    The winter duty tractors had their normal maintenance this year. I even spent some time going over things AFTER procrastinating to have everything in working order so I didn't have to do anything when it gets cold. Well so much for that! We got a couple inches of snow, ice and a little rain mixed in last week but I wasn't worried. BUT, then found out quickly where the weak spots were on my equipment. First thing to go wrong was the belt shredded on the 2 stage blower. No big deal since I had a spare. After changing the belt, 30 seconds later the chain from the gear box to the shaft came off. ( this could've also been the cause for the belt shredding) The master link's clip must have came off because that's where it let go. No big deal I thought because the little 654 plow tractor was ready to go. At least that's what I thought until the battery died trying to start it. Engine starts right up within a few revolutions WHEN IT"S WARM OUT so I thought nothing about the battery condition. Turns out that battery is crap in the cold. So then I used a jump box to get her going and less then 2 minutes later, the spring for the lift handle button broke. So now it was a PITA because I had to hold the weight of the plow when needed, not to mention there's quite a bit of extra weight added on it. No big deal I thought since it wouldn't take too long to get it done anyway and then while pushing a heavy pile, it spun a rear tire off the rim bead. Tire must've had a slow leak and I didn't notice it was flat since these little tractors don't have enough weight to flatten the bottom of a 4 ply tire. Oh well, I'll just use the walk behind blower. Less then 2 minutes of using that, the cable for the auger engage handle broke! Did a quick temp fix with some wire just so I could finish up. Needless to say I must've looked like a monkey screwing a football out there! Kind of funny now but it wasn't while it was happening! Anyway, I had to spend the day out in the cold getting all my crap together even though we had spring like temps until last week. New #40 chain and new Kevlar belt for the 2 stage. Resurfaced the PTO bell and clutch plate while I was at it too. Sealed the beads on both rear tires, replaced the broken lift handle spring and a new battery for the 654. Ordered a new auger control cable for the Toro walk behind.

    so I finally figured out how to get pics from my phone to my puter to photobucket,so heres a few pics of my new to me 1976 c 160 8 speed.i got her in the early summer,left it at my friends for a few months,just too busy to even tinker with her until the holidays,so I finally got time to put a new battery,new fuel lines,spark plug,tranny flush,oil change,new head gasket so I decarboned her,rear axle seals,front tires and painted the front rims,replaced all the lighting system,even new sockets,shes painted black but its growing on me,i will restore her as she is in real nice shape,tight steering,all body panels are good,but that wont be for a few years,im happy to get this machine to go with my c 160 auto,which I might leave original,both tractors are mechanically perfect,every thing works as should,but the 8 speed will need to be red one day,heres the pics

    Hi everyone! I have my grandfather's Wheel Horse from the early 1960s. We think it's a 702 (he put the 702 graphics on it as a best guess), but aren't really sure. It has a 7hp Kohler 161, 3-speed with reverse, and a round top. I am hoping to identify the true model and year. My husband, with the help of friends, got it running and refurbished as much as they knew as a gift to me for Christmas. I am hoping this knowledgeable group can help us the rest of the way. I can add more pictures. I just dont have them on me right now. Thank you in advance for any help you can give. Happy New Year! It has an electric start as well.

    Thank you gentlemen for the dating the old Stallion. The old Horse we used mowin', pushing snow, plowing the earth. The Ms. did a lot of mowing when I was at work and the children were in school. The rear discharge mower made the Parker (or Jackson) sweeper's job easier. Nowadays the grandsons are infected with Horse disease. Can't keep 'em out of The Barn. The grandsons love snow. They have the Horse addiction real bad!

    I have tears in my eyes from laughing. The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban, I mean Khan was just on TV the other afternoon. We watched it at camp while playing cards! Remember that my Mother's Horizon is driven at least twice a month and she has averaged about 500 miles a year in it since 1994 when my father passed away. Each year that mileage average goes down. Way down! I will do everything in my power to keep it passing inspections and road worthy for her. Even in a small car, all you see is the top of her head and 8 knuckles on the steering wheel when she is driving it! I wouldn't have it any other way! Oh and I know three of us lost years off our life rebuilding that damn carburetor! Thanks for the comments you guys! I know when she drives it to Walmart, people walk up to her in the parking lot and tell her how they used to own one. Or two! That was the only vehicle my father ever bought new. (And he was the head bodyman at a Chevy dealer). Go figure!

    I agree that the footrests are what a 701 came with...but also the flat faced drivebelt guard is what a 701 used. The indent for the model# decal wasn't introduced till 1962. How about a pic of the engine? Does it have one belt from the starter/gen or two belts? Mike..........

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Here's a tip, if you haven't figured this out yet, use post-it notes around a wheel to keep paint off the tires. Simple, cheap, and a TON easier than using any type of expensive masking tape!! Some guys use 3x5 cards, but their expensive, and hard to reuse. You can get post-it pads 3/$1 at Dollar General, and one pad will do a couple small wheels, or one large wheel.

    You guys that stick with your spouse or partner through thick and thin have the utmost respect from me. I have never been through what some of you deal with on a daily basis, but i can tell you I love my wife very much and i hope and pray that i would always have enough guts and glory to be there for her if something ever did happen. I know that she would be there for me if it was reversed. I whole heartedly agree with Mike about the caring for in sickness and in health, its what we all signed up for when the vows were exchanged. Prayers go out to all of you........

    That serial number fits right in with Gerry's collection...it is a 701...check this out. Personally, I still want to know about those drain and fill plugs on the trans...please. The fill plug is on the left side of the trans by the axle, the drain plug is on the bottom toward the back. Looking at the manual, it shows a square seat and cushion for the 701, and the round seat with 13 holes on the 401. Thinking you may have had a choice. I don't know. http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/5170-tractor-1961-serial-numbers/

    Thank you everyone for your support , encouragement and prayers . We never know what life is going to bring us tomorrow. Richard pretty much describes my feelings about this in a very simple sentence "Many of us have been care givers and and know how frustrating it can be to do all that you can, knowing it will never be enough".

    Good call Sparky, I saw the lack of indent on the guard...so we need some more pictures. One of the front axle, one of the engine and starter where the fan belts are. If you really want to go for it...to see if it is a 701 or a 702...check out the fill and drain plugs on the transmission. See if the are the same thread size or not. If one is a 1/4" pipe thread and the other is a 3/8", that is a 701 transmission (if original).......if they are both 3/8' pipe thread, that is a 702 transmission (if original). OH OH, look at that serial number...that is not from a 702. Check those trans plugs if you would, and pics of the front axle, and the fan belt thingy. That should do it. Hey sparky, did the 701 have the square seat pan??
  26. 2 points
    I'm thinking like Steve. It is a 702. As he mentioned the footrests are 1961 but that was a common swap. The 701 didn't have slots in the hood. The 702 did as yours does but, of course the hoods are interchangable. The 63's still used the one piece tank but the front axle was different. We can't see that. That number would confirm things but if you have the correct front axle I'd say that's enough evidence.

    It sure looks like a 702 to me. One piece gas tank, square seat pan, correct engine, gas cap, muffler, shifter all look right. The foot rests are not correct though, those are from a couple year earlier horse. The correct ones have a "D" shape. That is a very nice 702. The serial number would be on the top of the tower under the dash plate. Should be like 62-XXXX. Knurled. thumb screws (3) would be what fastens the hood to the tractor, if you are really looking for that Round Hood look. BTW...WELCOME TO RED SQUARE. This is a 502, but it is the best picture I had of the "D" foot rests...

    I just had the mail man drop off my chains , I ordered them on Friday afternoon / evening wow talk about fast. They came in a priority mail box and inside that they are in a cotton bag. I thought I would show you a picture of the chain. Tomorrow I will put them on the horse. Today I had to change out a drive belt lots of fun with the blower cab on the tractor. The first photo is a little blurry but you can get the idea ok I suspect. They are very heavy and seem as well built as any chain I have ever used. Time will tell I guess.

    January 1 and I needed to swap the snowplow on two tractors. The 520xi was used last Winter (along with the 523Dxi and C-105) with the plow so I decided to use the 518xi this Winter. I hadn't used it since Fall 2014 after breaking my ankle last June. It amazed me that it just needed a little coaxing after sitting for a year to start. After changing the oil and filter, I ran around the yards to basically mulch the remaining leaves. Tomorrow I'll swap the deck for the plow. Who would think to do this on the First of the New Year!

    You know what upset me more then any of the scores of the games?? The jerk from ESPN with the crew cut that came on after the MSU / Alabama game and just had to say how the black mark was on the Big Ten after that loss. These guys are so biased and full of BS it is not funny. They have been looking for a way to step on the Big Ten, the ACC, the Big 12 and the Pac 12 for a long time. I'm surprised they are not located in Mobile, Al. Sure, MSU got their clock cleaned...and everyone in the Big Ten will tell you that MSU may not have been the best team in the conference. I think Ohio St. is still the best team in the conference, and Alabama is lucky to have not had to play them. They did not show up for the game they needed to, and OSU payed the price. I still think the Big Ten is the best conference Top to Bottom...the Pac 12 and the SEC...would not want to live on the difference...and how about the ACC?? Good for them. Go Clemson. One more rant...........Brent Mussburger (sp) for the play by play for the Rose Bowl...OMG...I will be watching the Rose bowl game with the mute on. This guy is related to Joe buck.

    My highschool girlfriends parents had a Horizon which I snickered at as it was never running properly. When asked "Well what kind of car do I have" I told them I drove a '76 vette. That kept them quiet for a few weeks until they saw the '76 Chevette. Thats when they began to like me!!!!! Lol

Turning radius (to outside wheel)..................................................6' Wheel Horse pioneers Elmer and Cecil Pond realized the benefits of marketing early and capitalized on the publicity brought to their home region by the world famous Indianapolis 500 race. Beginning in 1961, Wheel Horse loaned approximately 40 new tractors to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for use by race teams to tow their cars around the pits for the testing and racing activities during the month of May. A promotion dubbed the Indy 2 ½ was even created as the kickoff event, where the tractors were paraded from flagship distributor Radio Equipment Co. in Indianapolis to the speedway and then raced one lap around the famed 2.5 mile Brickyard piloted by dealers and other local media personalities. The publicity stunt was a huge success for Wheel Horse, and later advertising would tout Wheel Horse tractors as The Official Work Horse of the “500.” The promotional value of the Indy 500 reached new heights in 1968 when Wheel Horse came out with a new model, the “500” Special. This tractor was a no frills model, powered by a basic 6 hp recoil-start Tecumseh H60 engine backed by the standard 3-speed Uni-Drive transmission. What the “500” Special lacked in power, it made up for in looks with racing stripe decals on the hood and checkered flag decals on either side of the dash tower. Similar to previous Wheel Horse “Special” models, production of the “500” Special utilized different leftover parts which created some variances on the assembly line. Common known variances include the use of at least two different styles of hoods, mufflers, dash panels, steering wheels, seats, fender pans and checkered flag decals. Sale ads from May 1968 offer $200 off the “500” Special tractors, which were listed at a sale price of $529.95 and were advertised with a 32” rotary mower included. The "500" Special differed very little from the Commando 6 offered that same year, except the Commando 6 had an electric starter and did not feature the extra racing inspired decals. Much of what is known about these tractors is merely conjecture, as factory records were limited and were never formally released to the public. Based on known serial numbers it seems that there were at least 5 or 6 production runs of these tractors; however, the total production number for this model is unknown. One common belief is that these tractors were primarily sold at dealerships in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio (presumably due to their close proximity to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway); however, a few collectors have reported these tractors being sold new in other states as well. Since the tractors were relatively plain aside from the racing inspired graphics, it is believed that they did not sell as well as intended by the company. Several collectors have found “500” Special models equipped with electric starters or even 8 hp Kohler replacement engines believed to have been modified or upgraded by individual dealers to help sell the tractors when they were new. While the “500” Special models proudly represented the manufacturer’s racing ties, these tractors were never actually used for the big race. The larger 10 hp hydrostatic drive Charger 10 model, equipped with extra racing decals similar to those found on the “500” Special, was the tractor chosen by Wheel Horse to be utilized by teams at the 1968 Indy 500. There has been at least one seemingly staged press photo that has surfaced showing a "500" Special towing a race car at the speedway. The “500” Special was replaced in 1969 by the Work Horse 700 model, which featured a very similar decal package and was upgraded to a 7 hp electric start Tecumseh H70 engine to help boost sales. This is one of the only known photos to show a "500" Special at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Print ads for the "500" Special carried a racing theme to conjure up excitement for the new model. Advertised sale prices averaged $529.95, but were as high as $599.95 (with electric start) and as low as $404.95 on clearance. A fully restored "500" Special with 32" rotary mower on display at the 2015 WHCC Show. The following photos are to show variances in some of the parts used in construction of the "500" Special models. No confirmed pattern for the use of any of the following parts during the various assembly runs has yet been identified. Photos of original tractors and the Owners Manual were referenced in putting together this list of variances. In the absence of the original parts for comparison, anyone restoring a "500" Special could theoretically choose from their preference of parts pictured below and construct a correct original appearing tractor. HOOD Hood (Part # 7231) with Escutcheon Plate (Part # 7416) Hood (Part # 5465) with Grille Decal (Part # 6998) The most obvious difference in these two hoods is the number of horizontal openings in the grille. The first has 6 rows of openings and has a large rectangular opening filled with a escutcheon plate at the top, while the second hood has 7 rows of openings and a thin decal. The tractor pictured on the cover of the owner's manual shows the first style of hood with the escutcheon plate. It has previously been suggested on this forum that the second style hood with the decal was used in the later production run. Of the original tractors referenced, the hoods with the escutcheon plates seem to be more commonly used on the "500" Special tractors. As of 2015 the escutcheon plates were still available through Toro dealers. EXHAUST Muffler (Part # 7628) with Deflector (Part # 7843) Muffler (Part # 1739), Elbow (Part # 1755), Nipple (Part # 943358-4), Locknut (Part # 1756) and Brace The tractor pictured on the cover of the owner's manual shows the first rectangular shaped muffler with a deflector. Other similar variations of the second style of exhaust do not include the brace, which seems to be a relatively harder piece to find. Of the original tractors referenced, it seems as if the first rectangular style muffler is slightly more common over the shower head muffler style exhaust systems. Both types of mufflers are still readily available on the aftermarket. DECALS Racing Flag Decal with "6" (Part # 8379) Racing Flag Decal without "6" (Part # 8379) It is unknown exactly why there were two nearly identical versions of this decal made, the only difference being that one bears the number "6" indicative of the tractor's horsepower rating. Of the original tractors referenced, it seems the the majority have decals with the "6" present. The alternate versions with just the racing flags have also been spotted on the Charger 10 tractors that were outfitted for duty at the 1968 Indianapolis 500; however, for this application they were placed on the bottom front of the grille and on the backside of the seat. Another interesting fact is that the "500" Special trim decals on each side of the hood (Part # 8376) were originally rectangular and could be applied to either side of the tractor. The rectangular shape allowed for a little variance in the placement, most likely for the sake of increasing application speed on the production line. Once applied an assembly line worker would then trim the decals along the front edge of the hood to give them the beveled shape. Reproduction decals are readily available and can be had in either configuration. DASH PANEL Dash Panel (Part # 5453) Dash Panel (Part # 7379) with Shift Pattern Decal (Part #7883) Though not pictured in the owner's manual, the parts number listed is for the first style of dash panel pictured. This style dash panel used two round hole plugs for the absent lighter and generator accessories. It also contained a diagram of the transmission shift pattern printed directly on the panel. The second style dash panel used one round hole plug for the lighter and a rectangular plug to fill the light switch hole. This style dash did not have the shift pattern printed on it, so tractors with this part also had a shift pattern decal applied to the console (partially obstructed, but visible in the reference photo). Of the original tractors referenced, the majority had the first style dash panel with two round hole plugs. Reproduction decals for restoring either style dash plate are readily available, and the chrome hole plugs can often be found at hardware stores near the bins of loose fasteners. STEERING WHEEL Steering Wheel (Part # 4983), Insert (Part # 2897) and Decal (Part # 7421) Steering Wheel (Part # 7420), Insert (Part # 7469) and Decal (Part # 7421) The first style steering wheel is easily identified by its three thin angular spokes. These steering wheels were only used on the 1968 Commando 6, Commando 8, "500" Special, and the 1969 Workhorse 700 models. Due to their thin spokes, these steering wheels seemed prone to cracking or warping. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find one of these steering wheels in good condition. The second style steering wheel is characterized by its three straight tapered spokes and was more commonly used among Wheel Horse tractors during the late 1960s. The tractor pictured on the cover of the owner's manual shows the second style of steering wheel; however, the part number given in the manual corresponds to the first style of steering wheel. Of the original tractors referenced, it seems as if the first style of steering wheel pictured is slightly more common than the second steering wheel pictured. Reproduction steering wheel inserts and decals are readily available. SEAT Fiberglass Pan Seat (Part # 7070) Three-Piece Seat (Part # 7018, 7019, 7020) The first seat bolts to the fender pan with four studs that extend out of the bottom of the fiberglass pan. Over time and exposure to the elements, these seats were very prone to cracking or having the vinyl damaged, thus making them very rare to find in good condition. The second style seat fastens to the fender pan with only two studs that extend from the metal seat base. While more rugged and able to survive the test of time somewhat better, these seats also have their wear points. Perhaps the most common area of wear includes the top edge of the back seat cushion. These seats are also becoming harder to find in good condition. The tractor pictured on the cover of the owner's manual shows the fiberglass pan style seat and lists the same part number as well. Of the original tractors referenced, there is a nearly even split of the use of each of the two styles of seats. Reproduction seat covers have been produced for the three piece style seat, although they do no include the embossed Wheel Horse logo. FENDER PAN Fender Pan (Part # 7444) Fender Pan (Part # 5661) The difference in the two fender pans is the presence of holes drilled in the rear of the pan to accommodate a light. The first style shown has three holes where a light would be added if the tractor was so equipped. The second style does not have these three holes drilled and was likely left over from earlier production runs before the rear light was an option. It is unknown which fender pan is pictured on the tractor in the owner's manual; however, it provides the part number for the first style of fender pan. Of the original tractors referenced, it seems that the vast majority have the first style fender pan with the rear light mounting holes present. ENGINE While there should not be any significant variances in the engines used for these tractors by the factory, non-original engines may have been installed to help boost sales of the tractor by the dealerships or to replace a blown motor later in the tractor's life. The correct Tecumseh engine model number used on the "500" Special models is H60-75118H. Since these engines were recoil start only, they should not have holes drilled into the block to mount a starter. This recoil start H60 engine is photographed to show the two starter mounting pedestals that remain untouched (if there was a starter there would be two holes drilled in each of the horizontal mounting pedestals to bolt the starter to the block). The owner's manual also shows the presence of a rear mounted "L" shaped oil drain pipe that would extend outward from the location where the drain plug is pictured, allowing oil to drain out over the right side of the frame when uncapped. Finding a recoil start H60 engine without the starter mounting holes seems to be more difficult than finding one equipped with an electric starter. View full wiki

    The electric starter looks like a Kohler to me, and the flywheel screen is bigger than the 8hp ones so its a Kohler 10 - 16 hp machine. The decal on the hood looks like a Charger/Electro type of decal but the pic is so small I cant be sure. Its a hydro with manual lift also. That's all I can find for clues...time for the experts to chime in. I love a good mystery!! Mike..........

    The easiest (not so easy)would be to find an H55 from a 551. it will fit in its designated spot without modifications. You would only have to make provisions for the battery if your does not have it and redo all of the wiring.Belt guard stays the same. Aside from that one , I think anything else is going to take a bit of work such as re drilling the frame , coming up with the right size belt, and perhaps a new belt guard. If you are lucky to find the K91S it will fit doing basically what I just described above. Very critical to achieve correct location so you do not have to modify gear shift lever. Jeff did some very nice and clever work on his with the shift lever and hiding all the electrical components. On mine I was able to leave all engine components on engine by merely moving things around a little.I wanted it only to be reliable and easy to do without too many modifications. You can definitely convert yours to a battery ignition using a starter generator. Not too much to it and a lot easier than finding the costly and elusive K91S. I am however very partial to a K91S. Sometimes it just seems all you need to do is to think "start". It always fires immediately, it barely turns over.

    Bob you should be a happy Irish fan. They've had a great season. I worried all the way through the game because they kept getting back in it till the late fourth quarter. They will be back and stronger next year no doubt. Oh yea, I never expected a blow out like that in the Rose Bowl.

    most any cheap electric start 5.5 or 6.5hp clone motor should fit with not much work i have a suburban with a harbor freight 212 and a RJ with a Briggs 205cc and they fit using the same mounting holes neither are electric start but are very easy to pull start but i am pretty sure you can get a electric start model but it will cost a premium almost double the cost of a pull start if i had to guess I just checked ebay and their is a 6.5hp clone engine with electric start for 179.00 with free shipping. Thats cheaper then i thought they would be but still 79$ more for electric stsrt

    Nice Wheel Horse. If that's original I would leave it. Only like that one time!! Just my 2 cents!!

    I need to do that too, best of my recollection I have a nice work bench and a concrete floor; just haven't seen them lately!

    I found my hood bracket and did a little mock up. Like everything on this project I will need to do a little repair to mount it properly. After removing a bunch of stuff that wasn't mine. Now the kids have that worry. Lol I found my work bench too.

    If worse comes to worse, Wheel Horse frames are simple angle iron construction so repair should be easy for anyone with a welder. Cleat
