Beagles 72 #1 Posted April 8, 2015 Just a little more melting and I can try her out on the lawn. The last time I mowed with this tractor was over 40 years ago. It has been in my dad garage all that time. I cleaned it up put a new plug and gas runs great. 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,571 #12 Posted April 9, 2015 Start it up and turn it around. The heat off of the heat shield will melt the snow! (plus I want to see the other side! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,207 #13 Posted April 9, 2015 I agree with Stevebo, no repainting that one. That looks like one of the nicest original Suburbans I've seen. Awesome story too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
