What's In Your Mirror?

Nice Geno!!

1960 Suburban with "custom" woops the original owner forgot to add oil after a change, Briggs motor. Looking for original K91 or HH55 for this one as well as a belt guard and exhaust shield. I am scheduled to have a week or so off coming up, so perhaps this and the 12 can get some well deserved attention. I knew I would fall in love with one of these little guys if I ever

Yeah I went ahead and took it simply because of the new Carlisle tires all the way around, the lack of rust, and the fact that it's just a neat little piece that I didn't have to drive 10 hours for. It's so hard to find anything to just go and pick up locally...this one doesn't bother me to have mismatched parts. Contrary to some of my other interests, this one is just to putt around the yard and nothing more. Never plan to have any attachments for it or anything, just enjoy having one for the first time. I actually got the current Briggs motor running with a few minutes of tinkering, and the custom toggle switch on the hood even works. The fuel tank is rusty inside and can't be original, but I have an OEM tank that is near mint. The filter was clogged on the tractor, so I bypassed and put a go kart tank on it and ran it for about 15 minutes before I had to hit the road. My son and father love the thing, although baby girl doesn't respond to it as she does the 12. Oh well...as we discussed, this isn't for her at all. I'll likely enjoy looking at it for a while, then part ways with it for something else.
