Soo who likes to play with lawnmowers and tractors ?

I had this 1967 sears custom In the scrap so I decided to try to get her going again.

Her transmission was seized up and i got her to work again last night after tearing into it
it has 3 forward gears and 2 reverse



I need to modify the grille and hood since its not the original motor


I also have 2 other mowers and an 1959 ford 8n

I have a 1968 wheel horse (raider 12) the best damed lawn tractor in the world , and a modified racing lawn mower ( Monster Energy Race Mower ) I haven't drove either one of them in a year or so . The engine is a Briggs 400 cc 12 hp engine ported and polished and a few other mods . The wheel horse is in the picture of the 35s before I put them on the blazer and I'll have to get one of the racing machine .

Tractor? Did someone say tractor? How does this work?

We are die hard JD at our place and have all green and yellow tractors among other things. Tractors include (from smallest to biggest) a Model A, 70, 3020 gas, 4020 diesel, 4450, and the 4955 in the picture. Love to "play" with them on the farm. No better line of work than farming

sorry I don't have more pics. not normally things that get posted online lol but I did manage to find this one of the 4020 with duals on for pulling our no till grain drill and our 9400 combine in the background from only a couple weeks ago. I forgot I took it in our new pole barn trying out our new lights at night lol it isn't the greatest because I used my phone

Just got the '66 back from a motor rebuild and repaint:

That has caused my dad to start looking for a 510 to restore since that was the first tractor that my grandfather bought.

Dad ended up selling our 8640:

He replaced it with a much newer 9220. I don't have any pictures of the new tractor yet though.

Before we got out of farming, we had a 4430 & a 4230 as well as a 9510 4wd combine, and a bunch of other implements, planters, etc.

We used to run two F935 mowers, but they have both been relegated to parts mowers for the F935 we use at our church. We now have a JD 1435 4wd mower that my mother still managed to get stuck:


At home I have a tried & true 1991 Simplicity 16LTH with a 44" deck & 42" single stage snow blower that now has over 2000 hours on it. Bought it for $300 4 years ago and after putting $200 into it then, I haven't put more than it costs for oil changes since.

Got a 1969 cub model 73 I been toying with restoring since I was a teen.

2 ford powermasters, a 1958 841 and a 1959 861. The 841 has a sherman overdrive trans in it. We restored it about 6 years ago. The 861 was restored 2 years ago.

1943 ih farmall model m that's a rare trike model and lp burner. It needs to be restored.

My lawnmower is a troybilt ztr50

Giovanni you might want to check the numbers on that 8n, they were only produced 1947-1952. The front sheetmetal and flathead is a n series but it can't be a 1959.
