D_Mac 8,623 #1 Posted September 23, 2021 So I picked this up month's ago as a parts machine. Decided it was to nice to part out. Picked up a steering wheel and put new tires on the front just to be able to move it around. It sat for a while until @squonk picked up an engine for it at the Big Show. So the engine was swapped out. Wiring rewired. Used the tins on old engine to match the paint. Tranny fluid and filter changed. I didn't paint anything when it was apart because the engine and transmission were untested. Well now it's finished and I'm glad I saved it and didn't part it out. Runs and drives nice and still looks pretty good. 8 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Lawn Ranger, the Suburbans, and RJs are they the same size? I have a Lawn Ranger and was wondering.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rfp55 33 #7 Posted September 29, 2021 Looks great, like the look. I might add Air Ride. Thats a 16x6.50-8 tube with 2 psi on top of the seat cover. Kind of a whoopee cushion/ hemmoroid crater thing. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,467 #8 Posted September 29, 2021 D-Mac looks great. You can get foam to redo the seat. Or there is a seller on Face Book does these type of seats. There new. Look in market place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuneup 1,433 #9 Posted September 29, 2021 You embarrass me. It took me 4 months to refresh a deck and you, prior to getting health treatments, refresh a complete machine? Short frame and gen Kohler - love it! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,162 #14 Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) 2 psi. Is arbitrary. Results May vary depending on load! Edited September 30, 2021 by squonk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,467 #16 Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) D_Mac It came out great. Shined up nicely. What is the plan for the seat? Enjoy it. It reminds me of this I had at one time. Edited October 3, 2021 by Retierd Wrencher 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,623 #17 Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I put a seat on that I had in my garage. Not a WH seat but way more comfortable then what was on it. I also put the plow on it. Edited October 3, 2021 by D_Mac 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
