What's wrong with this Horse?

[bowtiebutler956 649]

I was absolutely shocked as I was looking through Craigslist today, and I saw a Wheel Horse! There is no way I can spend $1300 dollars, but just seeing one in south Texas is amazing! The seller doesn't say much about it, and i can't afford it, so I wasn't going to call. What model is it? I know its one of the later round hoods, but whick one? Lawn Ranger? Also, something doesn't look right to me with the rear fender, and of course it has the wrong decals on the hood, but I thought some of you experts could give me some more info.

Looks to be a 68 lawn ranger with an engine I can't ID....

Yeah,looks like a 68 lawn ranger with the incorrect motor and not the right seat. Not very special of a tractor. They are probably not very easily found around texas but here they are not worth very much. Jake

Ya not worth that much, it does look nice with some incorrect parts, and yes if the decals are right it's a 68, it would be hard to get $500 for it around me

Looks like someone put a lot of work into it.
