Found this interesting on Facebook Marketplace since I have one like it. I would probably buy it BUT its too far from me and the price is a tad high. The owner claims the tractor is NOS, which I assume it could be with the tag still on the steering wheel. the Craftsman hood emblem (which I am looking for) is in pretty good shape, and the tip of the muffler still has a little white on it. Who knows. Here is the ad (if it will come up), what the owner says about it, and some pictures.......

"I have a vintage 1965 (6hp) Sears Craftsman 26 rider. It was purchased new and parked for 50 years. There is also a new (in 1965) 36" snow blower attachment still in the box and a small red tow behind cart. I made an attempt and succeeded briefly in getting it running but not for long and I never got back to it. Now I need the space. I don't believe it ever mowed a blade of grass until I tried it just to make sure it worked. This is an antique honestly. My hope is that someone will take it and restore it (not make a go cart out of it) if for no other reason, a conversation piece, show piece, or hard to find parts source. I didn't know where to start on the price but talking to a few people gave me an idea. I will accept reasonable offers. Thanks for looking!"
