Well here it is. I have officially caught up to KW now with 2 Moto-Mowers.
This one is a 1966 6024-100 (my other is a '67 6025-100). It came equipped with the 8 horse Kohler (K181S). Overall runs really well. Has working headlights, which I believe were optional at least on this model. Seller informed me it had been sitting awhile, but he put in a new battery, new ignition, voltage regulator, starter generator belt, spark plug, and a few other things to get it back into shape. This one came with a 42" deck and blade, just like my other Moto-Mower. It too is missing the battery cover and belt guard. The seller was a good guy and met me along I-80 so we didn't have to drive the whole way to Williamsport. Here's a few pics. I'll have to do a driving video sometime in the next few days.

wanted to add it looks like they did a real good job coming up with a newer style deck almost has a simplicity look to it with the rollers.

KW,
This one is a 1966...my other is a 1967. The decks definitely did improve...although I've never mowed with one before. The seller did mow a small section of grass with this one and said it did cut good, but the center mandrel mounting plate is cracked, its missing the tension spring on the pto clutch on the deck, and the pulley on the tractor for the deck is rough. I have another identical deck that came with my other moto, but its missing a few pieces. As for how it runs, I'll let you be the judge of that. Watch the attached cold start and driving video. BTW, thats the first cold start I did on this tractor, so you'll notice it took a few tries to get the choke & throttle set right.

That squealing noise would drive me bannanas. Other than that seems pretty good.
