I picked up this 1961 Wheel Horse 701 on Friday.
It still had the old Sears diehard battery in it from the 80's so it sat in the garage for a while. I spent a few hours on it and changed some wiring and some fuel lines, and got it running, runs well no smoke, and it does charge the battery. I see it is missing a footsy rest so what.
It has a nice patina on it.
It came with a front mount sickle bar mower, 36" mower deck , 42" snow plow in great shape, a cart, and a set of wheel weights.
I mounted the sickle bar mower to it today and it cut fine, not sure if the drive off the motor is correct but it only engages when it is lowered to the ground. There are not detents in the lift arm to keep it up higher, it seems this rides on the ground.
My plans are to mount the gear timed mower deck on it tomorrow and see how it cuts.
Pics or it is a figment of my imagination...
