Dynamark Tractor

Cool! I have a plate right between the battery and the gas tank. Try red on black, or neon green on black!

Fairly old you say, what year is it? Older than '90s? I'm trying to figure out how old mine is. I was thinking 1960 something.

I havn't found a date plate, but best guess would be mid 80's and possibly as new as 97. There's not much out there and the original decals have been painted over. I'm hoping I can find a data plate somewhere. The odd thing is that most that I saw online have the fuel cap through the hood, this doesn't. I also need to figure out how to release those goofy wing nut clips to get the hood open.

I haven't looked for one, but i will haha.

Ok, please do!

Either neon green or fire engine read pin strips. ;-)

YESSSSS. I soo want to try green. This is my hot rod, with the red.

It doesn't look so good cause it's been in storage for a while.

I have the model/serial numbers for my running one, but i don't know how to get the year out of that lol

Ha ya, maybe Google it?

its like mine but mine says sears lol







Except im not using the center body tub where the shifter is,Im mixing in a tub from a 80's agway along with the foot boards off from it. Im using the sears grill/hood/dash/fenders




this is the donor agway

Wish I had a big clean shop like that! Looks nice!

its not that big lil its 14x12 built it from 6x8 pallets that are made with 2x4's and it needs a good cleaning its messy lol

Well hey, it's better than me! I have a 6x4 foot square in the middle of my dad's garage! But it's better than nothing!

Dynamarks were built by AYP - same as older sears tractors- ive owned a few dynamarks over the years, and still own 3 of them currently- an '82, '84 and a '88 . After the '90's, dynamark was bot by toro and they went to a full plastic hood setup, then was no longer built.

Tennessee Cowboys is an '82 - just like mine - the dynamark chassis on the sawhorses is earlier then that ( white grilles are an earlier model) - i had one with a teccy 10HP it had a 'brain box'/voltage regulator and points ( points were on tractors before '80), rear discharge deck and a white plastic grille- sheetmetal was black and white while the deck was red - i kick myself for getting rid of it ...


Reason i know how old mine are is they still have thier factory motors, all briggs with date codes on them - i had a parts 'blue' dynamark that had a cigarette lighter - none of my others have one tho...

I like the dynamarks for their plain toughness, easy to work on and easy to remove the deck ( one pin, remove the belt and out it comes ).


Only sort of drawback is the pan chassis setup - it can flex and eventually break - if it was reinforced, then it should handle pretty much anything.

Yes Sir. I guess mine is earlier! Did you see the photos I had posted? The only plastic is the gas cap and tank. It also has the early Briggs and Stratton logos in em.

This is kinda off topic, but about the points and condenser. Mine originally had them, but the spark plug wire on the coil had melted. So I put in a newer magnetron (or whatever) coil and it runs perfect. Is that ok?

That sounds right on my mower, I knew it was either a '72, '73, or '82 lol. Just couldnt remember for sure. Btw, is your parts Dynamark stock blue? Those things are pretty rare aren't they?

Tried it dude, haha.

I took some pics of my other Dynamark to show yall. This is my next project if i can find a engine to put in it.

Oh nice. That's like right between mine and his. But it still does have the gas cap thru the hood.

That's nearly identical to mine with the exception of the gas cap in the hood. Awesome to see another one so similar. In all of my searching, I have not seen another one that was that close to mine.

Ya, I believe this is similar too. It's been reprinted, so you can really see the colors. http://nh.craigslist.org/bar/3425394337.html

Ours do look alike lol. There's no serious body damage on it that i can tell. It just needs to be cleaned up a little. And i'm pretty sure the transmission is still good too. I guess i'll find out when i pull it to my garage haha. And thanks for that link, that tractor is awesome!!

Ha, yep you're welcome. I almost bought that one, but I don't have space for it!
Good luck with yours fellows.

^ lol i was looking at that one too on craigslist

Did it run? And what engine was in it?

Dd the one on Craigslist run? Yes. It had the original motor in it I believe.

So it ran, and it was $100? I've seen worse deals lol

Oh ya totally. And I've seen better! The dynamark I have need a carbeurator rebuild, but it ran. $20! It was awesome!

Ya, I was just thinking if you where local.(I'm up and over in NH) I would really like to keep it whole too, like doing a restoration job.
The original color is orange, but someone had painted green over it. Seems kinda like what you've got. But the dash is really similar. That's something I haven't seen. Does yours have a lighter on it?

I could really use that grill right now lol the corner hing part on mine is broke and its gunna be a pain to make it work lol
