OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Question on Digging Equipment Rotary Hoes & Tillers Just bought it - don't know what it is

It's a walk behind tractor but any ideas on make or model? - eBay bargain - haven't collected it yet

Personally I have no idea David, but it's interesting. Can we see some more pictures when you collect it? I'd like to see how it works mechanically.

Im tipping it is a Honda machine looking at how its made.

Possibly a G65 motor on it.

Would like to see more pics.

Well I've got it home - need to brush up on my Italian I think.



Drive side.



Big blighter!




G65 6-8HP



Power take off - all attachment bolts are snapped - typical iron in aluminium



3 forward one reverse



Translation anyone?

Engine number reads -240CC G65 1094612 while on the side exit PTO box the number reads F600-1001483

Identified it - It's a Honda F600 2 wheeled tractor - Workshop manual here F600 Manual

I can't access that page, David. Are you sure the link works?

Strange works for me - goes straight to a PDF document - here is the main site - needs to be translated from French. Scroll down to Honda. Tractor Manuels

Here is a current version of the same tractor.

Thanks David, this new link worked for me. Pity it has a G200 engine instead of the G65, but I suppose there must be a specific G65 workshop manual somewhere. Does yours have the high and low range transmission (giving 6 forward and 2 reverse, like the one in the manual), or is it single-range?

Having the manual in three languages means a lot of wasted pages. If I were going to use it much I think I'd print the English pages and scan them into a new PDF of only one third the length (without the French and German translations).

The first photo above showing the drive belt - you can see the crank pulley is a double pulley while the gear box is two different sizes - that will give six speeds. I've located a G65 workshop manual - in negotiation - also have lined up a muffler and an oil bath air filter.

Getting a G65 manual from the States - 3 were listed on the US eBay - 2 would not ship outside the States and the other wanted $50 to ship a $25 book to Oz. Of the other two one would not even let me pay saying I was located outside the States and eBay blocked me - the other at least let me proceed past that point without blocking and change the address to my mates in Florida so for $3 postage it will lob on his doorstep and I'll owe him another beer when I see him next.
