I drove 2 1250's in 1979-80 and both were 20hp. Nice tractors, snow removal attachments on one of them.

Congratulations on getting this very original looking large frame, it looks in great condition and should not take a lot to get running

[@atractorkid7]

Thank you! I'm excited to start working on it, if all goes well but the weekend I should have another video of it's maiden voyage after a long hibernation

One other nice thing about this one from collector stand point looks like original 12 up engine a lot of these were changed out to the 14 hp, I have two 1250s and both were changed out.

Also good information to know, I'm not sure what my plans are yet with this one but I atleast want to get it running and driving

1967 first year for the large frame the half pedal on the left gives its year away only year for this pedal under it is a wheel when you are running it and want to maintain your speed you can push down on it to hold right pedal in place.

Yeah now I see what your talking about it definitely helps hold the hydro pedal because I noticed it was very free to move wherever without any restriction, so that's how it works, the other pedal holds it! I got to learn something new today thanks for that!
