what is it???

Hard to order parts if I can't identify the *&$# thing.
I just brought it home tonight. It's bin siting in a barn for 3yr.
Guy said I don't know what wrong with it, just get it out of here.

Hope one or all can help
Thanks

Who ever painted this tractor did a good job on the Blue.
It sure looks like factory paint to me. blue inside + out.
Maybe they ordered it that way.?

It's a purity good looking tractor, is it worth an engine overhaul??
I can think of a lot of other things to put good money into.
Don't rely need a show tractor but a working one would be good.

Your tractor (147273) is definitely a 1955 TO-35. The casting date on the tranny case (C-22-5) means that it was cast on March 22, 1955. Your engine was built on April 18, 1955 and shipped to the tractor assembly plant on April 19. It should say Spec 13 on the right side of the engine SN tag. Your tractor should have a 12v electrical system.

I hope to get the power washer out this weekend and check
for other casting #. I should also add this thing has a loader in it. (Red) Bucket a little ruff but reparable. cylinders? to early to tell yet.
Needs to be washed real BAD.
Unknown if this tractor was 6 or 12 volt at this time. It's going
to need some wiring... There is a two post switch on top of the bell housing? Anyone know what that is- or was for, in this case? No key, just a ugly looking thing that used to take a key. and a starter button.
I guess ILL drop a battery in it and see how much compression I get. Any idea???

Thanks for the help Guys
