early 50's Burns Garden Tractor

Dean sr · Aug 22, 2011

What is this tractor worth as it sits with these three attachments: a plow, mowerdeck, and wheel weights. Motor has no spark but a coil will fix it. Willing to sell it as is. It is possibly a '51. Tractor is rare. Reasonable offers only.

looks awfully modern for a 1951. bill

Kinda hate to say this but it's too squared off to be an early 50's. Every brand of early 50's GT I've ever seen is very rounded.

Complete, thats the one we had when I was a kid.

The tread on those rear tires tell me they are from about 68 up into about mid 70's, tread looks the same as was on my 1971 Sears tractor. 50's they did not have that kind of tread.

I agree, it looks too modern to be a '51, But that would not necessarily make it any less collectible. I had never heard of a Burns garden tractor.

Another tell tale is the steering wheel. Almost all tractors of the eary 50's to include GT's has setel spoke steering wheels. Molded spokes didn't show up until the very late 50's on most of them.

Where is the tractor located?
I would guess it to be in the 60's for the year
