I do not know the year of this machine. I bought it a few weeks ago, liked it and decided to fix it up. I bought a new seat, new front tires, put on new rear lights, made new light covers, bought a new battery, just put in a new heavy duty starter, cleaned the whole thing up and painted it Ford Tractor Blue with a spray gun. Why Ford Blue, you ask? Because I like that color.
It has a very nice 18 HP Twin Briggs that runs great. No knocks of smoke. Lots of power, nice little rumble to it. This is when Briggs built a good engine. 6 forward speeds and 2 in reverse. High Low Range. High 3rd is fast and Low 1st is extremely powerful. All the lights work fine. Yes, this machine has a frame. Its built tough.
I do not have a mowing deck for this tractor. There out there if you look hard enough. The weight box is included as are the wheel weights that are in the box. The wheel weights are not Craftsman, they are Ariens and they will not fit these wheels.
The 48 inch plow is included in the sale. I will not part it out at this point. I have put the plow on and it will remain on, unless the buyer needs it off to haul it.
I have put close to 300.00 into this machine plus my labor. Its well worth the starting bid and then some.
