68Ranger 25 #1 Posted October 24, 2019 Wanted to show off my project from last winter. I enjoyed working on the 68 Lawn Ranger which was stored dismantled in a small shed for the last 10 years. I still have the mower deck to finish but it’s been a great learning experience. I bored and rebuilt the engine and rebuilt the rear axle assembly myself and even tried my hand at upholstery work. The seat didn’t turn out too bad for my first try. Thanks goes to members of Red Square for all the information. 1 14 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

68Ranger 25 #4 Posted October 24, 2019 Thanks but I put it to work last weekend. Pulling a trailer moving landscape bricks. Does anyone know something about this dump trailer? I found it at a swap meet. Could be a JD but no tags. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 8,852 #6 Posted October 24, 2019 My neighbor has an IH one that looks like it. (I've been trying to buy it for years LOL.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,556 #7 Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Most excellent work on the Ranger!! the trailer does look real similar to an IH trailer, but I do see some differences. Edited October 24, 2019 by Achto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry M-(Moderator) 2,125 #12 Posted October 24, 2019 Nice Restore!! 👍 Love the seat...though just curious, where did you find the oversized piston/ring kit for the re-bore? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

68Ranger 25 #14 Posted October 24, 2019 I have one photo of the Ranger. This is when I brought it home and took it apart. I put the parts in a loft area of my shed and they sat there for the last 10 years. I went to a tractor show in Ottawa, KS and got the idea that I should do something with it. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #15 Posted October 24, 2019 That looks great! Thanks for sharing. Nice cart. So similar to the IH ones which were made by Ohio Steel. Maybe yours is an earlier version.... does yours dump or is it just a cart? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
