Hi All,
Found an opportunity I just could not pass up. I have been wondering about trying to restore my first tractor. Well, ask and you shall receive. A friend that I work with has been passes by a salvage yard on his way home from work. The other day he happended to see this tractor sitting outside on a trailer and decided that he could not let to get scrapped. After I told him that I was looking to try a restoration, he told me that he would give this tractor to me for what he paid for it. $100 later and it is home. It is a 1964 Sears Suburban 725 (7.25hp). Has original tires and wheel weights, as well as part of the original 3pt hitch. The only think it is missing is the right side belt cover. If I can't find one, I will try and fab one up eventually.
Since I don't have any manuals for this, and given its age, any help/information/pictures/manuals you all might have would really help me out. Enjoy the pictures! I also included one of what it looked like new in the catalog.
