Oh Well What the Heck

[Dan693 510]

Searched for months but never could find a factory set of LR 18" turf rear tires. Had a set of ATV tires so I mounted them. Actually not a bad look.

No worry about traction........still stock and will stay that way.....just need the WH badged 18" rear tires.

Looks rugged!  The WH branded fronts and rears for my L107 are stored in a cool dark place.

No fair Hoarding Bro lol!

I think they look great on your Ranger!

If I had those my search for turfs would be cancelled.

Nice old machine Dan.

Any info on seat cover?

[ACman 7,505]

 Oh that’s the original seat on there ! I almost bought that little guy as ACcuz has its twin but Dan beat me to it . Here’s its twin.

 

 

Here’s some links to some of Dan’s post

That’s why he’s looking for some original tires . That’s one clean original machine Dan’s got there . Keep looking Dan , someone’s has to have a set somewhere . Mentone is coming up (I don’t know the dates) as is the Rochester show Father’s Day weekend. I could bring back a set from the Big Show if I come across a pair (or someone from Indiana could do the same) . That way they’d be closer to you.

I had a near perfect set at the big show last year. No takers. Good price too. Let them go with a Lawn Ranger last Fall.

Yup, I got that set .  Just haven't had a chance to put them on.  Very nice looking tires.  Mine are stored away from weather in a dark spot as well.  Good luck!!

The seat cover is stock and original. I tried to get one made once and they looked at me like I was from Mars.

The embossed white vinyl is NLA from the supply chain - I have looked for years for the stuff and pestered every upholstery shop for 100 miles and even further via email and phone calls. No luck, probably an exclusive design pattern. Might just be a large leftover roll sitting somewhere that no one knows what to do with - I'd love to find it and be able to duplicate the original. Some do pleats, others just a stitch line, but it doesn't look the same in person - I've tried it and for whatever reason takes something away from the vintage look.

Same with this seat on my little Broadmoar  .

 

 

 

Hopefully you don’t mind the color change  .

Yep - that same embossed pattern I'd assume was offered back then, I have yet to find that pattern in any color vinyl or otherwise.
