pacer 3,159 #1 Posted March 6, 2015 Going through some old pics and ran across this from 1965 ---- Wheel Horse was virtually unknown down here (N La) in those days, still is far as that goes, but I already had a love of the budding lawn/garden tractors that were popping up. Got this little guy for $100 sitting in the back lot of a IH dealer that had started carrying the Cub line and had taken it in on trade. Engine ran but was very weak so I replaced it and used the little tractor for some 20yrs - sure wish I still had it!..... and wouldnt mind having my 35 year old body either :) 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacer 3,159 #5 Posted March 6, 2015 Yep, Sears Suburban, dont remember the year model. Didnt have a tranny, used a type of 'Reeves' drive (dont think I ever knew what Sears called it) as you moved a lever expanding/contracting pulleys changed the speeds. That mechanism is what finally failed and - at the time - was unable to repair/replace it so I retired it to later be sold for scrap - boy, Ive kicked myself over THAT dumb move many a time!
