wfrpalm 218 #5 Posted March 7, 2021 Was there a Lawn Ranger in 1965, I thought they were just numbers during that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Kane 9 #6 Posted March 7, 2021 Wheel Horse 2.pdf I'm working on adding a few pictures. Based on the serial number and information I've researched, that's what I've found. I would like to restore it and get it running and looking new. I'm having trouble loading photos. There are some on the homepage of my account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,741 #7 Posted March 7, 2021 L-155 with electric start. Great tractor. I am still using all year round the L-107 (1967) my Father bought in May67. She is my chore tractor and is easy to get on and off. Love her... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dclarke 4,032 #9 Posted March 7, 2021 The Lawn Rangers are perfect for little ones. I rebuilt this one for my grandkids a few years ago. Good luck with yours!! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do my best with resto's but WI may be a bit of a travel for you, that I'm usually busier than a cat on a hot tin roof. I hope some one closer will jump in with an offer for you.

Kevin Kane 9 #11 Posted March 8, 2021 dclarke's photo was very inspiring! I've heard of a gentleman in Plymouth Indiana that does excellent work but am not able to locate him, I'm not opposed to a Wisconsin road trip if you take appointments. I'm not in a big hurry I just want to get it started. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
