I like the white pan seat a lot better than the red one. Going to match the wheels to the seat and then it will be ready for all the other shows this year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bens vintage tractors 1,537 #67 Posted July 7, 2023 Here’s how the “804” is coming along. Unfortunately I have hit more road blocks with this tractor. the rear end seized up on me when I tried to drive it so I guess it’s getting an 8speed. then the tank just let go all of a sudden and started pouring gas out the side. I guess it’s a good time to own a tractor junk yard lol. I happen to have a single piece tank off a 702 that will be going onto this tractor. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In some of the pics I have posted here you can see a blue and white 1966 Sears Suburban 12hp tractor. I bought it here locally from an older gentleman. He had the tecky completely overhauled, and it runs great, the electric three point system on the rear works like a champ. Anyway, my cousin twisted my arm to sell it to him because his Dad had his career with Sears until he retired. I sold my cousin the tractor a year ago and he has yet to come pick it up. LOL, so I guess until he drives the six miles to come get it, I have a free tractor, at least for now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
