Pullstart 66,258 #1 Posted 12 hours ago @WHX?? found this practically in his backyard this weekend. I says if nobody else wants it I do! I made a deal with the seller and Uncle Jim plans to pick it up before next weekend for me to pick up at Portage, WI Garden Tractor Daze. It’s the wide track model and the 20 hp engine. It’s locked up and needs some major work to be a runner. I’m torn between getting it going for a rip around the field, and making it another shop ceiling hanger 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 66,258 #2 Posted 12 hours ago I’ll go out on record, and say a guy could probably search on here and find where I’ve said I wouldn’t ever want one of these, and maybe some place that says if it were cheap enough I’d nab it! 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm... with a 3 gallon gas tank, you could be gone awhile... The grille & headlights look like they got heisted from an amusement park bumper car.

ri702bill 9,254 #5 Posted 11 hours ago Is additional cooling required for summer use? like removing the heater box on and old Ariens Sno-Thro?? The Safari was designed for winter use - hate to see that 20 HP beast chuck a rod due to poor cooling... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 3,225 #6 Posted 11 hours ago I think they look cool, but vintage sled parts can be difficult to find. If you don't have anything else to work on, I'd say try to get it running just to hear it run otherwise I vote another ornament on the ceiling of the shop lol 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For example, the Snowmotractor for summer use was used about 5 minutes max, then shut down. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
