Opinions please. 1964 Lawn Ranger

[The Gman 476]

Lawn ranger came up for sale near enough to me. He wants 350 "firm". Comes with a deck. Would like to know what looks correct and what's not. Wheels? Engine? Lights? Decals? Don't know much about these little guys. The resto. looks good. He says it runs good and the deck is good. It's the only pic I have of it. Fuzzzzzzy at best I know.

Would appreciate feed back.

1964 34E wrong decals, otherwise looks pretty nice.

As Tom said decals wrong and don't think the headlights are correct. $350 isn't terrible depending your location. I have seen correct restored  LRs go for twice that. I would say what the heck go look at it & kick tires as long as it's close. Bring back some better pics!

Something fishy about the steering wheel too???

[stevasaurus 22,229]

I agree with the above.  Just know that a push lawnmower can cost you $400...you get to ride this one...plus you can find some attachments like a snow blade.  The does look pretty nice.

Run Forest, run!!!  You'll love it!!

  64's are my favorite model of the lawn ranger...and for sure it's priced right..IMO.  

[dells68 7,494]

Well, I saw elsewhere here that you're going to go get it.  Don't leave us hanging ...

[The Gman 476]

I did....... I am....... and I will.

Friend of mine lives near there and he looked at it for me.

Said if I didn't he would. Off I go tomorrow.   

[dells68 7,494]

You'll love that little machine.  I think they are as much if not more fun to drive than their big brothers!!

Let me introduce the newest member of the herd 

Spent about two hours out there and had a nice chat with the fellow. He said he had about 40....... yes 40 garden tractors. Health was not good anymore and was selling them all off except for two 1960s colts (from the Case series). All that was left was the ranger and another colt. And........ once he knew I like wheel horse he told me he sold a senior some years ago. A guy saw it and offered him 1,000 for it. It was all there and running.

Anyway........  

I was told I would love it and yes........ I do. Do I sound excited yet?

Drove it around for 20 min. when I got home.

Not 100% original but don't care. How bout now....... excited?

I like the look of the bug eyed headlights. Right size for hood. And the Bullitt taillights too. Kinda reminds me of the early farm all and my 68 massey.

Some attention needed here and there. And the deck needs work but very solid.

Some Ags maybe?

Enough rambling..........

        Have you considered dual eight inch rear ags and four inch tri-ribs out front?        

[AMC RULES 36,941]

 Little guy looks tough with the ags on all four corners.  

   Thinking that pink seat cover will have to go though.  

[Sarge 3,462]

Yeah - ags, 'nuff said.
