Any vintage garden tractor owners here?

I got the bug. I wanted a garden tractor for my garden. I scored this old Sears with a 16 horse onan twin for $50. Runs good on the jug but needs the typical fuel system clean up.

Then last week I got this Case at a yard/estate sale for $40. It is all hydraulic drive, lift and pto but only 10 horse Kohler. It also ran up on carb clean after I filed the points.

And I am looking for more. I eventually would like to have a 18-20 horse hydrostatic one but also have dedicated tractor for each task so I don't have to switdh from tiller to snowblower ect.

Some nifty ol' units there WB3.

Daman-the CC 4x4 speaks for itself Where does the deck go?

Well, there's lawn mower racing and now they can start a new trend with "monster mowers" that blast over a row of normal old mowers and crush 'em. They just need to give it a little more lift and put some small tractor tires on...........and..........

I might do something to the Sears, like maybe a cut down car grill shell and hood, since it is so dam ugly. I am also going to put hydraulics on it using a power steering pump, to lift the dozer and tiller. The Case I will probably repaint and get a new sticker kit for, it is a pretty valuable tractor. Maybe resell it at some point.
The 4x4 CC is nuts, I love that. I have also seen pictures of one made into a crawler.
