You certainly won't have to worry about anyone else having four 754's there, will you Jerry? :thumbs::thumbs:

I can't wait to see them all there together. :D

There's a long and short story to them (and I've heard 2 different stories all together), Mike, and since there isn't much room here I'll try for the short version.

As "legend" has it, Wheel Horse was readying a production run of 854 tractors, but the K-181 Kohler engines had not arrived yet. They threw some of the "left-over" K-161's from the 753 models on the tractor, stickered them as a "754" and sold about 421 of them.

Wheel Horse never recognized them as an "official" production model. and there are no manuals or literature that list even them. (including the Toro MPV)

I'll second that as the story I have been told too TT.

Jerry I knew you had 2 of them...did not know you owned 4...wow!

Thats some scrounging to find four of that rare model.

Jerry will you be bringing the Yellow one from Wapakoneta to the show also? :thumbs:
