Recommended Posts

Went out to Canton yesterday to pick up a Lawn Ranger. Seller said there was rust on the rear rims. What do you guys think? Not to much rust hahaha

My gosh!! Now THATS rust :eek:  I've had some rusty horses/rims but nothing like that... its sad looking in that shape, but I bet it'll clean up nice. Good you got it,  when they begin to look like that, the owner too often just takes it to the scrap yard.

Surprisingly the tractor itself isn't in that bad of shape. The only thing that's really locked up is the throttle cable. Supposedly it sat in a shed and the floor rotted out under the back tires.

You have a rare 1968 Lawn Ranger, the last year for all of the round hoods. That was the only year they used those hood decals and 3 spoke steering wheel. The rear tires were a little different than the previous years too. Nice find for sure.

back on four wheels

I'm glad to see you mounted the steering wheel as well... It was looking a little loose in the first pic. :P

With the little predators going for $99 it would be pretty tempting to go that route if it were me.
