Hey guys, happy new year to you all! Just sharing my new project with ya, I believe it to be a 1968 Rugg(I’ll update this if it’s different) neat little tractor, 7 hp Briggs on it.

Happy new year to you as well Todd! Ya sorry I’ve been so quiet lately but there’s nothing going on and I don’t want to keep posting about the same stuff lol but this lil Rugg should be a fun one, hope everything’s going great on your end brother

Nice update! That hood looks like fiberglass. I believe Bondo makes a fiberglass repair kit. There should be a date code stamped on the engine, assuming the engine is original that would get you close to the age of the mower.

Thanks JM! Yup she’s fiberglass and really decent other than the mounting points. I ran outta carb spray before I got that far on the block but will definitely let you guys know what i find out!
