Looks like someone made it to look like a john deere with the wheels painted yellow and the seat also looks to be JD. The pto lever can be attached to either side so some one just wanted it on the left.

Dad's 49 66 had the 60 style seat on it. Who knows what the years have done to the one on that 77,but his looked just the one on a 60. His PTO lever was on the right. I didn't know they used that style front wheel on them real early on.

The seat isn't JD. It's the same one they used on the 60's. Frame is just a little different to mount like a Fleetline seat. As far as I know, the early 48's left the factory with a left hand pto lever like the old style 88's did.

Old style 88's used the cast front hub so the 77 should have had them as an option from the start I would think.

The extra weight would have been a good thing,I can tell you that. lol

As you probably know there were 3 styles of band brakes. The first style had the brake petals attached to the brake cam. I don't remember style 2 right now. It has been probably a minimum of 45 years since I worked on a tractor equipped with band brakes. Style 3 had the adjustable linkage. The first 5600 77 tractors had style one brakes.

Ide believe it. Our 77 wide front with the heavy hubs still has times when it would be nice to have more iron out front.
