Since Kelly wet your appetites about Wheel Horse tractors at Indy with his story and pictures of his White Walls from the Indy 2 1/2, I thought I'd also share these pictures I've dug up by scouring the internet. A while back, several of us had been discussing some Indy stuff and it prompted me to go looking. If I remember right, it was sorekiwi that posted a pic that showed a Massey and a Wheel Horse Charger both behind a pit wall, someone else posted a Panzer towing a racer. I had the thought that rather than searching for pics of tractors from the era, I should search for Indy Pit Pictures. I managed to come up with this small collection from the early 60s. There is at least one Wheel Horse in every one of these pictures. The key is to look at the background. Some of you have seen these before, but many of you have not. Enjoy guys! Sometime, I would love to find the time to be able to look through the photo archive albums at the Speedway in Indy, They have hundreds of thousands of photos. A year or two ago at the show, one of the prizes was several reprints of official Indy Motor Speedway Wheel Horse pictures. They are copyrighted material that can't be posted online though.

This is a must go to event. There is always plenty of great folks and many bargains available. Make sure to mark this date on your calendar and come buy, sell, and swap!

Well it would help if we knew where you were as we all have a shop and I know you're not in mine. As far as 1990 or 1991, does yours have gear reduction steering? If it doesn't it's a 1990 or earlier. Welcome :greetings-wavingblue:

:text-+1: It's your money, use it when you want to. :dunno:

Price is high... 416 from 85-86 had the K341 87-88 had the M16 and the 89-97 had the P216 Onan twin. I would repower the 520H with a Magnum and you will be a very happy camper. My $.02

If you decide on a 110AC model, be sure to pay attention to the duty cycle. 100% duty cycle is hard to find, but well worth it in this case. Many are in the 30-40% range, which basically means for every 3-4 minutes of welding, you're supposed to wait 6-7 minutes to weld again. Otherwise you damage the unit. The fine print can bite you on some of those smaller welders, which is usually why they often break prematurely and get a bad rap. Good luck!

I hope "rusty in baskets" qualifys for this thread. A while back I got this on a pallet along with the rest of its parts in boxes After some serious E-tanking, sanding, blasting, bending, fabricating, priming, painting, assembling, cussing, I had this Thanks for looking-Al
