grnlark 487 #1 Posted March 2, 2012 This is the true definition of "barn fresh". It's very complete and very solid - just filthy. The hood is real nice with the exception of one fix near one of the side bolts, otherwise the front and top are straight. It seems to shift nice, has a nice belt guard and supposedly last ran in the fall. It should be interesting to see what it looks like after a bath. The plow and deck seem to be really nice also - again, just d-i-r-t-y! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grnlark 487 #4 Posted March 2, 2012 I bet that one gets an oil bath. Another nice score for sure. Big negative my friend! Salad dressing and tractors don't mix here! Soap, water and maybe a carnuba wax. :thumbs: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grnlark 487 #7 Posted March 2, 2012 The front rims are the only things that look pretty crusty. So, after I clean it all up I might be in the market for a set......hint, hint :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 650 #8 Posted March 2, 2012 Score, that would be a welcome addition to any horse stable! Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grnlark 487 #9 Posted March 2, 2012 Ahhh, a kindred spirit you are Matt. Craig, a very cool quote I must admit! I'm a reletively savy writer myself, but never heard that expression before. You made me do a Merriam-Webster search, and as a result, I've learned something new. Thanks! :handgestures-thumbup: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grnlark 487 #18 Posted March 4, 2012 Well, I only had a few minutes this afternoon to hose it off quick. I'm really going to spend some time on it this week, but here it is so far. Definitely want to find some new front rims. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,132 #21 Posted March 4, 2012 Any idea why the front rims on these little guys typically see significantly more rusting than the rest of the tractor? :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,331 #22 Posted March 4, 2012 Most of these suburbans had calcium in the front tires.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hydro 131 #24 Posted March 4, 2012 Ahhh, a kindred spirit you are Matt. Craig, a very cool quote I must admit! I'm a reletively savy writer myself, but never heard that expression before. You made me do a Merriam-Webster search, and as a result, I've learned something new. Thanks! Yea... he does that to me to. You know....these Rambler guys eh? ...but on to the tractor, looking at that is like stepping back in time. It's beautiful. What a find! I'm not a collector but I can sure appreciate the condition it's in and the belt guard too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
