steven 0 #1 Posted June 1, 2009 I have the chance to purchase a 1962 R62 yard ranger, runs like a top and there will need to be some cosmetic work done. My question is is it worth $275? only the hood will need work done to it. any advise will be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,407 #2 Posted June 1, 2009 Umm... what's the model? 1962 models were: 502, 552, 702, 32R and 32E. Since you're calling it a ranger, I'm going to guess you mean either a 32R or 32E which were the Lawn Ranger models. The R model was a Recoil start and the E model was an Electric start. 1962 was the first year for the Lawn Ranger series. As for the price... hard for anyone to say. Pricing is too dependent on many, many variables. Location, availability, condition, potential reconditioning expense... and most importantly... the "want it" factor. How bad do you want it? Is it worth that to you? :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,075 #5 Posted June 2, 2009 I dug around the Ohio Craigslist stuff and found this. Its definitely a Lawn Ranger but I'm no expert on these so someone else will have to give you its correct year. http://columbus.craigslist.org/grd/1188085982.html Mike........

CasualObserver 3,407 #8 Posted June 2, 2009 Cool, nice little project, and it already has a nice upgrade with the Kohler engine on it. Probably worth the $275 to some people, but personally if I were attempting to purchase it...I'd shoot for something lower than that. He even said it's been welded on a little, extra angle iron and the hood needs work. Worst he can do is say no... and you never know until you throw a number out there. Like I said before... the most important piece in determining a value is the "want it" factor! Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
