Lawn Ranger Progress

Recommended Posts

71_Bronco

Got a little time this afternoon to get a little work done on the Lawn Ranger.

 

Got the front spindles on (new ones from A-Z) with new 6" front wheels and tires.

 

Got the rear wheels off and the new ones on. 8-1/2" neutral offset wheels, with 18-9.5×8" Superlug tires.

 

Wisconsin parts are coming in, got some new throttle linkage parts, head gasket, points, condenser, S/G belt, and a couple other little things. Still have to figure out a throttle and choke cable. The Wisconsin Amp Meter and Start Button bolted right into the old holes in the WH tank and center column.

 

I know she's not the prettiest thing, but should be pretty fun once its completed.

 

I need to re-make a tool box, as the clearance between the rear tires has shrunk. The old box is 14" wide, and i only have 12" between the tires (old skinny tires had 17" clear space).

 

I have Steering Wheel coming from @76c12091520h and a new drag link for the steering. Should pretty it up at least a little.

 

And I do plan on running a Jim Kemp stack, this one was borrowed off my Commando 8-8 for test fitting.

You could use wheel spacers instead of makeing a new tool box...

I intentionally went with wider, neutral offset wheels. I wanted fatter tires on the back without making the tractor much wider overall. The width only grew by about 3" total (30" now vs 27" stock).
