So it begins

Hello all,

Been restoring a '69 SS12, it's not missing any parts, but I found a parts unit for $35 about 50 miles away. Now I have visions of having duals on the rear and having spare steering parts and an extra transaxle. Look like it may be worth it?

Probably.

Spare parts are always good. Those rear tires look to be worth the $35

Spare parts are always a plus. Looks like that one was a twin Onan tractor 74-75 ish.

You are about to start down a VERY slippery slope. Proceed with caution!

It's already starting. Right now that tractor is for "parts" before you know it....you'll be looking at it going "I can save it! I just need to find another parts tractor"

I will say a prayer for your wallet and free time. Both are about to be severely impacted.

Agreed.....Get one parts tractor and you end up like this......

I talked to him a bit, he has several suburbans and attachments he's looking to get rid of...guess I'll take the big trailer, lol.

In all honesty, I was wanting the one in the picture, but if I can snag a deck, mule drive, and a set of rear rims I'll be happy.

As others said, you can never have enough parts, PLUS you really must do the Duallys!
Chicks dig it.
This is my SS12 with Duallys. Misses gives me a peck on the cheek every day.

Hey Will! Good to hear from you! Is that the one with the skis on the front?

 

[poncho62]

I think it's the Superman insignia on the back of the seat that gets you that peck........

Welcome back Will.

Hi Guys. Nice to see ya. Yes, that's ski tractor. She still runs like a charm

Well, he didn't have a whole lot there, but I did pick up a good deck and drive for $60. He did have a running ST16 with deck for $300, luckily I didn't take a trailer.

Deck doesn't have any holes, normal banged up dents, but he does regularly grease and turn the blades on them, which I give him a lot of credit doing.

It started out with one MF10 for my son and one Suburban 12 for me... Already a few derelicts from Dad's puttering over the last 50...
Next thing you know, I can't walk around them. Currently (both runners and parts) there are "over 40". Have to think about it some more and really count it out. (Sad, really LOL)
Sold 2 this summer. Tried to sell 2 more and ended up horse trading back to the same amount.
Attachments, dunno. I really should take an inventory.

Periodically, I show my wife the stories of those of you with triple digit numbers. Makes me look like less of a hoarder, but not by much... She's given up on my cutting back soon, I guess.
Thank God she loves me.

Welcome to the madness.
