I had the identical tractor for a while. It would have pulled down a house if it weighed enough. A friend rebuilt the original carburetor for me and it would start in about half a revolution. I wish I hadn't sold it, but I had nowhere to store it.

My father had a 1970 Power King that he used for everything... Mowing, plowing the garden, snow plowing, spraying, planting, and I'm sure some other stuff I'm forgetting. My job was mowing 2 acres, and it would mow down a corn field... but it was terribly uncomfortable as a mower.
Unfortunately when he passed in 2019 I had no place to store the tractor, so it was sold.

I did attach at least a picture a while back but here’s it again with my beautiful wife sitting.
It’s gas powered and so a lot of guys might not be interested.
I’ve owned many different vehicles ( mostly autos from the teens through early 30d ) and I’ve found when discussing originality it’s tough to find people that are interested in the topic.
Power king people are definitely not an exception, haven’t found anyone yet that cares.
Just stick a China carb on it mentality which is fine if that’s what there into.
Anyway this is a 74 with 14 hp Koehler, 24 inch rear tires, dual transmission and hydraulics on rear.
Originally Penn turnpike tractor I believe.
I’ve purchased 2 others

I like it, a girl on a tractor! We should have more!

This is my wife on our (long departed) Ford HD Industrial, converted to a military 4WD front end. Pic circa 1993 or so.

She hates this picture, and if she ever found out I made it public, she would be more than just very unhappy. @Shawn T. W. you BETTER NOT ever mention this or I may have to disown you!

Ahh ... So that's all it would take?

Your secret is safe with me ...
