DAVE L 31 #1 Posted April 12, 2014 Hi all, Just joined, and happy to to be here. I used to work for the Toro company, and sadly watched the last Horse being crated and shipped off. That was already a number of years ago. That was when I became intrested in the older Tractors. From that intrest, I ran across a Lawn Ranger from mid 60's with no motor, and purchased it. I am doing a custom restoration. I took it all apart, took it to Toro in pieces, and had most if it powder coated Toro red. Since than I moved, and restoration came to a hault. I am now working on it again, and picked up a new 6.5 hp Predator engine from Harbor Freight. Looks like I can make it work without too much fuss. Can someone tell me the best place to ask questions and advice on "this" rebuild on this form? Thanks, Dave 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronwh 190 #2 Posted April 12, 2014 Welcome to RS Dave, one of RS's forms is called Restorations, Modifications & Customizations that would be a good place to start. We are looking forward to hearing some stories about the Wheel Horse/Toro factory and we always like pictures. Welcome again Ron 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groundhog47 347 #3 Posted April 12, 2014 to . In the manuals someone posted the pics of "Final Assembly", I would have just loved to have touched some of the stuff. Like all professions it looks more fun/enjoyable outside; I believe I'd gone home satisfied everyday, though. Also have a Lawn Ranger roller, have the engine, but not ready to scratch it up till get more done on LR. Morphing it to a tall boy with intentions of 8 spd conversion. For the restoration end I've committed sacrilege, but I look like an elephant on a pea otherwise, ha! Good luck and speed with your project and please save/get some pics! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
