Recommended Posts

Absolutely. The early 60s Suburban 550 was just a hair bigger and had a 5.5 horsepower engine.

Oh wow. He’s asking 225. Had it at 300 and been listed for 8 months I’d say

Here is the scoop on the Serf. They initially made a lot of them but they were sort of a throw away tractor so there are not a lot of them left. A Simple city collector friend of mine looked for quite a while to find one, of course then he ended up with 2 :lol:. Which is good because it will take the 2 to make 1.

 

In my mind a horizontal shaft engine usually indicates the the tractor is a garden tractor, not a lawn tractor. Simplicity kinda breaks that rule. You can get all kinds of attachments for that little Serf - snow blade, snow blower, center blade, I believe they even made a tiller for it.  

 

Price might be a bit high, but to the right guy maybe not.

Are many parts on the serf unobtainable these days if they break? Just think owning one so small would be kinda cool. But being  Wheelhorse forum.. perhaps the suburban would be better to look for
