I bought this tractor from Dan Lonon (Rokon 2813 back in May of 2004.http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=32245&SearchTerms=HB-112I have used this as one of my main work tractor ever since. It is in good mechanical condition but since I mow with it and do some other work with it I have never did a restoration. It does have a 16 HP Briggs in it.Here are a couple of pictures that I took tonight after I mowed.

I took a couple pics of my 64 Landlord today while mowingI picked up this tractor this past spring with the intentions of redoing a few things on it to make it a little nice,but all I did was get a new hood for it.I had no intentions to use this to mow with but Its the nicest cutting tractor I got.Only problem is everytime I get a different mower I get a older one.I should be getting newer stuff but Hey You cant beat the 50 yr old stripes
