Maiden voyage of the 18049-01 deck on the 1476

Recommended Posts

Not a great video, but this single cylinder 14hp Wisconsin being much lighter than the cast iron twin engines handles like it has power steering. The deck cuts great and it is nice and quiet.

Good to see the cutting deck being used. The engine sound very sweet too.

 

Will you be restoring the tractor too at some point?

I will. This will be the first large frame in the que for restoration. It is all original, but there are a few dings to the fender pan and hood, that I may have a body man knock out. The most challenging aspect is finding a chrome muffler heat shield like, or similar, to the original. I used a Farmall Cub tractor muffler as it was the same size as the OEM one, just not quite as rounded on the ends, but if I can find an original heat shield or have one made it should fit nicely over this muffler. The taller narrow tires really allow for easy steering for a tractor this big. I've noticed that the wider tires you have the harder it is to steer.
