dude your plowing all wrong..you roll the dirt towards the part you just plowed, not away from it. doing it that way your doing it you leave a gap of unplowed ground.
yup, i got the sears st 10 model and there a workhorse, you cant kill em. i got mine for free cause the motor was bad, so i just got another old 10 hp to match and it runs great mines reall slow cause the pulleys not the right size but i sure would win at tug of war! think you could make another video of it??
Great Video Beautiful Job that Old Dog Does....Just incredible how much better built the Older lawn tractors were. I have a Sears SS16 I hope to Plow with this Spring. After seeing you're video, I'm realy looking foward to it.
i got the same tractor same color and assuming the same yr. but mines not running and it has a bad piston rod and its got a snowplow and wheel weights and its a bit rusty and beat up and its covered in stuff from sittin in a barn for 15yrs now or more but the metal looks pretty good on it. and seems to only be surface rust
@handclamp my cub 125 is the same way, the hydrostatic transmission will dig you into the ground before it lets go, and as for 12 HP, so's mine, the way it's geared makes the difference, Torque, not speed.
hey super nice tractor! one thing -- if I may -- plowing with a bottom plow (like you have on your ss12) is best done by going right to left.. after the first row, go back to the beginning of the row, put your front wheel in the rut and let the furrow fall over into the rut. rinse wash & repeat. :o)
I just sold an all original 1975 SS15 in very good condition for $200...Those things are rock solid.

It doesn't take a "BIG" engine to work a field. I used an 8hp rear engine rider last winter to push snow. It's all in the horses.

@januaryman169 is it true that the 60s garden tractors can out pull a 18hp today because of the way gear ratio is set up.
