pfrederi 17,743 #2 Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) It is a lawn Ranger for sure I would guess an L157 but the steering wheel is not correct. probably a roll pin in there you have to drive out. Rangers originally used a clevis pin and hair clip for the steering wheel. Edited February 10, 2020 by pfrederi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rangers originally used a clevis pin and hair clip for the steering wheel. again thanks for the information but still with the wheel not being the correct one i think he did good for the 200 he gave where the owner at first wanted 300 'i will talk to my neighbor tomorrow and tell him but i am sure he won't be disappointed about it as he is happy to have a horse ';just think another horse collector ; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
