Need info on \'74 Economy tractor

I found a '74 Economy brand tractor for sale. It has a 14hp Kohler and a belly mower. That is all I really know about it. I'm a little interested because it seems like a neat project.

I did a little looking around on the internet and found basically what it should look like. I would like to know if anyone has a website to find out more info on this tractor. Can you get parts for them?

The owner says it runs well and works. I haven't looked at it yet.. and don't even know if I will. But it appears to be a pretty cool little tractor. If anyone has info on this tractor or a similar Power King, Jim Dandy, etc. please let me know.

Thanks

Re: Need info on \'74 Economy tractor

i rebuilt a 1614 powerking a couple years ago. they were built to compete with farmall cub (had 2 of those) and are very heavy built. hydraulics run off small belt driven pump driven off flywheel and work well. rear end is small car style dana, trans is 3 speed warner.(some had 2 trannys back to back). engine is k321 and i got all rebuild parts from napa and was not a problem. like anything no longer produced, some things avail used only. i even found repro decals. made a capable mower and i got GOOD money for it when i decided to sell. it came with 7 different attachments and all worked well. google it. lotsa info out there and several people sell used parts on ebay, one of em isn't too far from you in georgetown. it was a lot of fun but has its limitations. GO FOR IT if the deal is good.............. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

If memory serves me correctly, that is a single cylinder cast iron block "K" series Kohler for which parts are available. I hope it's ok to list other web sites that pertain to your tractor. You can also try the following web sites for more info:
