A couple months ago me and MurrayMayhem, the Florida one, went and picked up 3 Sears mowers and one really rusty Roper. I got the one mower that was in the best condition and had a good hood, nose piece, and a 12hp Kohler K-series (K321 I believe) motor and the sears that was parted out with no dash, hood, engine, or clutch. MM got the Roper, the second most complete Sears, and a frozen up Onan. Here's my two

This is clearly the one that is more complete as you can see I pur my 26x12x12 ag tires on her, all she needs a starter and belt.

This is the one that will be extensively modded, I set a 5.5 horse B&S motor on this I don't know if that will stay or not, if not I'll probably try to get a higher horse Honda clone to put on here with a centrifugal clutch.

I just ordered a starter, coil, and points for the 12 horse. It is my birthday present from my parents so in a few days when I get those and install them I will be able to do a test start of the motor.

That's where they're going after I get some rims and tubes. The rims that they are on are rusted out and the tires are dry rotted but they were free like all my tires.

Little change on this, I found some cheap 5 lug hubs on ebay and I am going to drill them out to 1 3/8" to put in two high speed bearings from bmi. I will also be drilling, tapping, and installing a grease zerk on the hubs for easy maintenance. After these are installed I will be putting on the original sears style turf tires in the front. All this will cost about $35 vs $45-$55 for rims for the off brand, dry rotted trail wolfs.
I also measured the width of the rear tires and its 45"s wide. Cool
