Pick Up Very Hard To Find Wheel Horse 420LSE Today!

That looks like some rust through, so it won't be cheap or easy to fix. Too bad there are no NOS chrome rims available, they might be cheaper than a repair/rechrome job. Was there fluid in the tires that caused the rust through?

I have a decent connect on the chrome job probably be the power coat chrome. The fluids tend to cause rims rust out in my opinion and experience.

i think i would find another set of 8.5x12 rims and have them chromed and keep the originals and clean up the best possible. would you be able to get the original smooth or would it show up as an imperfection when rechromed

yea that's a tuff decision on a tractor like that. i normally put ags on all of my tractors but a 420 lse would never see anything more then parade duties so i might have to go with original style turf tires. but it's your tractor and you can do what ever you like with it

Congrats on your newest addition !

With all the interest shown on the 420 LSE I'm really amazed that I did not get a SINGLE inquiry/response when I listed mine (#51)  some time ago here on RED SQUARE and also on e-bay.

Just think of all the trouble/work/sweat that could be eliminated by buying my 420LSE !!!!! (See POST # 38 for Pic.)

Maybe you could surprise your wife on Valentines day with a nice RED gift ????

But that takes the fun out of it detailing her and making her look nice again.

The Wheel horse 420lse cleanup nicely with a nice cold spring day wash. I'm going to have to do a little painting to it ethier way. I hate to do that I wanted to keep it bone stock like a survivor style. The main painting will just be frame,rear end and battery box area. Also little engine paint too. The main panels like the hood and rear fender are staying orginal.

Lookin good! I had to do a little paint work on my 420 as well so don't feel bad. Unlike most other Wheel Horse tractors the paint often peels on these series tractors. IMHO peeling paint looks like crap and it only gets worse if not taken care of. Yours is lookin great!

That looks really nice. It's funny because without the hood or chrome wheels, it looks just like my 418-A. So much so I have saved your pictures so I can get mine back together the way it should be. Thanks for posting them. You've answered two of my questions already. I have been looking for one "naked". Can't wait to see it back together.
