Just watching a few of your vids as a new sub and what a collection. Good that you have all of the sturage space. I will just browse around😉 BTW, where are you located?
My parents inherited a 1968 SS12 from my grandparents about 6 years ago. Still looking for a loader as well as maybe building a backhoe for it. I will be restoring it this summer as that falls on me. So lucky!
@@crankysports was running it yesterday and I think I may have overheated while moving soil with a plow. It started smoking pretty good. Will definitely do a restoration this summer, though do you have any ideas as to what it could be (blueish smoke, most likely oil)
Ok thanks you sooo muck sir and I'll keep looking for a sears tractor.. I see some that says it's a diesel ⛽️.. will that type work or only gasoline ones
If you lived near me, I'd love to buy the CRAFTSMAN FEL for my 1991 GT6000 with the Horizontal Shaft Kohler Magnum M18. But I'd probably need to upgrade to a M20 and add a 3-Point Hitch for a Weight Tray... Take care Mr. Cranky, 🤓 -Thomas Port Orchard, Washington
helland raise the float level, and make sure you have a brass float it should not flood. I lower one “pontoon” a little more than the other on the brass floats, it negates the need for a float spring
*Great Find!!!*
i am still looking for another one , maybe one year LOL!
But my first one took 10+ years of looking to find.
Still looking?
I almost was gonna sell my second one but they’re too hard to find.
Awesome channel! Just found ya today, love all the Sears stuff. I have a 69 Suburban 12 and I love it
Thanks!

I noticed a good looking Orange Sears in the garage.
David g yes you did
@@crankysports A Tractor like that would look good in my garage.
David g we’ve had this discussion lol
Got any tractors for sale with the loaders on it ready to go? I’m In California I need soemthing small like these for my yard boss….
Nope, and if I did I’m on the opposite coast… I’m in Massachusetts
I would like to buy a front end loader
Keep your eyes open, they pop up now and then. I sold two of mine, I’m keeping two.
AWESOME, I'm waiting to work on a 18/6 .I want a loader for it . Never comes up craigslist
I found my last two on Facebook Market place. That has almost replaced craigslist in my area it seems
Hey I found a front end loader with no bucket. I wanted to know what size bucket can I use to attach to it
If it has a Sears subframe it will only bolt up to a Sears. But, if you’re handy with sawzall and a welder, anything can be made to fit
Ok thanks you sooo muck sir and I'll keep looking for a sears tractor.. I see some that says it's a diesel ⛽️.. will that type work or only gasoline ones
I'm gonna start calling you the loader king lol. Sounds like you've made out pretty good lately.
offroader94 yep, just got lucky I had money when stuff popped up.

Take care Mr. Cranky,

TK Skagen the Craftsman one is gone. Guy picked it up Sunday, which is why I had money to buy the SS12 with loader
Love the Suburbans but keeping the Onan carbs from flooding has been my bane.

@@crankysports Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.
I got tired of trying to explain stuff to my wife.. so now she's my ex-wife.
Yeah I'm keeping my wife...
Gotta do what you gotta do sir! Completely understand. Metal is cold for sure.. 😆
