pfrederi 17,518 #1 Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Had to haul out the ashes and bring another load of coal up today...been burning it at bit faster rate of late. Has warmed up to 9 degrees and the faithful ranger fired right up and was ready to go to work immediately. She has been making the ash and coal haul run every 10-14 days in the winter for 18 years now. She is my only horse that get used year around Added to the years working for my Father I would say the $435 he spent on her in 1967 was a decent investment.

Vinylguy 4,672 #6 Posted January 2, 2018 My first Horse was a 68 Ranger. Amazingly strong little tractors. Hope I am not infringing but that picture is awesome. Would have made a great ad. 7 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Bullington 5 #8 Posted January 2, 2018 Does that exhaust pointing down help with the exhaust fumes? all of mine have the small round muffler pointing straight out seem to really blow back in my face, Ive been thinking about trying some alternatives, but i dont want to change the original look to much.

Retired Wrencher 5,329 #9 Posted January 2, 2018 pfrederi Nice Tractor. Those Tecky`s love the cold. I have a 2.7hp Ariens blower and that is my favorite of two that I have. Is it all original?

Michael Yes it works well keeping exhaust away. I replaced the original side discharge while my Father still used it back in the 70s 2 hours ago, Retierd Wrencher said: pfrederi Nice Tractor.

Replaced the H60 with an HH70 in the late 80s. Father didn't spring for electric start and the H60 didn't have ACR got the new engine to make it easier for him to start it. Me being lazy added electric start (but no charging system)after I inherited it. Still have original engine on the shelf. Have the original deck and a NOS spare, also obtained a snow plow and snow blower for her. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
