I picked this up this weekend for 75.00 at our machinery club sale, it starts and runs, great tires and doesnt look to bad, not original motor, has a recoil start 6 hp b/s i think, were these made by David Bradley for Sears ? any value to this tractor? im thinking of shoving a 10 hp b/s i have on it for doing chores around here, any offers ? LOL

i love the look of that old school plow/dozer assembly

Only problem is its a weak set up, it mounts on the front axle, and while i tried plowing some mulch around the axle flexes alot, gotta think of a better mounting system without over engineering,

I think those were made by Roper....atleast the later ones were.

That's a Tecumseh engine, Tom. Probably an HH-60 - and original for that tractor. (it would have Sears numbers on the tag though)
Before you toss it in favor of the Briggs, give it a try. I had a similar Sears a few years ago and it did an excellent job with the 6hp engine.

as TT stated, its a tecumseh and probably the original engine you would be better off to leave it as original i have several sears tractors aswell as my horses and other brands

Thanks for the advice and info, Im gonna keep it the way it is, I got another one for free thats missing the motor and front hood assembly, i think i will throw the briggs on that and try it, thanks again,,Tom
