I have 2 Sears and 2 Ropers ( Sears were made by Roper if u didn't know )...2 Onan's 2 B&S's. 16 & 18 HP Yeah i prefer the Electric 3PH too...those manual ones are terrible ( imo )... i have snowblowers ( 2 ) Gas Tiller 3PH ...42" & 48" decks....Couple plows....Harrow...Push Blades ( 2 )..Dethatcher... Trailer...Sprayers ( 2 ).... making a Front End Loader soon ...have a bucket for that... Chains etc... only 2 are running one of each engine brand got a decent repower engine to replace one tractor... and lots of spare parts available from another chassis.... always looking for more too..lol 🇨🇦🤓🤟

I got a Sears 18 ( B&S ) that i'm working on today..i rebuilt the fuel pump in winter ( new kit ) and used it a couple times..then sat till Spring..went to use it and it is not idling or pulling fuel ( again ) so putting an electric pump in to test....before i yank it apart ( again )...🤬 i had it running ok but it was dying and shutting off soon after i ran around yard...could be the carb needs some luv again ( i cleaned it on engine like you ) but i felt i had cleaned it enough ( i cringed at your carb cleaning 😂 )... that is my last thing to do... i will know after the Electric pump confirms at " least " i am getting fuel ( my filters showed no gas being pulled ) .... i just want to cut some grass before digging into it deeper.... might be the carb too.. oh i replaced all my fuel line too.... old lines ..i thought the fuel outlet seemed loose ( it was ) and needed to confirm no leaks anyways..tank is pretty clean ( i forgot to clean it but it did flow fine and is plastic... when they run they are great...acting up..not so great 🇨🇦🤓🤟

Best to till after plowing. the harrow doesn't really do much, the tractor compacts the soil more than the harrow can loosen it.

I’ve beat my ST16 pretty hard. Predator swapped it off the bat. Rly fun unit. Have a few Deere’s & seem like more of them in my area. Whenever I find these they’re pretty worn out. Milky transmission oil, & bad fuel system destroyed. The old engine ram good but because it’s hard to get Tecumseh parts I took the motor off for that. You are right I’ve seen a few clean tractors on FB, & if I see one that’s decently clean for 300 that isn’t completely destroyed I’m buying it. I’ve got 4 units rn, & I’m out of room. I wonna get a 1968-1974 110 with the 10hp but I can convert to a bigger Kohler cuz I’ve collected the motors cuz they’re getting hard to find virgin engines.

If you plow it in the fall and let the ground go through the winter freeze you'll find that the dirt will do much better, it'll work up like sand. Or it does in Kentucky.

good times we still have my great gpaws supa decta ford tractor about half rusted into the son a beach will run

Like that sickle bar mower on it. 👌🏻

Very cool thanks for sharing , I been looking for a few years but I could never find one of those with the second transmission must be pretty rare, ended up getting an old John Deere 140 with tiller it’s hydrostatic so can just creep real slow

Dad was a dealer for years, i still have his original 66 model as well as a 72 for blade work and an 81 with loader. Use em all and love em! A suggestion on your jim dandy, you really need to have the dual trans to make it work right, or the low speed JD that yours isnt.. Glad to see ya working it thogh, and nice video!

Where can I get parts for these?

I have a 1974 Cub Cadet that my dad bought when I was a kid. Still looks and runs good, although I replaced the 10hp Kohler with a fresh 14hp Kohler of the same period. The 10 ran fine, but I always found it to be a bit underpowered. It’s a much more capable tractor with the 14. I also have a 1995 Simplicity Sovereign I bought new in 95. Mowed and plowed snow with it for 25 years until I replaced it with a ztr. It’s now just plows snow.

Got the same mower. Would u be willing to have a conversation about these with me ?

I have a 69 suburban 12, just put a new carb on it. It runs great now. Also have a 16 with onan engine, i hope to look it over this winter.

As far as I’ve seen, a sears tractor is the only thing I’ve seen that uses belts that doesn’t throw them or rip them within 15 minutes of pulling

I have the chance to buy one of these in about the same condition. One owner. Stored in a dry heated basement. No mower deck, but it has a snowblower and front plow. $750. Is that a lot to pay?

That is a nice tractor. I just bought one similar to this. Definitely not as nice and clean as this. The old Onan engine sounds good!

Man that sickle mower is cool

Hello Matt- I found you- ha - I got the ss12 with loader from you- good video- keep it going

those were good tractors.a young friend of mine has one.

You ever sell any garden tractors ?? Or implements

Can you make me a video of how to mount the sickle mower to a sears , and a power king and if different a Jim dandy My uncle has the tractor and mower I am not sure how it mounts

Hi Matt, I don’t know if you would give me your email address, I want to send you a picture of the tractor with the leak so you can tell me what you think, thanks,Lenny

Your the best, thank you again

Thank you for getting back to me so soon, I want to subscribe to your videos but I don’t see a subscribe button, thanks again, love your tractor. So you don’t think it’s anything major?

Any idea where the leak is, I want to buy one like yours for $200 but the frame has a lot of dry oil on the frame, and it doesn’t run, please help, love your videos

Awesome little garden tractor!!!

Great tractor and tiller. Always wanted one of those. But I have 12 garden tractors now of various brands. Don’t need any more. Hehe. Was gunna say you need the second transmission to slow the tractor down. Have a great day.

You don't look as stupid doing it as you sound

Had to make sure you got your face on

My dad had one

beautiful SS16! glad to see it's still up and going. glad to see it's still going in the family thats awesome! i'd love to keep my st/10 around.

Awesome old tractor. I love it.

Good choice in tractor👍 I have a couple dozen sears myself, drop by my channel and check it out if you want

Not sure but it could have that hose to the air cleaner housing to blow warm air in during use in cold weather

Make a figure 8 with your drive belt so your tiller runs the other direction.

Thank you for the video.

Power King tractors are very good, well built tractors. I have two. Love both, every much.

Nice job. I have 12 garden tractors, of various makes, and many attachments.

Looking forward to seeing your mower in the hay!

I have the same tractor with a mower deck & one bottom plow that I got from my Dad . The Onan engine was ruined so I replaced it with a 11 hp Honda GX somthing engine. This was about 40 years ago now , it works perfectly but I cant find 14.25" mower blades for it now since Sears went out of business. I'm glad to have found you'r show .

Brother I remember looking at those in the Sears catalog I am 54 years old thanks so much for sharing awesome looking lawnmower

We had one of them bought it brand new. It had a front blade 3 pt hitch with a single bottom plow and discs and a 42 inch mower deck. It mowed 5 acres of grass for over 20 years the onan motor was so wore out had to shoot air in the fuel tank to get it running

I enjoyed just watching you Dig up thank you for the video

Nice!!! When I disc, I go at an angel. Don't make the ride any smother but seems to fill in and break up the clumps better. Just my experience. Doc

Sadly I have no place to till or put in a garden where I'm at. oh well maybe one day

I agree there’s nothing cooler than working these old horses like our fore fathers did! Great video sir!

ive got the same tracrtor with the same sickle mower.

I have the ST/16 with all the tools for the garden. It appears that the coulter is not low enough on the plow. It should do the verticle cutting while the plowshare does the horizontal cut. Also your depth for most garden plants should be at least 6 inches. It is good to see these old tractors in action.

I just happened to run across your video. (Yep, I subscribed). I had a ST12 Sears, 1974, that had that knock. It turned out the connecting rod was loose. I tightened it. It came loose again. I tried new connecting rod and bolts. Never would stay tight. Then I messed up and sold it. Now, I have a ST16 that is beyond rough. I've got a few videos on it. Everything was stuck from the engine to the seat. I'll be watching. Doc

You sure talk a lot
