Hey guys, first time posting but I’ve been using this site for the last few weeks for info while I get my st/16 running. Long story short I had it running just long enough to hook the plow up and test it out, then the next morning my starter motor grenaded. I’ve got a new one on order but I’ve...

Hi everyone. I recently got my hands on an old sears custom 6. One of its biggest issues is the front wheels. They are super rusty and just plain destroyed. I'm having a very hard time finding new wheels and figuring out what will fit. If someone could point me in the right direction or any help...

My neighbor has this 1969? Sears Custom 7 (917.25440) with cab and snowblower. Her husband took care of this tractor but has since passed. He built a cab with windshield wiper, added a snowblower, and added hydraulic controls to the blower within the last couple years. He was an engineer and...

Hey all! Just picked up this 725 today for 300 bucks. I had one many years ago which lead me to this site to begin with. Well, long story short, I sold my original one and have regretted it since. This one starts, runs, and mows exceptionally well! It's missing some things rho that I will need...

A friend and neighbor had a Suburban 12 (which he bought new) with 42 inch mower, snow blade, snow thrower (the bigger Haban, from 1977), cart and, most importantly, the generator attachment. He passed 6 or 7 years ago and his widow is reluctantly considering selling the whole lot and has asked...

Several years ago I bought my late grandfather's possibly 68 Sears 12hp from the owner who bought it from grandpa's estate, after the new owner caught it on fire. I recieived it in pieces, and have since gotten it together and running. My question is did the 12hp electrical system include a...

Hi All, I inherited a Sear GT/18 Twin 6 speed garden tractor model 917.253741. I'm guessing it's at least 30 years old. Right now the serial number is obscured by the hitch for a vacuum bagger. The tractor has been sitting neglected and unused for at least 7 years. My goal is to get this thing...

I am building a pulling tractor from a predator 670cc v-twin motor. I was wondering if anyone else has attempted to build anything like this before. (Tips would be helpful). I am going to be running it in an open rpm class. 1000lbs and box stock motor from harbor freight are part of the rules I...
