19richie66 16,942 #1 Posted April 19, 2015 I have been helping a friend of mine clean up some property and did some work on the work tractor a couple of weeks ago. While cleaning up, I peeked under a tarp in the back yard and this is what was under there. I brought it home today. Not sure what year it is so if anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it. So far seems to have an older rattle can paint job. Tires are original but rotten. Actually the seat and tires are the worst part of the whole tractor. Plans are to get it running and clean it up. I'll see what I have to work with after a good power washing. And the required pictures. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 10,276 #5 Posted April 20, 2015 Nice find Richie. If I didn't know better I say you lived up north. Contrary to what I mentioned earlier that seat may be the original or original type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,229 #10 Posted April 20, 2015 According to the paperwork I have...the engine spec number #75063B makes it a 1964 34R. Nice find Rich. Shynon and I will settle this on the golf course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,654 #11 Posted April 20, 2015 34 E (electric start); R would be recoil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #12 Posted April 20, 2015 I get that it has a battery...but it also has a recoil. I also know that the list is not perfect, but if you look at the list, the spec # for the 34E is #75064B...the 34R spec # is 75063B...his plate says 63B. Where is TT for this one??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,654 #15 Posted April 21, 2015 Tile is kicking my butt. Hats off to anyone out there that does tile. I did all of the flooring in our new house, 1800 sq ft of hardwood took me about two weeks, tile for two baths and kitchen (500 sq ft) took a month, I feel your pain. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chex313 123 #16 Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Tile is kicking my butt. Hats off to anyone out there that does tile. Great little tractor find!! Tile is easy...It doesn't weigh anything... (Do hope you are using a wet saw tho...) Edited April 21, 2015 by chex313 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,276 #17 Posted April 21, 2015 I feel your pain too Richie. Doing any vertical surfaces? The shower walls drove me nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 16,942 #18 Posted April 21, 2015 Before it is over I will have tiled the whole house and completely overhaul the master bath with a walk in shower and a 1923 clawfoot tub I got from one of my dad's friends years ago. It will be close to 1800 sq ft. I have a wet saw I bought at an auction just for this whole project. Its a big commercial saw from an estate sale. Bigger than what I need but couldnt beat it for the price and it was just shy of brand new. As for the tractor, i looked on the toro spec sheet it shows a Lausen motor for it so I really dont know what to think. I do know it will stay the way it is. She will get a royal servicing, clean up and wear as much originality as I can keep on it. Thanks for all the help guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,494 #19 Posted April 21, 2015 Richie: That Lawn Ranger is a great find ! Save it as there are not too many nice 1964's out there ! Lawn Ranger was suppose to be Cecil Pond's favorite model Wheel Horse according to Mike Martino's book ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,654 #20 Posted April 21, 2015 Can't figure out why the "R" plate was installed on a fan cover that has the electric starter bump out on it; lets just call it a 34-R/E. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
