Model 917.5752 "Garden Tractor" Manufactured from 1950 to 1953 Hooded tractor with red chassis and green wheels Briggs and Stratton 500.306197 @ 1.6 hp (Briggs model 6) One piece frame Spring type clutch This second model of the David Bradley tractor was very much like the later versions of the first. This model introduced an improved front hitch, which was bolted to a welded bracket under the engine mount. The saddle bar also became standard equipment. This hitching arrangement continued for all subsequent models. The round rod diagonal brace under the engine mount disappeared at this time because the new hitch helped provide this support. The clutch was changed slightly to add six alignment lugs to the drive pulley to match notches in the clutch facings. The clutch pulley changed to aluminum also. Engine pulleys were steel for the most part, but some aluminum ones have been seen. Other features remained the same as the 5751. The 5752 wheels were more of an automotive style, with the centers attached at four points inside the rim, leaving vent slots between. The bolt circle for the hub standardized to just three holes. The hubs now incorporated automotive type lug studs pressed into the hub flange and tapered lug nuts. Tires remained 6.00x16. The button bar tire was common early, but Allstate Farm Master ag tread tires were introduced during this time period. The ag tread continued until the end of production.
Next time you have the reverse hubs apart can you lay a ruler on the aluminum part that bolts to the hub and the split collar the spring wraps around. I need to make those parts for one of my machines. Also need a close up of the reverse rod set up. I have a pdf parts and assembly instructions file for the reverse kit but it is fuzzy and has no dimensions.
Great find Mr. J. It getting harder and harder to find a working reverse....especially in the south. Can you tell what the HP is on the motor? I'm finishing up my 1940s DB garden seeder this week. I'll get a video on soon. Please make more videos. I really enjoyed this video!!!!!
I can't stop watching your vids. This is addictive.🙂
