Hard to tell picture might help, EPCO (Engineering Products Co) was the parent company they started building tractors in 1946 basically all tractors were Economy's the llarger models were Power Kings smaller ones were Country Squires or Jim Dandy's engines over the years were Wisconsin singles B&S and Kohlers hp ranged from 7 to 18 in 1978 EPCO renamed the tractors Power Kings using the rear wheel size and engine power to designate models. What is refereed to the all metal tractor was from 1946 thur 1984 transmissions were the same but differentials changed first used was Ford Model "A" later Dana's

I believe they were called Economy until the word "economy" got to be associated with cheap, they they called them Power King. They were sold to another company and rebranded Red E also. Same tractor. There was a Power Queen, and Jim dandy too, these were smaller. All built by the same company.
 
In 1946 when EPCO started the Model designation was Economy and yes they built tractors for others one being Red E they only built 4 whell tractor for Red E for several years EPCO never owned Red E and yes the small tractors were Jim Dandy's they built a line of catalog sales tractors named Country Squire these were in efeect a facotry direct sales in 1978 EPCO redesignated the Models from just Power KIng or Jimdandy to a number systen using the rear tire size and engine hp thus a 14 hp Power king with 16" rear wheel became a 1614 the smaller Jim Dandy became a 1612 the Economy name was used thur 1989 as my 1989 (Plastic) Power King is Power King 1620 Economy tractor EPCO was sold sometime in the late 1980's never rebranded but did build tractors for Snapper for several years

Well they are Power King frames the first picture the rear wheel were 24" has 5 bolt hubs other were 16" from what I can see most likely all had Kohler 14 hp K321 engines all are the Dana differential
all pre 1980 model years for sure do you have some picture of the front of the frame and front axle
 
I think there is a loader frame. One of the fellows loading thought it was a loader frame. Also a
mower deck. I really just wanted one but all three came as a package. Looks as I have a few spare
parts.
 
The mower deck I can see is a post 1974, in 1973 they came out with what is called the long hood models, in 74 the front quick hitch mounts were added and in late 74 and 75 on they had 3 pt hitches before that was a lift drawbar if you want to sell the FEL you will have no trouble selling it there is always someone wanting one how many transmissions did you get
