I purchased this wheel horse a year or so ago from the original owner. It had been sitting for years with gas in the tank. Thanks to the wealth of information and input from users on the forum I was able to bring her back to life. It is really satisfying to hear it running strong after almost 50 years.

I got lucky! They are still out there. I saw one a couple months ago on Craigslist. It was a little rough but still had potential. I hope you find one!

Carpenter  It is getting harder every day to find all original tractors like that. It just shows that some people took pride in what they owned. Enjoy the ride Gary     B.

That is a super looking survivor you have there.  I think you should submit it for the calendar.

      What am I doing wrong? ‘68 Charger 12
      By BrianKoch
      Hello gentleman, 
       
      Problem: will not crank on its own, will crank with jump box—but still not fire
       
      Recent things I did prior to this issue: cleaned fuel filter, replaced battery cables, replaced cable from ignition to starter
       
      I have my test light out and am probing around. 
       
      There is no power at ignition/magneto wire or the ignition/starter wire
       
      There is power everywhere else

      So.... I just got home with this. I been wanting to fix one up for my 9 yr old nephew. I need to do it in a hurry as I will be going in hospitol soon for my 3rd battle with cancer. You know the story. Was told it ran about a month or so ago. Not running now. I just got home with it so I haven't checked it out yet. Have never owned a Lawn Ranger before, and know nothing about them. Maybe you guys can tell me what I have here and any advice would be helpful as well. Seems to be complete with the exception of the seat. Going to need to pick one up somewhere.
