wrmhaste 235 #1 Posted April 28, 2019 It's time to start fixing a tractor for my daughter. I bought this a couple years ago and just now getting back to it. If I'm not mistaken it's a 67 lawn ranger. Tecumseh has come off and it's getting a Kohler and a lot of paint. I will be in the market for parts. Such as a set of front rims and a hood 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,338 #3 Posted April 28, 2019 Yeah You can definitely use some front rims ! Was that left front on it when you got it? I’ll bet it pulls to the right. Keep us posted with mor pics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #4 Posted April 28, 2019 I started on the motor last night. K181 off from a commando. All torn down due to a broken governor shaft. Aside from the motor getting painted while it's apart all other paint will wait until after the big reveal to my daughter. The goal is to get it mechanically sound for the reveal so she can drive it around some. Then "WE" tear it down and paint it together 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrmhaste 235 #19 Posted May 7, 2019 Works great. Sandblasted is on the other side. I roll it outside when in use. Keeps any dust and sand outside so I can paint inside 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #20 Posted May 19, 2019 Minor mishap getting a rear hub off. I broke the lip where the axle seal goes. Have to take the case from a locked up donor tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #21 Posted May 28, 2019 Frame is red finally. Took about 4 hours of sanding, 3 coats of primer and 3 of paint. Motor is almost back together. All the bearings and seals arrived for the transmission too. So that will be going back together soon 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
