my first wheel horse

[farmerall 23]

Yesterday I went to look at a Wheel Horse B111 that I found on craigslist and it ended up following me home. This is my first wheel horse and I am only 16 so I will have time to collect a lot more of them. One question I have is was thois a good tractor to buy and what year range was this model made in.

I added pics further down the page too.

:D I'm not familiar with the B-111.... so I'll let someone else answer your questions. In my opinion though... if it says Wheel Horse, or Work Horse... it's GOOD!

You're going to love this place and, if you get a chance, :hide:

Hi, and ! Glad you found us and happy to have you aboard!

I agree with Jon - if it says "Wheel Horse", then it's good!

:hide: Yes like that Martha Stewart says: "wheel horse, that's a good thing"

(ok maybe she never actually included wheel horse)

I believe a B-111 would make it a 1979 model.

In the Redsquare Picture Gallery there is a picture of a 1978 and a 1979 model B-111........if anyone isnt sure what they look like.

As Sparky indicated, the B-111 was made in 1978 and 1979. And as noted above, they were vertical shaft LAWN tractors. Not as durable nor versatile as the garden tractors. It had a 11 hp Briggs and the 1978 models only had a 4 speed Peerless transmission, while the 1979 models had the 4 speed Peerless and there was also a 6 speed Foote (Dana) transmission model.

Oh, btw, :hide:

Wheel Horse classified the B-111 as a lawn tractor not a garden tractor meaning it wasn't designed to run a tiller, a snowthrower, or a garden plow. It was mainly for mowing the grass, towing carts, or plowing light snow. Still it's a Wheel Horse and better than most of the newer ones sold today. It's a good one to get started on.

Here's the years and model numbers:

1978 4-speed 82-11BP01

1979 6-speed 92-11BF01

1979 4-speed 92-11BP01

So I recently just bought a 1978 wheel horse B 111 4 speed and I took the transmission apart to get all of the contaminated oil out and the shift forks fell out does anyone which way they go back in?

Hi Ross and welcome to Redsquare.

 

Go ahead and post a new thread in the transmission section and someone should be able to help you out with that.
