I recently bought a Speedex Model 820 without an engine and missing a few parts. It has the 2 speed trans, engine clutch, and has a squared hood and fenders. I was wondering if anyone could give me a year, and any other information available. I contacted the Speedex Info. site a few weeks ago about it but got no answer. Thanks.

Hello Dane, I will give you some general information on the Model 820. This tractor had a 8HP Briggs engine, and was a follow up tractor to the S17 Round Hooded tractor having the same frame, but with the Flat Hood and fenders. The first reference I have to them on a Speedex Price sheet is 1975 at $ 765.00 and came with pull start or eletric. You might find a serial # stamped on the frame rail under the engine output pulley. I you find it please send that to me and we will try to figure out the year for you...Mike

Just a little more background on the Model 820 I meant to include in the first reply.
This tractor had a 8HP Briggs engine, and was a follow up tractor to the S17 Round Hooded tractor 8HP and the S17 tractor was a follow up to the S14 tractor 5-3/4 hp. The Model 820 has the same frame as the S17, but with the Flat Hood and fenders. The S17 tractor had a 4” longer wheel base then the S14 tractor . With the exception of the frame, front axle, and the tie rod lengths all other parts are interchangeable. The fender bracket weldment and the addition of the hood pivot supports on the frame are the only difference between the new and old style sheet metal covering. The first reference I have to the Model 820 on a Speedex Price sheet is 1975 at $ 765.00 and came with pull start or electric. …Mike
