Lane Ranger 10,472 #1 Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Cleared two driveways today with my 1967 Wheel Horse LawnRanger with the 30 inch snowblower ! I have enjoyed using this for about ten years. This six hp Tecumseh was purchased new by me when i redid this tractor in 2008! 720436BB-5D6E-43C2-9835-346C90493962.MOV 154.MOV Edited March 26, 2018 by Lane Ranger 13 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB ELLISON 2,976 #3 Posted March 25, 2018 Lane that's a real beauty there. I've got a 67 also and it's so much fun to drive. I'll be looking for a snow plow and maybe a blower for it this year. I want to take all the bad paint job off that the PO did to it. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #4 Posted March 25, 2018 I agree - really nice tractor! For some reason seems they are more fun to drive than my other horses! Love my ranger, even though I look like an elephant riding an ant! 1 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,116 #5 Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Beautiful machine. I love my L107 also. Great for chores, easy on and off for us older guys. I have a blower for mine but my snow is usually deep and she can't really go slow enough on the initial pass to avoid choking on the snow and I do not like to have to slip the clutch for an extended period. You have a 3 spoke wheel and a recess for the LR decal on the belt guard mine doesn't have either. Edited March 25, 2018 by pfrederi 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan693 510 #6 Posted March 25, 2018 I have 2 Lawn Rangers. Always underrated as solid work tractors. Of course not plowing a field but just today plowed ice off of my drive like hot butter. I would put mine up against any stock 6 horse in a pulling contest. Let me know of any small stock pulling events around Indy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,472 #8 Posted March 25, 2018 Sun did a nice job today too! After three hours drive is clear! The LawnRanger never choked and died once today! Tecumseh ran great! Just take a third of the snowblower width of the heavy, wet snow ! Even cleared up the front of propert where the city plowed! And worked tractor for an hour just sipping the gas! Amazing what a 50 year old machine will do! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing what a 50 year old machine will do! Problem is the first pass you are taking a full bite. Anything up to 8-10 inches I plow. 8+ inches is too much for her the first run down the driveway. If I can get an opening she does fine when i can control the amount of bite. I thought about the speed reducer kit but she is my primary chore tractor and if anything i would like to speed her up a bit when pulling a trailer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,472 #10 Posted March 25, 2018 Paul: I have also always used a slick product on the auger and chute like Sno-Flight to slicken up the throw of the snow! Six or eight of this wet stuff may have been a lot more of a challenge -no doublt about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chip61 655 #11 Posted March 25, 2018 Great looking Lawn Ranger!! Once I finish some other projects I'd like to get one-it's the perfect size for my yard at home, the 310 8 is overkill. My yard is better suited to a push mower, but that is nowhere near as much fun. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 4,871 #15 Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Lane Tecky`s get no respect but we know better. I have had many in my time. I know people in the business said they where better than a Brigs any day of the week. I had a 606 one time sit all winter 1st or second pull every time. It`s running. Enjoy.
