I plan on painting it, but I'm in no hurry. I figure I'll take it apart little by little and fix it up. As I'm not familiar with these tractors, I'll need a few pointers on some things. Here's my first questions:
The clutch pedal is a bit stiff. Is this normal? Or does it need adjusted? The gears ingage fine, just the pedals stiff...hard to push down.
It needs new throttle and choke cables. I'd like to find the original style that it came with. Where can these be had? Are there new ones made of the same style, or am I limited to used? I'll post a couple pics. Let me know what you guys think.
