True - you really only get one shot at all original. Patina from a can?? I've seen some incredible old car and truck builds that have aftermarket sheet metal mixed in with weather-seasoned OE tin. They even have that grainy rough-to-the-touch finish on the newer parts.

Thanks for the info. I was guessing on the model number since I didn't look at the manuals I have. This was a complete frame up refurbish. Fun winter project.

OK - I'll take a stab at it for a ballpark price.... $300. You are not going to put a kid thru college with the money from selling it. Bear in mind that it is a Lawn Ranger, not a B or C Series... IMHO (and others will disagree) it is a Grass Cutter, not a Garden Tractor. To me, it is one step above an RER Rear Engine Rider style. Having a Tecumseh engine, no matter how well it runs, is not as desirable as an electric start Kohler either.

Just helpin’ out. -
That may be a 1968 1-1631 Lawn ranger. I base that on the hood decals and the gauge wheel mountings on the deck and the 3 spoke steering wheel. Nice looking tractor Love my L-107 Wish you were closer

The “hitch clip” off outer PTO Arm? The only PTO outer arm I know of is off the column to the cone pulley assembly. I’m willing to make an attempt but still not getting it, my minds eye is blurry! Here’s PTO with spring clip -
What was your source for the sliders? Please don’t ignore the rearward shift of the center of gravity with that seat setup. Any weight moved aft of the axle changes from keeping the front down to trying to raise it!

Yeah, I wrote the original post on a device without the pics available. Here's a picture after the first year of use. Unfortunately I don't have one of it running, and it is put away for the winter so can't get one easily.

I am very leery of tape or sealant exposed to gasoline so I don’t do it. Shredded tape or excess sealant loose in a fuel system are my concerns. There are paste and tape options that are "fuel safe”, though, so it’s up to you. - Today

Thanks for the heads up - I will double check that latch and bar to make sure it's not an issue (preferably before it decides to dump me off the back 😊)

I have the wobble box ready to fill and the bar lubed with 0-157. The 0-157 is outstanding! Pete… -

Looking at the first picture, his name should be. Waldo, as in Where’s Waldo?

I think you can still buy a brand new one from the Original Cab Company, if you have some really deep pockets.

I have a question. The original petcock knob was missing and the shaft was frozen. I have an NOS petcock ready to install. There didn't appear to be any sort of sealant on the threads originally. Is it kosher to just thread the petcock in with no tape or sealant? Thanks
