Nice haul there! Pretty cool that the JD has the hub caps on it.

Is there a Teccy in the Massey or a Kohler?

Its def a techumseh, I am selling it to a friend that does tractor pulling....The transaxle is locked tight, it does have some kind of sleeve hitch lift arm on the back, have to try and get it out of my truck later.

The 210 I am not really sure the value of with the plow since I dont get JD tractors often. The deck is there but has one patch.

This was the second time in a week I picked up a machine that the owner didnt know if it was able to move from its parked location..

This thing was in a back yard behind a shed, so I told the guy look I have to drive my truck all over your yard or I got to roll out. So I winched it all over roots and rocks etc with the axle locked up in my work clothes.. haha. It is kind of rough, missing the muffler to so i cant really start it.

That winch project seems to be paying off. Good stuff.

Cleaned the carb on the deere, messed w/the points, new fuel line and we have a go with this engine, it actually runs great. I drove it back and forth in the garage & it moves, so will reassemble tonight and see what I got.

Good deal, she sounds pretty good! Should be a nice tractor to plow snow with.

Also I still love the hubcaps on 'er, haha.

more of the same.... 22hp ELS v-twin craftsman

That craftsman turned out not so good, all the pushrods are bent and valves out of seats....

Anyway got my john deere belts all sorted out and its driving now....very cool machine the variator makes it pretty useful...


I adapted this sleeve hitch from a husquvarna on to my GTH17 simplicity, now i just need some real attachments.

I picked up the awesome sauce tonight, some bad ass machines here... the muffler murray, and the craftsman with no hood has a 8" stretch. Hideous machines haha, at least it was all free...

Bwhahahahaha!

The exhaust on that Murray is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Pretty good Fail Thread material if you ask me!

Hahahahaha, that's awesome!

Fail?! That muffler setup is mint! LOL!!!


Any plans?

no I am just gonna try and save the engines, 12hp flattys, off of them and use them for something....the rest is scrap at best.... the 17hp ohv has been sitting with the air cleaner off so the carb is full of water..... ugh... the hechinger tractor has a really crappy tecumseh engine I wont touch...

also you can pick any of them up for free.....haha any of you guys can haha

That exhaust is crazy awesome on that Murray/Ford ! HaHa

anyone know anything about any of these?   1961 wheel horse suburban, and a sickle bar mower by Planet Jr.

I know that they should both be in my shed!!

Hahaha. Seriously though, I have always wanted one of those old Wheel Horses with the 3-piece transmission, they're such nice looking tractors. Looks like it has a K141 or K160 in it? The Planet Jr. walk behind is pretty cool too, should have a Briggs engine and single drive speed if I'm not mistaken.

Nice haul there for sure! I'm definitely a little jealous, haha.

The wheel horse has a Kohler K91T, its a little guy, it does turn over but I think low compression, not sure yet...

The planet jr has a super old briggs single cyl. missing a bunch of parts, probably could run a predator in it....

Hahahahaha!!! That has to be your next photo for the forum header!

picked up a forest gump snapper & some ugly murray...& a pile of junky lawn equipment.

Check out the awesome deck lever on the snapper

Now that's a custom job! Hahaha.

picked up a sweet 16GTH today, 16hp briggs vanguard v-twin, hydro mower, actually runs and drives....!!!

picked up allot of tractors lately....mainly just to pull motors, got a old craftsman that had a vanguard v-twin 14 and a scotts that has a kohler command.....

I put some 26's on my death horse friday night, really tough tires to mount on the typical skinny rim.  Was out cutting trees on my simplicity stretch....

Nice shots man! The Horse looks good with those rear shoes! The simplicity is still looking good too. Still looks so handy!

Here is a funny one a dropped off for me to fix.... 4hp tecumseh, and it has a drive system like a snow blower with the two discs that spin at 90 deg from eachother. Hard wheels, but it drives and cuts, never saw anything like it from sears.

Been working on my own stuff allot lately, but this weekend I got a call about these sears tractors. An old man died and the family was doing a clean out of all his stuff....

(3) sears garden tractors....
