Good news, guys. The name Wheel Horse and the logo will live on, with new Wheel Horses tractors and implements being built. MTD has purchased the Wheel Horse name and logo from Toro, and will start building new equipment with the famed Wheel Horse name and logo. Ridney Dongerfield, a spokesman for MTD, said, "Wheel Horse never got the respect. MTD is proud to announce that Wheel Horse will be joining our line of garden equipment, joining names like Troy Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Bolens." The new Wheel Horses will be built using MTD's reputation for quality products and is expected to look similar to a Yardman, but with the famed Wheel Horse logo, name and color scheme. Prices to be similar to a new Cub Cadet, with several models being planned. Models will include tractors with various deck sizes, engine sizes and features. Expect new tractors to start appearing February 30 of next year.

A bit of a shocker for sure. I can remember when Duke was VERY active on the forum. I pray his family is comforted during this time. Regardless of what his health was, this was way too soon!

April fools

Jim thanks for starting this post. I like looking at all the members being there.

What kinds of trade items are you looking for? I don't have the inventory I once had, but you never know. And I'm about an hour's drive away from you. I don't have that type Sundstrand either, but I'll take it if you need rid of it.

Absolutely beautiful machines, and a little grease will just earn you a pass from Pete!

Ha Ha, I'm glad that terrible mess was taken care of. The poor seat needs some love. On a positive note, I like how high your blade lifts on the 418. My 520HC does not go that high before it contacts the tractor (where abouts I can't remember right now).

lol I appreciate that. I was contemplating buying another one for my 73 WH because it needs a new seat bad but I don’t wanna drill new hole in the fender, I was also thinking of using the U-shaped seat spring mounts which should bolt up, and making a cross bar and bolting a ford 8N seat to it because I like the red and white seat covers available for them. Just haven’t decided yet.

Haha not this one! Too many tractors right now.

Today I put the 417-A with blower away for the year, so I had to move some tractors around. Figured I’d snap a few pics, couldn’t wait for side shot Saturday to post 😂 Sorry for the grease on the front wheel of the 418-C I removed it immediately after I took the picture 😂 I figured I’d say that before one of you wise guys said something about it!!

Sorry to change the subject, but does anyone know anything about the gentleman to my left circled in blue? His name is Tom Dunne, he used to be a the big show every year. He drove up from Florida, I think by himself. Super, super nice guy. I always enjoyed chatting with him and I’d just like to know if he’s okay? I haven’t seen him at the show in a while.

Definitely has more traction than the right wheel I had on it.

They finally caught it. It's all safe & sound. I ever mention that I can't eat kangaroo meat? It makes me jumpy

@WHX?? @Achto I heard you guys had a kangaroo sighting this last week.

Since they are all simple black iron pipe components that are readily available, why not just go with new pieces??

You didn't need no stinkin' harness in 1924. The world was a much safer place back then.
