1967 Suburban 10 plus Sicklebar mower

Here is another Sears that I got in the recent trade deal.
A 1967 Suburban 10,factory recoil start tractor.
I also got this Sears sicklebar mower in the deal.
I plan to give the Suburban 10 and the sicklebar a little tlc then mount the sicklebar on this 67.
I think it will be a great show combo and of course I will have to use it some too.

Good score on that combo!

Thanks Kenny.
I really like them both.
I had been keeping my eyes open for a 67-68 factory recoil start Suburban for a long while.
The sicklebar was an added bonus.
Eventually I will hopefully find time to give them some TLC.

Oh, those are both pretty. That's 67 has survived very well.

By the way, that sickle bar is the first generation made by Sears. After that model, they were made by haban.

The Sears sickle bars have two minor flaws.
No breakaway if you hook onto something, it can cause catastrophic failure

And the other is it's only good for about five degrees of negative angle if your bank is much steeper than that, it'll start hammering pretty hard.
