875 Wheel-A-Matic update

[TIGman 2,006]

Well folks after work today I went and picked up my 875 and took some more photos as promised.

Sometime in it's life it had the shaker can paint job so had to clean off the Model/Serial No. tag.

Even with 4 bad tires , Shade Tree Mechanic added headlights, bad seat and all not to bad a shape. Everything is there.

If the Hydro is good, you are going to fall in LOVE with this horse. 

 

BTW...it is not really a BLACK HOOD...it just looks like it.

You could do one of three things to solve that problem; remove previous pictures, re-post at lower resolution or become a Supporter and post as many as you want.

Wanted to also ask where I could get information on the serial number plate.

Should I be asking on the Restoration thread?

From the looks of it,  I might have to invest in a new seat.  It will be a nice tractor when everything comes together. Going to start on it during my loooooong 2 days off.

that looks like a good candidate for the ugly tractor seat thread

I agree with Steve. These where the 1st year auto`s I had a beautiful 1075 one time could not get that tranny to work right  even with the right belt. I hope this works out for you.

[TIGman 2,006]

Going to keep our fingers crossed on the tranny!! .

Will bet you are thinking there is a Wheel Horse list of serial numbers but there isn't one. The ones posted with each model are just those that have shown up.

 

If you search the files for 1965 serial numbers the results that have SN in capitol letters will have some. The sn don't have any yet.

http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?q="1965+serial+numbers"&type=downloads_file

 

We do not have the capacity to put them all in a single list. Will guess there are about 8000 recorded now.
