Lane Ranger 11,398 #2 Posted February 26, 2016 1963 tractor. The hood has a metal lip band on the edge at the bottom-between the gas tank and the front of the hood. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

engineguy63 238 #5 Posted February 28, 2016 THANKS GUYS...........So its a 64 8hp electric start then?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse79 271 #6 Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Correct. 854 stands for 8=8HP 5=Electric Start 4=1964. They are a great tractor. I grew up with the one my Dad bought used in 1966. Many fond memories! Edited February 28, 2016 by WheelHorse79 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
engineguy63 238 #7 Posted February 28, 2016 I am guessing the original tank has issues.........looking at the setup it has currently!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse79 271 #8 Posted February 28, 2016 Apparently. Wheel Horse actually came out with a repair for the 2 piece gas tanks that involved cutting out part of the bottom piece of the tank and inserting a smaller 1 piece tank into the 2 piece assembly. Looks like someone tried this approach without the cutting and insertion! If the old tank isn't cut up, it can probably be repaired with a new reproduction gasket or a 2-part epoxy tank sealant. The tank is aluminum so it won't ever rust. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
