JackM 1 #1 Posted May 12, 2013 Hi guys. Kind of new to this but I have a Lawn Ranger in desperate need of decals and engine and other things including a gear knob and new seat. Just wondering if anybody can help out? Cheers, Jack 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,756 #4 Posted May 12, 2013 Ah, down the road from Neil in Bridgwater! There are a few different models, take a look on my sites wheel-horse.co.uk and restorationdecals.co.uk and see if yours is on there. Alternatively post the serial no and we can take if from there :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,756 #7 Posted May 12, 2013 Serial is 46953 and mountfield number is 1678 Thanks, meant model no. Though from that serial number it sounds like is a late 60's US model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackM 1 #21 Posted May 12, 2013 Just found out we also have a mower deck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackM 1 #22 Posted May 13, 2013 The serial number is the same as I said just some pitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 503 #23 Posted May 13, 2013 It looks like you gear shift knob is actually attached to the deck lift. For that model the knob was just a plain round black ball. Your seat looks like it is from a later model, should be a one piece seat cover with a white center. There is a guy here in the states that makes reproduction seats but you would probobly be better off getting one made at a local upholstery shop. But you can find the seats in the Vendor's section Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
