My dad passed away last month and my brother and I are starting to sell off most of his inventory. He has some sweet vintage mowers and I will be keeping the 1968 suburban 12 that has been in the family throughout the years. Anyway, heres a few pics of what I have and will be restoring a few.

Sorry to hear that, those older Sears are worth some money. If you plan to sell those tractors and or part them out use this site.

They would really appreciate all the those. And if you have and if you have any other older Sears tractors I would enjoy seeing them. Good luck man.

About 5 years back a got this 1987 Cub Cadet 1320 Hydro from my brother in law that was in pieces and rusted out. He joked that I would never get it back to running condition. I took it as a challenge and went overboard with restoring it. I tore it down to the frame and sand blasted everything and thanks to a friend that owns a body shop, I did the body work and painted it (more than 1 person that walked in the body shop thought I was nuts for going as far as I did). I had a few parts rhino lined and another friend that works on Cub Cadets went over all the belts, pulleys and engine. The cutting deck is perfect also but I don't use it to cut the grass so thats hanging up in the shed. The stickers are not period correct but I had to stop the crazyness and just settled. Also built from some parts a leaf vac system and re did my trailer to match the Cub. I hope to get to my 1975 C-10 stepside soon but I got involved re doing a dune buggy go kart for my daughter and promised that I'd finish it before I started on the truck (almost done with it! - last pic shows what I started with)
