You thats a great buy. Im sorry you are dissapointed in it. You bitched about everything. Thats really sad !! I have 1 of these except deck is white its a wonderful machine very heavy !! Roper made great mowers !!

Well after owning some tractors that are almost like new, this one is not very nice condition wise. I do have rougher tractors than this but I also have way nicer ones. Just the way it goes with a 40-50 year old tractor

I love these old tractor mowers. If i had the money id travel the usa with a trailer buy them as well as the walk behind 1s. 1 thing that pisses me off so much is when people butcher them to make pulling tracyors outta them. I think they should all b restored. Yeah people can do what they want its there deal but it takes them away from the people that has a love for them !! I just love them so much !! I did get a estate keeper , bolens mower its cool but needs alot of work..

Man I’ll bet you have both a vacume leak and a dirty carb on that thing, honestly I’d stick a better condition engine in that thing, rebuild the carb, and reseal the intake, should clean up nicely. See you at GT Daze dude.

[@71_sears97]

Turns out it was an incredibly dirty carb. Runs amazing now with just a carb cleaning!

@@71_sears97 nice dude, you bringing it to portage

[@PaulieDetmurds]

I think the decals were "re-done" to be honest? Hey, you have it now, just cut off that welded nonsense! I like it! Love those other machines as well!

Pretty clean machine. This is my white elephant in Texas. I have a 6/16 rolling frame but the grille and dash are cracked

Damn that’s sad that the tiller got thrown out that would of been really cool. Still a nice find it could be a million times worse, just paid a lot for one with no engine and it’s rusty, different paint , ect
