Gday all im new to the forum. I got given the old rancher from a mate, its been sitting for 15yrs beside a boat shed at cambells cove vic. I put a new plug n fuel in and a new o-ring in fuel tap and the battery from my old greenfield tractor 11-30 MK 2, the rancher fired strait up. Everything seems run, drives n goes like it should.

I know she's an old girl, but have no idea of age. My guess is 70's. I'll get a tube tomorrow for the wheel. I'm not going to repaint as I've lightly sanded it and I'll put a matt clear coat to maintain the patina look. I'll degrease everything, give it a good run checking for any oil leaks
