Mine is a '71 Hydrostatic 14 hp. Not the original colors and the headlights are modern driving lights. Control knobs are modern machine knobs. Otherwise original. Refurbished 12/11.

Here's mine not really as pretty as Jack's but I'm just about finished with the Heald Hauler so may get to the Wards in a couple of weeks.

Nice pictures, haven't seen too many around of them ,but these are a good selection of Wards Tractors. Some good ideas to. thanks One of mine is like the 16 HP (I guess its an 1983)Tractor Mower I have the receipt when bought. For Information ......sold for $939.05, the mower part was $229.95, $58.45 tax total of $1227.45 8/18/83 Boerne Tx.

There is a guy as I go to work that has one of the 16 HP ones. It looks to be in very good condition. But I've never seen too many of them and I think I only saw one at PA Plow Day.

anyone have one of the old M W walk behind tillers that had the gear shifter on the trans. 2 speeds forward and 1 reverse, we have two of them that are still used but I dont have any pics of them.

Hi jdrobison, I wasn't aware the M Wards sold a tiller like that, I have a Sears Roto-Spader that has that arrangement, hi and lo fwd and reverse, I converted mine to a pull behind and it works great. Its amazing how well all the garden equipment was built back in the day and it still works good.

 

[jdrobison]

OOOOPS, your right, one of those brain farts hit and I was thinking it was mw. but it is sears.:sorry1:

GB, I would really like to see a picture of yours. I am thinking of making one of mine a tow behind and need some ideas. :thanku:

 

[GB in MN]

Hi I have days like that no biggy, here's a couple of pics these were before I added the 2 outer tines to make it 35"

 

[jdrobison]

That is sharp looking,:fing32: looks like you just added the flat plate under the engine to attach your hitch to. I just put a OHV briggs on the one we use. was thinking of possibly going with a hydo motor to power the tiller. I have a pump on my 147 for a log splitter I used to pull with it. I will post pics when I get going on this, but its not at the top of the list this year. so many projects-so little time.

OK...maybe it is a sickness
