- Sears tractors that were made in the '60's and '70' were built very rugged and many have lasted over 30 years! Sears can not provide parts for the tractors any more, so people like Don hand fabricate and substitute parts from other tractors or auto parts. I have such an appreciation for rugged machines like this and the people who have a passion for restoring them.
Those tractors were built by Roper. I have a 79 Roper and a 79 Sears. Identical tractors both with Onan 18 hp engines. I've been using the Roper here in Michigan since 1986 for mowing and plowing snow. Still runs great. Bought the Sears a few years ago and just bought a rear rototiller last year.
That's awesome, good to hear there's people out there with these tractors still running and running good. A well made rugged machine and an owner like you, who takes care of their machine, is a testament to how long a machine or tool can last. Thanks for watch'n and keep up the hard work.
Wow you had it all that time and just got the roto tiller now how come it took you so long how did you like it do you still have/use it?
I've always wanted a restored GT18 or SS16. They're nice looking tractors. I have several Sears tractors, one restored. Maybe someday I'll get one of those lol
I might have one to sell you when you are ready, LOL, but seriously I have few. If you find yourself in desperate need reach out to me. Thanks for watching.
Great video. If still available I am interested in purchasing a Sears GT. I live in Northern California. Hope to here from you soon. Thanks
Justin Ramsour No problem, i can find out if the owner has more to sale still. Il get back to you soon ! Thanks for watching!
Justin Ramsour Hi justin, I spoke with the owner and he still has tractors for sale. Please email me at info@workndirt.com And I’ll give you his contact number. Thank you. Don’t forget to leave your name in the email so I know it’s you
Does that guy still have the first 2 sears lawn mower very interested
@@anthonywillett5517 i think he got rid of them due to health reasons but i will check.
i have still have two 19.9 suburbans that i bought from him if you are interested? i also have to 12hp tractors too
Hello. Pretty neat video. I have a 78 I think it is, GT 19.9 I bought a few years ago. It has the set up for the electric rear lift, though it is missing the cylinder part. It ran when I got it, but it has been sitting. I think there was a charging issue with it, and I know the tube from the air filter housing to the carb has a tear in it, and I didn't want to run dirt through it by running it.
In your video you said that gentleman restores these tractors.... I am wondering if he would be interested in restoring this one for me? I of course have money, or we could work out a trade for other tractors I have. I have several Bolens tractors and Some more Sears tractors, but nothing as large as the one I would like to get restored.
Please let me know. Thank you, Wade.
Hi Wade, the guy who restores no longer can due to health reasons unfortunately.. charging issue can be the rectifier or even a bad ignition switch in my case!
Is he also a possible source for parts ? I have a 12 hp that needs a ignition.
yes i bought a new ignition from the "stens store " on amazon, my part number was 430-249
What state are y’all in?
nextjin We are in California, thanks for watch’n !
