They multiply like gremlins
 

Got this cool 104 built in 1969. Got it for a little of nothing. Had been disassembled for some repairs and the gentleman got sick and passed away. His son said he knew nothing about it except it ran when his dad took it apart. He said here's some parts he'd bought also. It was a new clutch disc and a rebuild kit for the pto clutch with new bearing and collar. It has a creeper, the driveshaft is in great shape, oil is clean, not brand new clean but ran a while clean. It has a factory cigarette lighter which I thought was cool. Oh and it has a really good mower deck with it. Looks like he had taken the engine loose to remove the clutch, took fenders off and seat bracket, and took a few bolts out of the frame where the rear end bolts in. Also had an extra set of rear wheels. I don't think it would take much to put it back together. Did the 104's have a flip seat with springs? That's the one thing that was missing was the seat. Looks like he was about to put a high back seat on or it already had one on it when taken apart. Just wondering if the base was original with springs and flip up hinge

Congrats on the nice 104, I like mine a lot!:beerchug:

Nice score on the 104!

IIRC the 104 had the padded vinyl covered fiberglass seat

Yes but did the base have the ability to flip up or was it stationary like the 102. The 102 has adjustment back and forth. if you loosen the bolts it slides back and forth, but this is the only movement. The base on the 104 appears to be able to flip up so the seat back will rest on the steering wheel like some larger tractors do. Was just wondering if this was original equipment

Yes, the 4/5 series tractors had a flip up seat. However, there were no springs on them. That didn't come till the 6/7 series.

Congrats on the new to you 104!:beerchug:
