my tractor need info.

hey guys and gals of atltf. so I have had this lawn tractor for awhile now and i found this site and figure id post a picture of it. so i got this for free from one of my dad's buddies and i  just starting to work on it and i really want to figure what brand it is? and what motor that it? i can get more pictures... dont mind the metal in the back round. anyone got any ideas of what it is?[img][/img]

that looks like a huffy but i might be wrong

yeah i was thinking it was a kinda weird lawn tractor... but looks like a briggs and stration engine

can you get some pics of the front and back? also, check on the frame, and tranny, for a small metal plate, that will usually tell what it is, but it looks like the frame has been repainted so it might be hard to find

briggs made H shift ones to,

ok yeah guys ill get some more pictures of the front and the back of the tractor. and yes its a h-shift.

ok so you guys asked for pictures of the front and back... sorry for some stuff n the way... and the back fenders are not bolted on
they are kinda just sitting their. but here they are.[img][/img][img][/img]

Idk about the mower brand but I'm 100% sure that's a briggs flatty by the carb, shroud, and pull-start.

Ok! I figured it was a Briggs but is their anyway to find out what kind of Briggs it is? Like 12hp?

Should be some numbers stamped into the shroud, the block, or maybe even carb. I don't remember where the id numbers were on flattys cause I haven't had one in a long time.

Ok I will look. Thanks!

as long as that engine hasn't been changed if you can figure out how old the engine is it will give you an idea as too how old that tractor is. but if its been changed then it wont help you at all.

Ok. I will try to figure out if the motor has been changed or not... And my dad says he thinks it's a old tractor

Ok guys and gals... I'm getting closer to figuring out what it is... I have not found the metal plate yet... But I have been looking around and I am starting to think that it is "or is around a" 1969 huffy caprice.

Most likely. Sounds pretty spot on for mini mowers. Worth around $200 to the right person if it runs and drives. Id love to have one. Them things are too cool

Dang $200 is it runs and drives!!! Is that if it's orginal? Cause mine does neither...

Lol, yea pretty much, its all original and condition is usually what people look for, so that number can change, i mean it depends on who you sell it too also.

Yeah... your right about that... But I have no plans on selling it any time soon... But any one got any ideas of which way I should go... Should I go the go kart way? Like fearlessfront did? Or should I go off road mudding machine? Or any other ideas?

i think you should lift it 8 inches in the front and the rear and put 20 inch tires all the way around and off road it

yeah but i dont really have good places to go off road around where i live... unless drive an hour away... and 1 problem i cant drive

I personally don't think that is the stock motor those tractors usual come with tecumsehs but I may be wrong and just by the looks of the engine and the tractor it has ben painted and messed with wouldn't doubt the motor has ben swapped
