Another "Another Toy"

[CRF6179]

I went to a garage sale this morning and came home with this creation. My main reason for buying was to get the tires, plow, and 3pt.
The wife called her brother to come see it. He and his son are into the old gas engines, and hit & miss power plants. They showed up and were confidant they could get it going. Some fresh gas and 5-10 minutes tinkering and they had it running. I swapped over a tire from an xl 10 and we drove it around.
The engine is an IH LA 1 1/2-2 1/2 H.P. 300-500 governed speed.
The chassis/transaxle is an old Sears unit.
Someone painted it as a John Deere. Rick

So would that make it a "International John Sears"?

That would be the polite thing to call it. Rick

Is that a wheel horse hood???

 

[CRF6179]

Yes, I believe it is.

Kind of cute and I've never heard of the starter going out on one of those.

That engine looks a lot like the LB another member posted about.

That's what the grand-kids are for. Especially in the winter.

My nephew was the one doing all the cranking. His dad and I stood back in the shade and watched. Rick

Pretty cool. Too bad its painted in those crappy colors.
