Hey everyone,
I'm a newbie here. I recently purchased a Waterbury Model H walk behind tractor. I know absolutely nothing about tractor so please forgive my lack of proper terminology. So, I'm looking for as much information as possible on this tractor. I've done a bit of searching around here and have found really good information on the Waterbury two wheelers, but I still have a ton of questions.
Let me start with a few pics.
Waterbury Model H
Serial # (3868)
The picture is rather dark, but if you can't tell the motor is not original. I believe a Briggs and Stratton Model 9(??) was the og, but this is a Tecumseh 5hp from a Toro snowblower. I'm just repeating what the previous owner had said so if anybody has any good/bad stories about Tecumseh engines, do tell.
Questions. I have a bunch so I'll just start with a few. Again I'm super new to tractors/gardens so bare with me.
1. Does this Waterbury Model H have an auxiliary PTO? I saw in a sales brochure posted in this forum that it does, but I do not know what to look for.
2. Does the name on the side "Waterbury 3 HP" refer to the original engine or the overall HP of the tractor?
3. The gearbox has a grease fill plug (a zerk?) on the top of it and no visible area to drain or fill oil. Does this mean that only grease from a grease gun goes into the gearbox?
4. Anybody have a manual? I know that has been brought up in previous posts, but I'll try.
Thanks for reading! Any and all info is helpful. I'm also looking for implements if anyone in the MA area has some.
