Sears Craftsman FF/20 revival, part I: Getting it running again

We bought this in 2009 actually, it hasn't run since it's first resurrection at that time. We're taking this to the Zagray Farm Fall Festival in Colchester, CT October 6th and 7th, 2012.

TRACTOR LAND IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!

[@1944johndeerel]

Some tractors had reversable rims to give it a wider stance for stability. I have seen ads for those selling them against the john deere 400 which has a 19hp kohler, the 420 which has an onan 20hp and the 430 which has a 20hp yanmar diesel.

[@jojojeep1]

That’s amazing I see a lot of videos with lawnmowers that were abandoned for seven years left outside and started, my dad has an old 1990 or maybe 1989 Ropa 14 hp Briggs & Stratton twin opposed the only thing needed is a starter on waiting for it this week, he didn’t start it for two years and it’s set in his garage never left outside I’m praying I have the same blessings everybody else does and it runs

[@phill903]

The way the tires are mounting on that tractor it was set up for lawn mower racing,that explains why the racy paint job also. Just my thoughts or 2 cents :)

[@ReadingAreaRailfan]

We need a complation of Lynol making tractor sounds lmao

[@andy72xbox]

very good video, as usual

[@ditto1958]

Hey, Lynol! At last, another Tractorland video. I was suffering from extreme withdrawal. It's great to see you and Dave "in your element!" Remember, you can never have enough tractors.

[@castlemania08]

My fix for a dirty carburetor and jets: boiling water and sugar soap. Let the whole lot soak for an hour, works brilliantly

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

I've always had the opposite experience with carb cleaners. I've stripped automotive paint off of cars with the Walmart special Supertech carb cleaner.

[@TheAaron0101]

its ben a long time cool

[@RooneysSears01]

Man it's great seeing another video from Tractorland! Great job guys!

[@Travis_H]

u guys could make alot if you sell some parts on ebay from those tractors

[@1972bug2180]

Glad to have you back on KZbin!!!

[@bigphil1982siny]

Great video i love working on stuff like this

[@crisprtalk6963]

Where is the seat it had??

[@kristynmanchester6428]

i hope you plan on taking the big gilson and the roper RT 10 if you still have it

[@moldymac]

Man that carb was a mess! It's coming along, should be ready for the show.

[@xmasjohndeere]

Do you still have a craftsman push mower working and with a good bagger that you can sell to me for cheap

[@bolens733]

Yea more tractor lane videos

[@Lakeslake79]

Nice, finally more tractor land vids! Keep up the good videos, and awesome tractor

[@1974Alfa5Spd]

Hmm, car-bitch-urator. I'll have to remember that next time I get mad at one, I won't be able to help laughing.

[@Kaos116]

'This thing is going to run beautifully. OH! COME ON!'

[@NRP1991]

sweeet i love any type of sears/craftsman!

[@GarnettM]

Now you know where the name toilet bowl carb came from -Inside looks like shxt ,OMG thats bad .

[@1anthonybrowning]

It looks like the FF would stand for Full Figured!

[@the_burchfield1655]

Anthony Browning fully fucked lol

[@67RcodeFairlane]

The wheels actually aren't on backwards.

[@justinstearns9723]

I know they put these against the Deere 400 series and the Cub 982s, but I don't think they ever put them against a Bolens large frame. Of course they are bigger than the FFs, so it probably wouldn't have made sense for them to do so

[@dexterro6010]

I'll see you guys at Zagray on Saturday.

[@kevinisam]

i accadently clicked the disl;ike so innore it

[@lobsterbox20]

Hey Lynol, this is awesome! It's great to see the FF20 in the spotlight again. I have yet to watch the other videos of the revival but I'm excited! I can't wait to see the big Gilson again, that thing is a monster. cheers man.

[@WillsGarage91]

See you guys Saturday or Sunday at Zagray!

[@twoZJs]

That is the neatest tractor, full instru panel, firewall, hori engine shaft. Great vid. Where is your junkyard/shop? I'm looking and have an itch.

[@Sexy_Goat]

Wow took that sears service technician a while to get to that one

[@MrMini500]

i have a question on that sears? msg me if you see this please, would much appreciate it. i have a ff 24 sears and i got the carb mostly tuned but when i give it full throttle it wants to race off! is there away to fix that or help resolve it?

[@andrewchase2181]

the wheels are on right mine i bought the same way

[@jasonmushersee]

Why are onan engines always round like a big pumpkin?

[@67RcodeFairlane]

i usually see them mounted that way, its no big deal.

[@joeyf504327]

@7:55 this is why you never pour gas or spray starter fluid into a running engine!

[@naterade21]

i never knew daves channel was moldymac i learned somethin today lol

[@pacificdrumma]

I want to help fix it! See you at zagray, ill be there Sunday

[@kealinvinson2915]

have you ever worked on a briggs twin 1 cylinder

[@vemcomachines9634]

We have a ff24 and it no longer works don't know why it broke

[@benhall8946]

don't get rid of the flag they done a decent job painting it

[@rclifefucks637]

Want to sale it I want to buy it

[@Junkyard-Restorations]

nice tractor, the mods i don't like are the paint and flat black paint and racing seat and conferderate flag, if that racing wheel had a wood surround, bigger and was put on right, it would look ok

[@engineHOG780]

With the Confederate flag on it, in 2015 u might want to paint over it lol :)

[@warnematt]

WB lynol

[@chrisdod]

[@calebruegsegger8337]

It's not the ff 18 it's a get/18 I own one

[@the_burchfield1655]

Caleb Ruegsegger gt18 is more of a suburban style. there was both a ff18 and a gt 18.

[@dustinmcaninch5628]

[@christopherjohnson5827]

[@XLexieXBabyX]
