This is a very good video my friend. Very good. You got it. But then blew it by getting rid of it" lol

Hey, thanks Mr. Chooman! It was a great thing to have around but it was hard to use it for mowing. It blew way too much oil past the rings, I had to add a pint every time I mowed! It's in good hands though, I sold it to a guy with a 42" mower, snowblower, 3 point hitch and my spare front end loader, he's taken good care of it and we keep in touch! :)

You could've just put one of those $250, $300 Harbor Freight Predator engines in it, they are Honda clones I see people doing that all the time to these and they work great. I have done it to a vintage Snapper and i wouldnt hesitate swapping my Sears if the engine ever messes up. Anyway its just a thought for anyone in the tractor hobby

[@jaceb7136]

The Onan engine holds a LOT of the tractors value, tons of tractors have the peerless 633A 6 speed but only a few have the Onan opposed twin engine. Sure if it's just a beater rig use a cheaper engine on it but for maximum reselling value having the original engine is essential.

@@jaceb7136yup, each one I got has a different engine than factory but they still work good!

My goodness it's been awhile brother! It's great to see another vid from ya Rory, that tractor was sweet! The rest of the yard art had me drooling too! lol Any update vids coming for us loyal fans?

[@lobsterbox20]

Indeed it has! I've been slowly figuring out a new HD camera and experimenting with video editing software on a new PC so thing have been at a snails pace for most of the spring but I finally managed to get the voiceover process right so I was able to post this video. In regards to an update video: I'm usually rather bad at making widespread update videos that feature a lot of different content and I don't want to go on rambling like I usually do in my spoken word "spring updates" so I thought instead what I would do is try to ramp up my video production and get everything covered in individual segments. Either way, I have a lot to make up for having only uploaded 5 videos in the past year and believe me there has been a LOT going on!

Do you still have the rototiller and manual three point hitch if you do how much do you want for it?

[@starpuss]

Nice to see you posted a new vid! Love the SS16!

[@lobsterbox20]

Thanks man! Your SS/16 is likewise very nice! I've always enjoyed the videos of it. Also, gotta love that 2.3L Ranger!

[@tattoo62]

i just bought on of these but mine is i think a 1973 the grill is a dif color thats the only thing i can tell the dif on these .. i havent got to run it much but man it mows so good and is a power house . it is the heaviest little tractor !! i hope to find more of them and would like to find attachments for it .. also have a 68 ford 120 with roto tiller and a front blade looking forward to fixing them up . but so far the sears is probably the best built . i love em !! figutively speaking !!

[@brentwagner8202]

Buying a 10xl got any tips?

[@akibaforyou]

WHY NOT JUST DO A RE-RING

[@akibaforyou]

I THINK THE MID 70S 16 WERE THE BEST SEARS EVER
