YT-16 Ford

[Greg C.]

Hello everyone,
I have a YT 16 ford that I bought from an individual and am wondering if someone can tell me the year
model by the serial number which is YC13155. I mostly diassembled the tractor with the intension
of restoring it. But I have not gotten very far. Thanks

Have you contacted a New Holland dealer to see if they could help? Also, most Ford lawn tractors were manufactured by Jacobson. They may be able to help, but since the Fords were contract jobs I doubt it.

Yea, I bought mine from a guy who had not used it for some time and I took most of the sheet metal
off to repaint. Last night I hooked up the starter and ignition sw hooked up a battery and it turned over
so I put a little gas in the carb and turned it over again and it fired right up and ran smoothly until the gas
was gone. I was plesantly surprised. I think I am just goint to paint the engine covers and then reassemble
it and start useing it this mow season.
Take care,
Greg
