Cub fan 31 #1 Posted May 3, 2017 I have a 1970 Electro "12" automatic, model 1-7255, I do not see very many reports on this model. Was this a bad model for some reason? I have had mine about 30 years, with a 42 inch side discharge mower, 42 inch snow plow and a 36 inch rotor-tiller, it has always done it all for me!! This Horse will always have a stall in my barn! . 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 4,876 #3 Posted May 3, 2017 Cub fan 1st it is a 12 hp so that will cover a lot of work for you. 2nd it is an Auto that makes it easy to use as long it is not in your way in the garage or shed. Sound like a 30+ year keeper enjoy the ride. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This Horse will always have a stall in my barn! . it was one of the more top of the line tractors, but also very similar to the charger 12. it was a option loaded tractor with the electric clutch and hydro with hydro lift and maybe some other things thrown in there. so i my opinion, which that and a dollar might buy you a cup of coffee, was more expensive and probably sold less then the chargers. I bought one, one time for the rare factory inside wheel weights. the pore old tractor had set out side in the weather to long and had a blown motor so I parted it out. got any pictures ? eric j 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jellyghost 378 #7 Posted May 3, 2017 I don't think you are finding many reviews because WH seems to have changed model names a lot, and very similar tractors year to year had different names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
