This thing has your name all over it then, I will drop it off at your dads when I see him.

Since it is the C-series 70, I hope you got it for the characteristic Uncle Lewy's 1 C-note price!!!

Great find my friend!!

Thank you! Is Seymour Hiny related to Mr. Bunz?

None that I can see, I will remove it and check out the bottom to see if the hoopy thingys are still there.

Nice find Lew. You always sniff out the good deals.

That old 7hp going to be for parts? I need some of them. Seriously.

So I got a look see at this, wiring harness is questionable, roll pin is broken by the GDR.
Brakes work, and it does have a decent deck, missing parts of the baffles though.
It was hot today and the pool was calling so I took a break.
PM sent JB

Nice looking tractor Lew!! I really like the 70/100's.. they are dirt simple but rugged and reliable.. easy to work on.. and on top of all that they have good lines!

Very nice. I'd for sure fix and use. Great patina!

I got this to run today, no smoke, the roll pin was not broke but the clutch needs some attention. ';'

Imagine that.

Last week I spent some time fixin' stuff the get it to be a worker. Starts on the first revolution, putt putt putt putt...

Serviced the clutch.
Replaced the damaged PTO lever.
PTO works now.
Did a little rewiring and now the battery charges.
It was missing the S/G.
Put in a used key switch instead of twisting the wires together.
New points, and plug, 55 year old condenser still working.
Replaced the muffler.
Unfroze the front steering knuckles.
Fixed the leaky tank, put a sediment bowl filter on.
Cleaned and put a new kit and throttle bushing in the carb.
Replaced the froze up choke cable.
Drained the trans and replaced with hytran from the 1512.
Still need a shifter knob thingy.
The deck I replaced two rusty outer pulleys, and idler. Blades were still sharp.
I reused the old belts as they look like they were replaced.

All parts I got from the used parts store, except the clutch disc, a guy I know had a used one.
Now the 70 is a turn key tractor.
