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

Your Rancher appears to be in good condition, considering it's been asleep for 15 years. I'm sure if get any issues with it, someone here will be able to assist you...
