This followed me home yesterday.

Guy was clearing out a property he inherited.

I got the engine (stuck) and an old axle he threw in for free.

The axle on the SS16 is free, and the only thing i see missing is the gas tank and the drive pulleys/belt guard.

Fiberglass grill is broken at the hinge point but looks to be repairable.

LT10 has no motor and is chain drive off a Peerless 742 gearbox.

Am toying around at a full restore of the SS16.  What does everyone think?

If you want some tips on fiberglass repair, look up Team STEAM on YouTube. He’s a truck painter who handles oilfield rigs and does a lot of fiberglass patching.

Personally I’m an advocate of the “originality” aspect when it comes to paintwork, because nobody ever gets upset when a new scratch appears in patina. But that’s just my .02 and it’s your tractor. Nice score!

I also scored a bunch of new and used ATV tires and rims.  I have 4ea of 4x110mm aluminum rims I want to use on my next project.

Ammo box was a bonus.  I'll use that as a tool box on the Sears. cheers

I've got a SS16 that was given to me and had trees and vines growing up through the chassis and lots of wasp nests. I restored and I use it for towing trailers and a wood splitter.

It has the OEM big Briggs twin engine.
It runs like the engergizer Bunny.
Check the differential for water. It gets in around the gear shifter. I installed a umbrella on the lower part of the shifter to shed the water.
You hood can be easily repaired. Mine was broken lots worse than yours and I used the universal angle iron type galvanized metal and made solid braces. (Ace hardware has the stuff tha thas the predrilled 5/16 holes.
I've been using it about 10 years and keeping my eye open for a mower deck and maybe a small disc to pull for making Deer food Plots.

Build it bigger and better, like Steve Austin!

The hood is so tall, you can put pretty much any OPE engine in there including a diesel.

I have been tractor hunting lately and have been mildly successful.

A Wheel Horse Raider 10 6-speed $100
SEARS JUNK YARD SCORE IMG-20240813-195634625
Was thinking of either a built 224cc Predator (12hp) or I have a M12 Kohler Magnum I can slip in.


A free 16hp Briggs Vanguard

A Wheel Horse C-161 8-Speed $125
SEARS JUNK YARD SCORE IMG-20240813-195758251-HDR
This one is getting the 16hp Briggs.


And a SWEET GT6000 Craftsman for $100.
SEARS JUNK YARD SCORE IMG-20240813-195421249

I dumped a little gas in the carb of the GT6000 and it fired right up but blew fur and feathers out of the shrouds so I will have to strip off the tins and clean up the mouse debris.  I hate those little suckers.

I forgot to mention the Dynamark I found with an Oppy and an 820 Peerless.
SEARS JUNK YARD SCORE IMG-20240813-194649398-HDR

Its a 5 speed with 1" axles so I am hoping its an 820.

That 820 and Sears GT6000 holds a lot of potential. No opinion on the engines, since I am a OPE newbie engine wise. Though the 22 HP Predator on my chipper is quite the beast.

Uh, mildly? I'd call that pretty good. In fact REALLY good.
