Can you please flip up the seat and read the information of the bottom of the seat pan and reply to me?
Thank you,
mike

Also why does it say 520 hydro on the right side below the PTO lever and 420LSE on the hood?

Very nice score! I would like to drive a 420 sle just to see what the power feels like on a Kohler M20 vs. the M18 or KT17series2

I had both a 418-c and a 420-lse at the same time. You won't feel a power difference.

WHX??

It's really hard to find low hour Wheel Horse tractors in Wisconsin.

Amen to that 608, if I am in your neck of the woods some day I may have to stop and take a look at those beauties!

Welcome to the 420 LSE club!  You found yourself a very nice one at that.  If I get a chance, I will try and get out to the barn and snap a few pictures of the plates for your reference.  Enjoy!

Thanks for the comments. AMC thank you for the pic!! I got it serviced. I drove it around a little.. It seems to have more top end than the 520H. I never owned a kohler twin before. It seems to run really smooth. It also revs up and down slower than the onans. I noticed it next to impossible to grease the steering rod. Where it goes into the fan gear.:eusa-think:

You hit the Wheel Horse Jack Pot with that pair.  Congrats.

" It seems to have more top end than the 520H. I never owned a kohler twin before. It seems to run really smooth. It also revs up and down slower than the onans."

I believe the top end on the 420LSE is 7.0mph (same as the 418A?)and the 520H is only 5.6mph depending on the year.

How about a race against my 520HC and winner take all?  

My HC will blow the belt covers off your LSE.

im not plannng on using it right now. I'm going to service it and detail it a little.

I'm going to put the 420 LSE to work too. I'll mow with it next year. Probably 5-10 hours a year. Its a shame to let it sit. It was built to use. I will pamper it though.

      Hello All,
            New to the group and looking for advice. My father was a devoted wheel horse enthusiast for many years. He only cut grass with a wheel horse tractor (rear discharge deck) pulling a Parker lawn sweeper. We have a lot of property and it took him a while but he was retired and loved being on the wheel horse. When he got sick, I had to take over all the lawn maintenance. All of our family lives close on the same road. At the time, I was responsible for maintaining 7 properties plus my fulltime job. Using the wheel horse was not an option for me so I bought a commercial zero turn mower.  Unfortunately, in 2017 my father passed away. I have all his tractors and it has been hard for me to think about what to do with them. He had 6 wheel horse tractors total. 3 tractors we used for cutting grass and 3 tractors are show pieces that have never cut a blade of grass. I have a few guys that have been asking me for years to sell them but I am not sure if I’m ready. I am turning to the group because I am lost at what I even have. Its my belief that the tractors are rare and the conditions are mint. If anyone would be willing to express their opinion and provide feedback I would be grateful.

      Bought this 420 LSE. It’s #37/200. More of a worker than a show tractor. I’ll probably continue to use it as a worker. Needs some cosmetic elbow grease more than anything. 
      Came with 48” deck, & wheel horse grass catcher system, Snow Blower, 2 aerators, (plug & spike type), & a grass thatcher.

      So about a year ago jimt1971 started talking with Pilgrim regarding a worker 420LSE.  Long story short the neighbor or friend (I can't remember which) purchased the tractor to use.  We werr okay with this as we were told that if the person who got it didn't like it, he might get it back.  Fast forward to a few weeks ago, Jimt1971 got word that pilgrim got the tractor back and wanted to see if he was still interested in purchasing it.  The price was agreed to, and we hoped that Pilgrim could make it to the WHCC show😥 unfortunately he was not able to make it, sooo we agreed to go out to his place to pick it up.  We left at 5:30am, and started our 12 hour road trip...got to Pilgrims, and got to spend a small amount of time with him and his wife before having to head back home.  I have to say that Pilgrim and his wife are two of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of meeting.  They were amazingly sweet, and a pleasure to do business with.  Today we got to take a better look at the tractor, and we plan on restoring it back to its former glory.  The one thing thatvwill remain is the decal from the mower shop that it came from to preserve its history!!
