Some random guy replied to my I NEED BROKEN MOWERS AD & showed me this beauty! He said everything works besides the steering box & it was pretty cheap & I always wanted a Squarebody AYP so I told dad that I wanted to get this thing! He said that he is tired of hauling 24/7 stuff home 4 me & then I decided since it were only 15KM to the seller to take the DYNAMARK WOODS BEATER! the ride took only 2hrs til & 2hrs back!
OK, ENOUGH BORING TALK! HERE R THE PICS!
I really like it! it has a 12HP Flathead that doesnt smoke & a Peerless 930 5speed came with bagger as well needs a new seat & the deck welded on few spots I prolly PEERLESS 600 SWAP it & slightly reinforce it & give it a VANGUARD

That blue Royal would be a good tractor to play with!
yeah 4 sure! I love its body & its pretty sturdy built! I definitely need to figure something out with the damn steering!! Gen1 skips teeth 24/7 thats Y it was so cheap! Gen2 box & shaft would be extremely expensive as OEM Parts off ebay! new gen1 steering box is expensive as well & will fail again!

Oh yes, the ol' gen 1. LOL. Yeah if i were you I'd buy Murray steering (AKA gen 2/3) and just convert it over. RedneckComputerGeek has a how-to for that on YT.

fired it up 4 the 1st time on my property, it wo'nt start without brake cleaner in the intake & hot the engine needs to be choked to fire up as well & stuff, gonna dig into it soon, but this 1 does smoke 0% & has more compression than all my other flatheads had

Looks pretty clean. Personally I wouldn’t mess with trying to put a 600 in. Just keep the rear end the way it is and play with it. Pulley swap and gen2 steering is all it really needs. A vanguard wouldn’t hurt though

That actually doesn't sound all that healthy, sounds like it's got a miss to me. Nice find though.
thats cuz the carb isnt adjusted right & after 20 years the Valves need to be lapped on these things...

Yeah it needs a new carb.
Ill try to clean it & throw it back in & maybe that was everything it needed...

I hate center shift! Its so uncomfortable & I need 1 mower where I can use that trans since a Dynamark isnt worth 1 IMO... Yeah Gen2 is 1st priority! Vanguard will never hurt LOL since I have 3 lying around
