Don't know if this is a good deal and I don't know if I can run a mower off the back.  Any advice would help.   Comes with a harrow, cultivator, and breaking plow.  Thanks David

Be careful it looks like it has a different motor in it . That's what I gave for mine and it was totally restored.. But the equipment is worth something.

Bringman- check it out.  

Yes, may have a different motor, and looks like the sheet metal has been altered some to accomodate. See how well the changeover was done. The original Onan 16 hp. may have failed, and the unit was repowered with a Kohler, Briggs, or Honda.  (total Onan overhauls are very expensive). If done correctly, this is a perfectly usable fix.  (if you are not a stickler for original only). I had to pay 2800.00 for my 620 with a belly mower, blade and moldboard plow, so if the tractor is in good shape, the price may be in the ballpark, depending on what these units bring in your area.

There are  mowers for the 3 point on the back of these tractors as long as there is a pto.  Original mowers seem to be quite expensive.  If no pto, you can pull a newer rear mower with one of those that are powered by an engine mounted on the mower.

After getting the pics to zoom in a little it appears to be an Onan based on the oil fill tube and intake manifold showing in the left side pic, spark plug placement and oil filter location but with an alternator addition modification which resulted in the cutouts in the hood.
