What can you tell me about a 7au? Having trouble finding info. Would it have a different model number?

Not many plivers here to pick from and even less Molina's. Shouldn't have to worry about buying to many.

I fancy myself a JD two cylinder man, but I've got a yard full of Minnies. Sometimes you choose the brand, sometimes the brand chooses you. A couple of the Minnies came from now passed friends, who didn't want to see them go to the scrappers. I've become awfully partial to a ZTU and a UTS and seem to pick one or the other when something needs doing. Oh, there's an Oliver 88 row crop LP buried out there somewhere as well. unc

Thank you for the info. I will probably be awhile before I look at it as my covid check gets mailed. I probably shouldn't buy it but i dont have a moline and have wanted one for awhile.i have been kind of hesitant to collect more than one brand as it becomes kind of a obsession.

The serial number plate is about 3"x5" on the right side of the transmission, the engine plate is on the side of the engine, the year can be told from either one.

Besides the usual old tractor ailments of any tractor that age. The hood above the muffler sometimes will rust. If it has a heavy cast iron belt pulley, it will turn if the clutch is engaged. There is no separate way to disengage it. It’s momentum will keep the tractor rolling if the tractor is in gear when you pull the clutch. Most simply remove the belt pulley and put a factory made cover over the belt pulley shaft. Other than that, they are a pretty nice tractor that can easily be modified for a buddy seat for tractor rides.

Yes, can anyone tell me the good points and weaknesses? Anything particular to look out for if buying?

I would suspect you are correct. Does it look like this?
