Shynon 7,435 #1 Posted December 2, 2014 Picked up a couple on a local online auction, picked up today, Think I may be going green (environmental). Picked up a c 175 and a 64 ranger pedal tractor. This is my first twin, new snowblow tractor. I believe it is a 1982 series I. Took a bit to get running but seems to run OK. Thanks for looking Tom 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,043 #2 Posted December 2, 2014 I love the pedal tractor! Hmmm, I think someone should do a pedal powered C series... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fabricator2009 48 #3 Posted December 2, 2014 That Lawn Ranger is cool. Like the 175. Those black hoods are starting to grow on me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molon_Labe 731 #4 Posted December 2, 2014 Those are both awesome finds but the Ranger.... Someone's grandpa spent a lot of time on that one for sure!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigbic 47 #6 Posted December 2, 2014 Now you just need to put a plow on the '64 Ranger... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulC 341 #7 Posted December 2, 2014 We NEED a video of someone on that pedal tractor that thing is cool!! at first glance I thought it may have been an actual wheel horse setup so whoever did that kudos to you the way the belt is on it just screams wheel horse to me....extremely simple but probly works great and lasts forever. I am really curious as to how easy it would be to move and ride? if its somewhat user friendly it would be awesome to see it in action with a reel mower on it. couldn't imagine the looks you would get from the neighbors 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,229 #9 Posted December 2, 2014 Tom, that Ranger is so cool. We need to see that at LaSueur for sure. Mount something on it to carry your golf clubs. I like that they left the transmission...WOW. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,916 #10 Posted December 2, 2014 I would pay to see the Dino riding the Ranger with some checkerboard pants on holding a putter! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #11 Posted December 2, 2014 Tom, Nice finds...love the pedal conversion. Were they on the Owatonna one or the Claremont one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackC 616 #12 Posted December 2, 2014 The C-175 twin automatic is one of my favorite models and the peddle tractor appears to be so well done it looks factory. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #13 Posted December 2, 2014 Two very nice finds! Did the Ranger come with a deck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeek 2,284 #14 Posted December 2, 2014 Pedal tractor will be a hit, I'm sure. I never saw one of those before. Probably good I don't have that . . . you'd likely see me riding down the street after a few you-know-whats 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don1977 604 #17 Posted December 2, 2014 What with the twisted belt, couldn't the fellow peddle backwards, but he did make an 8 speed out of it 4 reverses and 4 forwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT14 243 #18 Posted December 2, 2014 Very nice, that pedal tractor will be the hit of any show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #19 Posted December 2, 2014 At some shows they have kiddie tractor pulls using pedal tractors. I read somewhere that some clubs converted garden tractors to pedal tractors so adults could pull too. Sure would be neat at the big show. Now if someone would build a small sled.....

I like those blackhoods myself. Oneday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Glenn Glen really like the look and the sound of that twin. Tom, that Ranger is so cool. We need to see that at LaSueur for sure. Mount something on it to carry your golf clubs. I like that they left the transmission...WOW. Steve, you may have to practice up your pedal power, this could be the bet on the golf game, loser has to ride. Tom, Nice finds...love the pedal conversion. Were they on the Owatonna one or the Claremont one? Fahey auctions in Glencoe, over 40 horses and parts. I would pay to see the Dino riding the Ranger with some checkerboard pants on holding a putter! Two very nice finds! Did the Ranger come with a deck? No deck, had to buy the hood separate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandonozz 168 #23 Posted December 3, 2014 Like the twin but love the pedal tractor! Of course, about 10 minutes on each one and those observations may switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #24 Posted December 4, 2014 Could you imagine the person that would climb off of the Ranger. The size of there legs, who says White men can jump!
