That was one sweet deal Jim :woohoo: ! I’m guessing a 854 and a 753 . That Lawn Ranger should clean up nicely.

we had the suspect  753 up, running and driveable within 30 mins.

 

Yes sir, a little field triage & the k161 purred like a kitten. Always good to be able to drive them on to the trailer.

Ok, time for the experts to chime in. Jim & I came to the conclusion that the one I purchased was not an 854, we suspect that it is a 753. Here are some pics for you guys to look over.

So getting back to the score,  it was real enjoyable .... You veterans  know that going out on blind FB or CL finds is  or can be like takin your life into your own hands. This one was, fotunatly, was quite the opposite. Guy was a collector for years and claimed to have 35- 40 horses  in his day. Real nice guy. Never heard of RS but said he heard of the BS so I filled him in on the joy. :rolleyes: 

I have full mind to tell you younger wipersnappers how to deal with decent  (older) folk like these and how they see your passion for these little red tractors . That's what got  me the LR on the deal. Mrs. Seller said she could see I had passion.and just wanted me to have it.

So.... for you youngins heed and learn. This particular seller said after he posted the ad on FB I was the only one to have the decency to pick up the phone and CALL him instead of the oposable thumbs to try and text him. Lesson here is pull your thumbs out yer keester and actually TALK to the seller in repectful human speak to find out particulars. Just texting someone and " is it for sale yet" crap ain't gonna cut it... just sayin.....

20190605_184921.jpg

I'm young, but that's how I've always done business..  I can't stand trying to buy something via text message. It's impossible to ask everything you want to ask, and often times critical details about are left out. There have been numerous times when I've looked at an ad and read "no calls, text only", and I still call them. If they want my money, they'll answer. 

 

I've sold quite a few things over the internet and I don't think I've ever sold an item to someone who communicated solely through text message.. They all turn out to be flakes.

 

Another issue I have with texting is everyone asks "whats your bottom dollar" without ever seeing the item... Maybe I'm old school, talking money before you've inspected the item is ridiculous.

 

By the way, nice score. I'd love to find a round hood.. To be honest, I'm not sure there are any in this state.

My flip phone don’t text too great... people ask me if I got their text and I remind them I use my phone to talk to people.  I’m glad that you were the winner of this flash sale Jim!  Your WHX22 handle was getting a little boring!

I would be more than tempted to flip this one if it weren't a '67 Denny. An LR is at the lower end of my bucket list but they are still cool little tractors.

How can I tell if this is indeed a '67? This seller wasn't real keen on accurate model numbers as we have found out.

I'll get some more pics up after I run back home and retrieve my phone that I forgot today!

Of course after Jim & I got the tractor running, it wouldn't have been right to leave before he had a chance to take a cruise on it.

Gotta remember Jim, there's no windshield on this. Keep your mouth closed at high speeds so you don't swallow any bugs.:ychain::D

I’m not real familiar with the differences in the Rangers, Jim but  yours looks like ‘67 hood decals and I think the ‘67 has a 2 spoke steering wheel. I believe the ‘68 Ranger used a 3 spoke steering wheel and longer decals on the side of the hood.

Yup, I’ve got a 68 and it has the words lawn ranger down the hood sides and the 3 spoke wheel.  I’m betting that is a 67.

:text-coolphotos:      Looks like a L-157 to me.   The factory made one error when they were built, they put in a Lauson six HP, but someone fixed that for you I see.     :ychain:

      These belts have been hanging in my garage since last used I believe there off a 754 I used to have. Bought them new and didn't use much.
      Don't know why I took them off. Some fraying on top in a few places from use, also don't know why but selling as is and photo'd. 20.00 shipped if you can use them.
      PM for PayPal info or questions. 16" ID approx.

      Okay friends husband and I brought home another mutilated mutation that I felt sorry for and wanted to fix….  Questions will it run??  Lol… what model for sure?  So I believe it’s an 854 and would like feed back to confirm..  lots of stuff coming off… has the k181s tag on the engine!  Two piece gas tank!  So if my friends on here would agree or disagree I would be able to see how much I have been learning over the years!
