For more info on Lawn Rangers, take a look at this file:

 

Wheel_Horse_Products_Master_Model_List.pdf

 

Find all the Lawn Rangers.

 

Then take those ID numbers and search the "manuals" section of this forum.

Lawn Rangers were produced between 1962 and 1971.

Horsepower ranged from 5 to 7 and were all Tecumsehs.

If you look and Bob's pdf file above, you can see all the model years, motor numbers and trannys. Lawn Rangers were plentiful and more affordable than most Wheelhorse machines in their day so there are many out there in any condition you can imagine. If you go through the pictures here you'll see that many of the members have them.

Lawn rangers aren't really hard to come by. I cant say this as a fact, but I think they are about the most common round hood. I used to have one, good machine. I wish I still had it!

Those mufflers are all over the map on price and quality. Napa # 7-03679 is the best price and quality I have found. Very well made. I have one on my Power King with a stack A lot of them I have seen at small engine shops were pieces of junk at the same price or more.

Ah the :wh: Lawn Ranger!

 

Quite possibly my favorite model. My little guy ('68) gets to come inside next to my dining room table during the winter. Yup she is spoiled.  :ROTF:

 

And Welcome to  :rs:
