LFR 39 #1 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Hey guys! I have been here for a little while but didn't have a wheelhorse til today when a guy had one in the back of his barn for scrap! I was like hell no that ain't going to scrap! So I paid 40$ for it and he had all the manuals and the original sales receipt! It also has a snow blower and mower deck! And it's in really nice original condition! It doesn't run yet but I will get it there as I'm a k series fanatic and ALL of my garden tractors are Kohler k- series! I will include some photos and could anybody tell me the year of it? I think it's a 78 but reassure me on that! Pictures to follow, it's also a Hilo 4 speed 8 speeds Edited April 27, 2016 by LFR 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,515 #25 Posted April 27, 2016 Nice Horse but, the mule drive handle is a little soiled. You'll need to wipe that off before adjusting it. Old Ford looking OK but red is for the blood we shed. Paint it red? Great idea! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
