I bought a '74 Sears SS16 last year. Alot of steel, not stamped and needs alot of work. Plan on a 20-22hp and using it for snowblowing around the cabin. Manure spreading. Maybe even build a cab for it. My grandmother had one just like it so brings back a few memories.
 
Ended up putting an 18 HP on the old garden tractor.
We've used this 51 yo tractor all summer dragging firewood, trailers, grandkids all over.
Amazing how much it gets used and handles alot of mediocre task so the larger Kubota doesn't have to!

I mowed a lot of grass with one of those in my childhood years. Ours had the mower deck with 3 blades and a 12hp engine on it.
