I just got this baby home. Got it for $300 including hub caps. Runs like a top!! 1967 857. I don't think I got hurt.

i recently bought a moldboard plow and today was the first test

So I'm at the shop where I volunteer and one of the guys starts flashing pics of a tractor on his phone... "ya. The guy has this thing and it needs a stahteh - thats starter for you non new englanders he shows me the pic and I say. "That's about a 72 commando based on the stickers and steering wheel". Shows me the engine plate and the sticker covering the model and serial,for the machine. Well it's got electric start so I pop on here and download the reference chart for years and engines. Coulda been a 857, nope wrong engine code. turns out to be a 72 commando 8 as best we can tell its not running so I offered $100, there might be extras like a deck or blower or something. He's got 3 machines total so I may come home with something new Oh, and why exactly is this place awesome? Because in 3 months I've learned more about models and options to id old stuff and to find reference materials when I need them thanks All

Hi Lynn, As I promised, here's your 875 the PROBLEM the new rod x Alive and well and riding the horse trails.

This is meant to make you smile. This is a story only emoticons can tell.............................

well then while your at it: http://www.ecotrons.com/products/small_engine_rhb31_vz21_turbocharger/ That should help overcome the flathead limitations.....

I put a HF winch on my 312-8 and have the grader blade on the regular lift.

I just picked up a rear discharge deck that was on a tractor I bought for 250 bucks and it is in real good shape. As you stated, it needs painted and the deck spindles gone over. (And some real good blade sharpening too). There should be no need for you to drop that kind of money on a used deck and never, IMHO, on a new old stock deck. The Wheelhorse decks were some of the heaviest built mowing decks on the market. Way over-engineered! This is why you see so many decks still being used on 20, 30 and even 40 year old tractors. Welding shops charge very little for hole repairs on decks that were not cared for. (Rode hard and put away wet). Spindles and the spindle bearings are easy to find and so are the roller and deck wheels. Even if you spend 250 buck for a used deck that better darn well be hole-less and quiet for that price, pressure spray it, dry it off very well and coat the bottom of it with a good sealer. If you clean it out just decent between mowings and grease the spindles and wheel regularly then super clean it and store it inside over our winters like I'm sure your tractor is, it should last your lifetime. If you don't care for it, it will still last many years but repairs will be required in all the usual suspect places in time. My opinion and never given unsolicited!

Moved a ton of stone the other day with a Briggs 14 hp Work Horse. Did OK but a FEL would be the way to go. Sorry to hear 'bout your problems but, were you just having a bad dream? An excuse to tell the Ms., "I'm going to have to get another Horse."

The frame is correct for a 400. Also the clutch/brake pedal is correct for a 400/550. Same frame was used for a 400, 550, or 401 BUT, something is modified or lengthened in the front too. The hood should mount close to the front edge. Better to find another frame unless you are doing a rat rod

Very complete, you even got the cigar lighter!

I forgot to mention before thanks for the add! As for the serial number plate that is gone as well. The motor does appear to have been swapped out to a kohler k181s with a 12v ignition system. However I must admit I do like the little stack the previous owner put on.

Heck yeah... looks like it's gonna clean up nicely.

Ditto what @Ken B said.

The transmission is a Wheel Horse # 5010...a 1960 transmission. You can tell by the brake band mount on the side plate...it is at an angle rather then straight up and down.

Another thing a wheel horse can do, that very few (if any), other tractors can do, is set there in the basement (or garage), all shined up, and silently, just look damned good.

I'm happy you got that tractor Boo. I knew it really wasn't a good fit for the original poster but I knew it would make a great tractor for someone.

And you don't have to join to see pics!

Redsquare is the best WheelHorse manual you will ever find .

You did good Jack, a buddy's got a 314 and loves it. Looks like we are pretty close to each other - let me know if you need help rustlin it!

Looking forward to the pics. I would just start off with the good cleaning, Change the engine and transmission oil, air and fuel filter if needed, grease her up, check the battery cables and any other routine maintenance thing you can think of. Then use it some to find out if there's anything else it needs.

With the wide range of implements that were made for Wheel Horse tractors you can cut grass, plow and blow snow, plow and disc or till your garden, drag logs out of the woods, (been there done that) sickle bar mow along ditches, and just about anything your mind can conjure up to do with one. NO they aren't a 500cc four wheeler by any stretch but I wouldn't have the need for one of those here other than recreational use. We mow about two acres here and if we both are on the B60 and B80 it takes an hour to do it. The 8hp Kohlers have plenty of power and sip gas like Grandma does moonshine. We also have a C85 with an OH140 Tecumseh transplant that whips through a foot of snow without much trouble. I'm sure you can find lots of pics of members putting their Horses to work here on the forum.:)

Jack, the chain thingy hanging from the rear tell me the tractor has the lift cable / rocker shaft / chain. Its got all the good things going for it mechanically and ground engaging wise. Time to call the owner and go get the tractor before someone else (like me who knows what they are looking at) beats you to it!

I just picked up an old wheel horse that someone attempted to restore. And all the decals are missing along and info tags. I was wondering if there were any other things that separated them?

Great suggestions all about what a wheel horse can do, but nobody has yet mentioned the most important thing of all: Bring a bunch of folks from all over the world together and form lasting friendships. Good luck with your lumber jacking! steve

Too much ethanol. Oh my. After cleaning always use an ethanol stabilizer in your fuel, ethanol gas. I often use 100LL, 100 octane low led gas. Available at a local airport. Small aircraft cannot use ethanol fuel. I also use Berryman B-12 in the fuel on occasion. Cleans the fuel system. It is said, "Ethanol is the small engine mechanics' best friend." They make more loot working on your engine.

and photos would also help!

Presuming the engine is original to the tractor you could post the data on the number plate, also information from the transmission could help ID it.

I always feel like doing a victory dance when I get a hitch pin out! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Some of the best horses i have were the worst looking when i bought them! You can't always judge a book buy its cover

Thanks Ken. I am further along than the pics indicate but I keep adding to the project. First it was the 3 point. More sand blasting and preparation. Then I stumbled across a Tiller. Same situation. Then the unforeseen delays. My Compressor needed repair soon after I started in earnest sand blasting. That delayed me a couple weeks. The Daughter/SIL and munchkins moved in. Multiple delays. Picked up a C-195 and focused on it for a couple weeks. Space to work and set up dedicated paint area is one of the bigger challenges. Nothing the rest of the forum does not experience and overcome. Somehow I really thought I would be done with this by now and even had hopes of taking it to the Big Show this past June. What was I thinking! LOL As was mentioned in someone else's GT14 restoration thread, there is a lot to these tractors and the rusted bolts and heavier thickness of every piece adds additional time and effort. But this tractor should be my worker for the remainder of my life if I can keep Hydro's going. I will have a couple spares and the next big projects will be to do an engine rebuild so I have a spare and then rebuild of a Hydro in case I have a failure. But it keeps me out of trouble and if I am not working on this one, I'll have some other project. I always have 4-5 things going on anyway. This is the seat I plan on using. I picked up some arm rests from forum member I plan to try and marry to this seat.

It looks like you are well on your way to having yourself a real nice GT 14 Aldon. Nice work so far.

The Wisconsin AB, ABN and ABS models have a 2-1/2" bore and 2-3/4" stroke. AB - 2.9hp @ 2400 rpm ABN - 4.6hp @ 3600 rpm ABS - 3.6hp @ 3600 rpm There is a flat area with two bolts in it above the oil dipstick (7th from the last photo). If you clean that area off with a scrapper you may find the model number. Garry

Kyle you should a called me I would have helped you out someway......

I think I may be...lol I just figured it would put too much strain on the rear end... guess there is a difference between a rider and a tractor. Some of these logs were settled right in after being down for two + yrs... and when at first they didnt budge... I backed up and hit it again...soon enough the log bent to the wheel horses will... I thought that backing up and hitting it hard again would tear out the rear end... and I was surprised to hear that it could take it...and went at it with the approach of go or blow and it went .... No matter how hard the load was the tires never stopped spinning... so that was my first indication that it could handle it... If the machine wasnt able to handle it the rear end would have bogged down and stalled out instead the tires kept spinning trying to get a bite. and hold on when they did... At one point I had to stop and clear the path... the log was catching all the limbs that were down and were being dragged along with the log I didnt notice I was collecting friends along the way... This is with the 50# rear wheel weights off...

You might consider blasting everything in that transmission with walnut shells (or fine glass bead) gears, shafts and all. Once its clean those gears may not be to bad, and the shafts might polish up with very fine emery cloth. PS. You mention your blast cabinet is also finished! If you built your own, please share pictures.

Got the 875 together today. Had to hand feed her for about 30 seconds and then she ran on her own kinda rough for a minute,then smoothed out and now really sounds like a happy little horse. I wanted to try the hydro before I invested much time in the redo. When I engaged the hydro she would barely move forward or reverse and had a funny tinny noise coming from the tranny. This was my fear buying a non running tractor....a bad hydro. The drive belt seemed loose, so I loosened the engine bolts and moved it forward as much as I could to help tighten the belt. Still no better, then I remembered this. I had opened the tow valve to load it on the trailer. Closed the tow valve and tried her again. Now I can even pop-a-wheelie although she isn't too fast and I still hear the tinny noise in the hydro. I flipped the seat up and found the fan was missing a screw and the other three were loose. That took care of the noise, so we went on a 1/2 mile trail ride. She runs fine and sounds good with the static timing setting, and the carb settings in the manual. Thanks again to Mike and Brandon for all the help. Now, just need to decide what to do with this one.

Stop thinking about it so much, chain it up and see what she can do. As far as your power concern, yes it does take away from the acceleration (which, at .5 mph, no big loss) but you will gain more inertia so it nearly cancels out. Put a couple hundred pounds of weights on it, put it in low range first gear... chain your truck up to it and you will be grinning from ear to ear. The engine doesnt even dip when in low low.

Your last line says it all.

I guess I am having a hard time understanding/comprehending it hence "skeptic horse" because I keep hearing what they are capable of but when I look at the machine I think really .... I was told that if it isn't biting add more weight and my logic is, takes power to move the weight so wouldn't adding weight take away from the power... response was wheel horse dont care...lol and also heard to be impressed hook it to your truck and pull it, that it would impress me but not the horse because it knows it can. So I guess I need to just get on it and try it and see what it can do for myself. LOL

There is no limit to what a Wheel Horse can do. Besides mowers, blowers, snow plows and such, take a look at all the ground engaging equipment available to put the horse to work. http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/category/20-ground-engaging/ What else can they do? At the 2014 Wheel Horse show, there were a couple of Wheel Horses with ice cream freezers attached to them.

I told him I'd take it. I'll go after work tomorrow and pick it up. It isn't pretty now but I'll post a couple of pics. When it is freshened up with a little TLC, it will be a strong AND sharp machine. Thanks for everyone's input! If you guys have any thoughts on what I should do with it maintenance wise when I get it home, don't hesitate to share!

Have you checked to make sure it has the rear cable lift system and rocker shaft to lift a rear hitch? If that is on it, great! If not, you will need to find one here on the classifieds or one at a swap meet.

I had a surprise visit this weekend. My wife set up a surprise birthday party for me. After telling me my little horse looked like a pile of junk she got my son to come over. About a 3 hr ride. He helped me tear down the motor and did the machine work for me. Good news is He said all it needs is rings and a gasket set. But I'm ordering a new piston and new bearings as well. Hope I'm as fortunate with the transmission.

Not sure about the wife... but, I do know I'd..... keep those tires.

Karl. Very well stated. My hats off to you sir. Glenn
