Oh dear got the bug just brought a LAWN RANGER

Recommended Posts

I have a model list on wheel-horse.co.uk

It's a 68 lawn ranger and should have a tecumseh h60 if it's original....

There's a few of those, James and Paul have one, and there's one up in Scotland.

I think that's the case with all restorations, you never get what you put into them... unless they are for free and only need a coat of paint.

 

it never works that way... :D

 

though the missus thinks I've a few hundred in all my collection - hope she checks on here and redsquare when I croak it!  can't let her sell them for a few hundred :o

Like you, my only hope when I am pushing up daisy's is that my missus doesn't sell my equipment and tools for what she thinks I paid for them. :o

 

BTW. I like the Lawn Ranger

Here is what your lawn ranger should look like when done , great lawn tractors , The lawn ranger was Cecil Ponds favorite tractor ,

To find out all about Cecil Pond I highly recommend buying the Wheelhorse complete history book from Michael Martino .post-5-0-86685200-1422860379_thumb.jpg

Tecumseh engines are quite hard to find here in UK especially the one that you need so you may need to consider putting a kohler engine in which is a better engine in my opinion.

You may find you need to get some part ie steering wheel , from USA.

You have found a great little tractor & there is plenty of wheelhorse experts here on Mom to help you get your lawn ranger up & running.

Most of all , have fun doing restoring it

I am sure I have had 2 of these pass through my hands over the years.

 

I am sure I paid £30 for one & £100 for the other which had a blown engine :o

 

Both went to a mate in Kent & sure he still has one

 

:banghead:  Should have kept them :angry:
