I just got the bug for the Model 70. I now own 2 of them and would like to know what year they are. First one is serial # 060358 and next up is 037485M. Any help is greatly appreciated. One has a chrome type steering wheel (#2) and the other has rubber (#1)

Mike, using the "Type Code" and the serial numbers you have you can look them up in the registry. Assuming the type code is T2011 on both, the 060358 is a '74, and the other is a '71.
I cheated and just ran down the list to find a registered one nearest your numbers.

Thanks Tom ! I tried to use the registry but it didn't work for me. These are very cool little tractors indeed.
They will both be restored but mine might look more like a 110 when it's done. My wife is the one that loves the darn thing to begin with so hers will be stock.

I told you Mike they are like rabbits,, good finds.

Pictures?

 

[7dad34]

None yet Mike but I'll get a couple posted. You know I can't do it, I'll have to wait for my son.

 

[mikeduwe]

If you email them to me I will post them up Mike.

 

[7dad34]

Thank you, I will probably do that instead.

There they are. The one with the deck is soon to be the replacement for Bugsy. It's all original, a 1971. Next up will be my hotrod, a 1974. Right now it has a Honda motor out of a pressure washer from what the PO says. I have a 8 hp B&S on the way with electric start. I plan on making that one look like a 110 much like the cat had up at Horicon.
Both will have footrests. There's really no place to rest your foot. I am now a big fan of these little tractors. Shannon warned me though that they are just like rabbits, and now I believe him !

Very nice Mike, like the original seat

 

[7dad34]

On which one ?
I don't know anything about these little ones !

 

[skidooruffie]

the 1 with the deck is original for sure not sure on the other

Nice finds, I see very little rust.

I pulled mine out of a fenceline when I got it, but its gettin there!

Keep us posted on the progress.

Very true, not much rust at all if any. That's why I got them, easy to restore. I'm taking my wife's down to the shop tomorrow to start working on it. Volleyball starts Tuesday and I have some outside staining to get done so it will be awhile.
