This old tractor came up for sale. I was wondering if anyone knows if the rear fenders are correct or not? I have never seen anything like them before. If they are a original option then I just might buy it. Thanks.

I don't think those fenders are original, at least I've never seen any like that. Now watch, as soon as I post this someone will come along and post a picture of an original sales brochure showing those exact fenders and prove me wrong.

Ahhh... that's why they didn't look familiar. Looks like some previous owner added some sort of brackets to get them to cover more of the tires. Actually a good idea if you operate in mud very often.

Ahh I see clearly now. I bet the fenders are off and just sitting on the tires. I haven't had a chance to go look at it yet. Grass is already growing here in WA and I cant keep up with consumer needs. I have a 25hp Kohler V-twin that would love to be in that old girl. I best try and find some time to go buy it soon. It's a give away price of $50.

That plow would cost you about $100-$150 around here,and you rarely see one that hasn't been beaten up badly or rusty!..never mind the tractor--the few Suburbans on craigslist ,etc here are listed for $300 and up--mostly up,and few are in good running condition,they need the usual "bringing back from the dead"--clean the carb,fix the 4 flat tires,hope the engine runs good--..
