Another orange one followed a buddy to my driveway

and then he told me that he thought of me when he saw it!

A buddy of mine helped an old friend's son clean out his deceased Dad's barn a couple hundred miles from here, saw an orange tractor that was the deceased man's project about 20 years ago. It is orange, but is an Ariens. Looks complete, needs a few parts on the kitchen sink engine and PTO belts.

I am trying to find the age of the machine. Right now, over 20 is an assumption, since the po has been dead at least that long. Anybody know of anywhere that this info might be located? I have been Googling it for a couple of weeks, with all kinds of search terms
