I got a suburban ten free from a lady that ended up with it after a divorce. She didn’t know what to do with it or if it even ran. Had some surface rust and flat tires. It came with a trailer and mower deck. I cleaned the carb, put in new gas, aired up the tires and it fired right up. I’ve had it about ten years and use it every spring to mow weeds on my property. When I got it I didn’t realize they were so popular, I’m sure the lady I got it from didn’t realize what she had either.
Awesome score my friend! Those are my absolute favorite Sears as well, can’t wait to see it firing up for the first time in many moons lol excellent update James!
Cranky MotorSports i have a 06 craftsman 6 speed 42inch cut single cyclinder briggs 20 horse power i love that tractor even came with a bagger cant wait to see you mowing with that old sears get it running please awesome video
Those 69 Suburban 12s are my favorite by far! That one is in really nice shape. I actually have an original Sears battery from the early 70s. I will have to show it in my next vid, really interesting looking battery back then

They’re popular among some groups. Not as collected as wheel horse or John Deere, but that’s ok with me- it keeps Sears relatively cheap
Trailer looks great when loaded with Suburbans
Thanks oh fearless leader, that’s why I bought it :)
Just got myself a 10xl with the plow really heavy duty already used to clear some land now need to get a three point for it
3 points are super useful
that seat cover is great. I have never seen one in real lift, just pictures. All mine just have seat pans.
I took the original seat off, hung it on the wall so it won’t get ruined

I’m betting gas and a battery and it runs

It’s running in some newer videos
I just acquired a very similar rolling chassis. Looks like a long project amongst many
Nice score.

Didn’t it have six caps on the original?
Wow that’s awesome find I’m looking for one or more parts for the one I’ve got recently
What are your looking for?

My wife is ok with all mine as long as I keep them in the sheds.
Sweet
