It's probably 76-77 with the fuel tank on that side and the points still on the handrails. Does it have 3 bolt rims?

[Nubs]

Yes Sir, three bolts.

In the other forum I had posted that I thought it was a Tecumseh machine, but after looking at the pictures again I see one piece (welded sprockets) axles and a flat hood so it probably had a Kohler 399 in it. Still very early poly body so may be as early as 74. The very early Tecumseh machines had a wire mesh box covering the tec. ohv cut into the hood and later had a molded hood over the ohv.

Ok, i'm good with that. i guess my only concern is the transmission as far as if it was used for a few years or if there was different versions? i understand that there was different gear ratios. is there still parts available should there be a problem. i'm big into the briggs vanuards that i run in the pullers so thats most likely the way i'll go. i also have a 20hp honda that may be a good choice.
Thanks for the replies, i'm looking forward to getting started.

Most parts are ,some aren't, the trans is upgradeable and that case style was made till 2006.

I have one very similar only difference I see is mine has 4 bolt wheels, where did you find the serial #? I cant find one on this one.

i found a foil decal/sticker on the dash panel.

Thanks, I have been looking everywhere, I do believe mine is long gone. no sticker on dash.
