Yea you did a great job on it. I like the white pan seat a lot better than the red one. Going to match the wheels to the seat and then it will be ready for all the other shows this year.

Those little "32R/E, 33R/E/ 34R/E" round fender Rangers are sharp looking tractors. Congratulations!

 

Always wanted one to put a K181 onto and set it up like the old R&B Stables pics...

I’m located in an area for finding them. We had around 6 wheel horse dealerships within an hour drive of me. I do suspect they are gonna start drying up soon.

Just a taste of what my collection is looking like these days. I have 9 more round hoods outside waiting to be cleaned up.

Here’s how the “804” is coming along. Unfortunately I have hit more road blocks with this tractor.

the rear end seized up on me when I tried to drive it so I guess it’s getting an 8speed. 
then the tank just let go all of a sudden and started pouring gas out the side. I guess it’s a good time to own a tractor junk yard lol. I happen to have a single piece tank off a 702 that will be going onto this tractor.

In some of the pics I have posted here you can see a blue and white 1966 Sears Suburban 12hp tractor. I bought it here locally from an older gentleman. He had the tecky completely overhauled, and it runs great, the electric three point system on the rear works like a champ. Anyway, my cousin twisted my arm to sell it to him because his Dad had his career with Sears until he retired. I sold my cousin the tractor a year ago and he has yet to come pick it up. LOL, so I guess until he drives the six miles to come get it, I have a free tractor, at least for now. :lol:

You're on fire Ben!

Are you going to Zags next Saturday?

Saw you cruising around at the big show a couple / few times but never really got a chance to catch up with you.
