I just picked this Ranch King up. Drove 2hrs there to get and 2hrs back. The seller wanted $100 for it. When I handed him 5- 20s he handed me 1 back and said he would like to help pay for the gas since I drove so far.😁 It is in really nice condition. Everything works fine, It didn't come with a deck or 3pt hardware. He said he bought it to haul horse manure out of the barns. I would like to find a deck. If any one has an extra lying around please reach out. I have a White GT2055 parts tractor if someone wants to barter parts for deck. I am not even sure of the size of the deck that's

supposed to be on it, and does anyone no the year of this. Thanks for your interest.

Nice nab! You might want to put up a notice in the For Sale Wanted to Buy forum that you are looking for a deck for it. Nice of the guy to help with the gas, you run into decent folks all around.

I had one very similar to yours back in the early to mid 90's. It had a 44" deck. The valve seats dropped on the B&S engine after a few years use, but it was a great tractor until then. I have one picture of it I can upload when I find it.

I would like to see them, I have a couple of White GT 2055's one is like new, the other is a part tractor, with 60'' and 55'' decks. The part tractors 55'' deck was so rusted out I pulled everything off the deck and sent it to be a new wash machine.I want the white to be for my garden chores and use the Ranch King for my mowing. Thanks

OP: Looks a heck of a lot like my 1995 Yardman 999. Made by KW Manufacturing, or Kwik-way, for MTD. Mine uses a 50" deck.

BTW, I do have a spare deck, but have been using for parts. Has the old-style spindles, but thinking I can convert it to the new, modular style spindles some day when the replacement deck, that I bought new in ~2000 via TSC, rusts out.

I may sell it and use the proceeds to freshen up my 20hp Vanguard in my White GT2055, I have 3-20hp 2-18hp all Magnum horizontals and 1-20hp Onan Craftsman GT6000's that I can use to mow.

Similar in sheet metal only, The Sticker on the side of mine just says 18 HP above the word HYDRAULIC, It has a 2 speed axle, 3pt hitch, and deck that are Hydraulic run, and that and mowing deck are shaft driven. the engine is B&S but it also has a different appearance. The rear tires are 27-9.5-15 and the fronts are 18-9.5-8. It is the exact machine as my White GT2055 except the White has a 20hp B&S Vanguard V-twin. Thanks for the picture.

Yeah, mine was a pretty cheap model that's for sure.
