[AJD] 70 J D Riding Mower

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

At one time we had quite a few 70 lawn tractors in our area. Good little machines 
except when the engine blew up. An exact replacement short block was not made so had 
to update the engine.
Stock rings and even the rod are available still so if the engine needs tuned up that 
shouldn't be too bad
The original engine # was AM32410 which is listed as N/A but Deere says to contact a 
Tecumseh dealer for #807763. The engine was a Tecumseh VH70 7 horsepower, hence the 70 
model designation.

The parts catalog # is PC1187

The other restriction we ran into later on was that the mower decks were not bagger 
capable as were later series of lawn tractors so that became an issue also.

They, along with the smaller 60 lawn tractor, have become semi-collectible so that's 
another factor to consider
