thanks to all who welcomed me aboard. the serf series was produce in thee late 60's through the early 70's. there were/are quite possibly the smallest true garden tractor ever produced. they built a full line of attachments for them, all unique to this tractor in size. it is powered by a 5hp B/S "big block" , which is taller than a normal 5 horse, although it is still an aluminum engine. some of the more rare ones' had electric start and headlights. seeing as how these are so small, i suspect most of them ended up in the junk pile. they are very tough to locate, and i have seen very little of them in the last 2 years. i am ALWAYS looking for tractors and attachments, and will pay a cash finders fee to anyone leading me to these tractors or attachments for them. thanks again to all, this is a great site for the user and collector alike!

I have some LT parts but no serf parts. I had a chance to buy one but 125 was to steap for me. the engines remind me of the old style push mower or tiller engines. I got a Yeoman I restored, a 728 Broadmoor, 738 Broadmoor, both needrestored, and an all orginal 707 Broadmoor. Have 2 ACs i need to redo. and couple parts Simplicitys. PM me i might have something u need
