[Lauber1]

[quote name='Lauber1']Ok , I'll nominate my 1937 Sears Handiman. This tractor its self is one of my favorites, and carrys the following attachments on board at all times. 1) front counter weight..2) Triple wide steel wheels..3) a drag harrow on its tool bar..4) a riding sulky. The tractor weighs 1065# and is powered by a model K Briggs. It has both a forward clutch and a reverse clutch lever, along with in a few bent tool bar hangers and rods.

I've owned it for 12yrs, bought it as a pile , at a local auction, fired it up and drove it up on to the

We made a video of it also. This is the first one we did outside, and go figure the tractor didnt want to start, after going first pull in the shed sitting a yr.

Come on I have 4 738's and love to see other peoples. I try not to restore them, because I like the "used" look

I'm going only as a spectator on this months contest and it is going to be a challenge to just pick one !

If the weather cooperates I'll post some pics in the morning unless it's closed by then, if for no other reason than some said they have never seen a Simplicity 738.

Ron,
If you want to post your nomination today and then add the pics tomorrow that is fine. Would like to close the nominations later tonight and then I can start the voting thread tomorrow night. When you add the pics just edit your post to add them to it then.
