Dieselcowboy 210 #1 Posted March 20, 2012 Got a new (to me) lawn ranger the other day. I think it is around a 67' model. I wish I had a pic right now. Needs some parts like a fender pan and better wheels but beggars can't be choosers. Anyone tell me what they know about these mowers? Closest I have is a 753.

littleredrider 409 #3 Posted March 20, 2012 I had two, sold one and kept one. I have a 63 now, and is a neat little tractor. Has the round hood like the big brothers, and the rounded rear fenders as well. Only issue I had with it is if the mower deck is on, there is no foot peg on the right side, the belt for the deck is in the way. The other thing was the turning radius. It is horrible. Couldn't even turn it around in a rather large driveway. I had a 67, like what you have. Great little tractor as well. These have much better steering, and look just like the bigger tractors, just scaled down. Also the right peg is bent to clear the belt. I ended up selling this one, but not before I swapped frames. So now the 63 still looks like a 63, but has the tighter steering and the bend in the right side peg to clear the mower belt. They are small, so easy to maneuver, can get under tree limbs easier, and if it gets stuck or something, lite enough to practically pick it up and move it. Usually when people see it, they ask if it's a real tractor or a kid's toy.... This is actually a lawn ranger, just has "big boy" shoes on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,741 #5 Posted March 20, 2012 M L-107 is my favorite and most frequently used (hauling stuff, pushing snow) she no longer has mower duty. I like her (especially as I get older) as she is so easy to get on and off. Does yours have electric start?? There is a fender pan on Ebay right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve in Mo 3 #7 Posted March 21, 2012 I have a L-106 all apart for restoration right now. I also like it because at 65 with bad knees it is very easy on and off.paid $100 for it and it still had the dealer sticker from 1966 on the dash. Will have to paint very carefully around it.

Dieselcowboy 210 #8 Posted March 24, 2012 Finally got those pics for everyone. Not perfect but a great candidate for restoration as it is all here right down to the deck I think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dieselcowboy 210 #9 Posted March 24, 2012 Also I have a serial # of 446430. Anyone know where to find years of wheel horse tractors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 650 #10 Posted March 24, 2012 Very cool! Looks like its still a very solid machine. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,970 #11 Posted March 24, 2012 The hood decal should mean that it is a 1968 Lawn Ranger. Metal tag on the left side of the hood stand should be the model and serial number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,741 #12 Posted March 24, 2012 Its a 68 (Decal, 3 spoke wheel, flat belt guard). You scored a solid machine..most every one I have seen (mine included) the hood is cracked at the front seam. You will want to get the correct seat (or put some padding on that saddle).

Dieselcowboy 210 #13 Posted March 25, 2012 Anyone have one of these parted down? I don't need to give and arm and leg for parts though. Need a fender pan and a front and back rim that I know of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,060 #16 Posted March 27, 2012 Also I have a serial # of 446430. Anyone know where to find years of wheel horse tractors? That is a 1968 serial number. What model is it? 1-1631 with recoil start or 1-2631 with electric start Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
