First update on the 1967 Rugg

Hey guys, first update on the Rugg. Engine code is 170702 which I’m told is a 1967, cleaned the carb, cleaned and set the points gap and put in a new pull string after a first start backfire snapped the old one lol runs pretty decent I must say!

The little Briggs sounds good.

Thank you sir! I’d be outside right now messing with it if it wasn’t -12F ! lol

Man that little thing is cool as hell. I remember you mentioning a little Pencraft, my dad had one way back, and we almost bought another one.

Andy! How the heck are you my friend? Merry Christmas and happy new year(belated) lol ya when he said he wanted me to have his Rugg I was hoping it was the older style like the Penncraft but it was this guy lol That pen craft is sweet and I’m hoping to score it next…fingers crossed 🤞

Cool . Sounds good.

Thanks Terry! I’m still amazed by how well it runs after how long it’s been sitting, there wasn’t much oil in it and black so I wasn’t optimistic lol

Got it running like a top

[@RooneysSears01]

I was actually amazed at how well she ran boss, my nephew had this thing for along time and it was outside with no air filter on when I saved it lol

It's amazing to revive an 1960s lawn tractor. Lots of repair videos on your channel, Are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts for small engines and maybe we would work together to help more people in the community.
