I saw a cleaning company throwing out everything at a abandoned house and new the owner mowed with a wheel horse tractor so I stopped to see if it was still there. They said yes and it was going to get scrapped along with another one. I offered 50 bucks for a running but in rough shape b100 auto and a toro wheel horse classic which doesn't look like it has run in a long time along with a snow blade and chains some times it payed to stop and ask

Nice save Moe !!! Think everyone here would hate to see those getting scraped. Be sure to to cruise by and wave when you see'm cutting the lawn with a brand new spank'n MTD

old Wheel Horse sales brochure. A very good summary of Wheel Horse official and allied attachments.

Happy Birthday Lola @Mrs. Redo we are all glad you were born!

There's lots of different tips and doodads to put on them for different tasks. Start with one of those little kits that have a few with it. Something like this

I found it @ebinmaine! This is a ‘67 Columbia tandem, I do believe. It was given to me by a man who worked for me about 10-12 years ago. After that, he got cancer and fought hard through the chemo but he didn’t last too long. Chris was an awesome human being and was very generous to give me this. We’ve had it camping from time to time. Once we had the tandem, a tag along, a 2 place kid wagon, and a handful of beach wagons tied behind it. I’d love to find pictures of that one!

Good idea. I plan to put a 2” receiver in the front of/under my workbench. I can then make a scroll saw insert, vise, bike clamp, etc. It will be a multi use bench.

Here are some pics of more examples of Wheel Horse attachments! Lots of options!

This one was for sale 39 years ago until I bought it from the dealer 😂 39 years to the month! Used it like crazy and restored it a few years ago.

I finished up cleaning and rebuilding the carburetor this evening. Took a fair amount of extra time on this one because it was painted black and covered with dirt so it had a bunch alternating dips and sprays in the ultrasonic cleaner and brake clean. Here's the before n after.

May want to place an add in the classified wanted section for better exposure . Good luck @Emt260 in your search.

Around twenty years ago I worked for an excavating company that was hiring to do some cleanup after a junkyard closed. We uncovered what was their tire pit. They would just push them over a bank and cover them with sand. We must have dug up thousands of tires, that were buried for thirty years or more with not much sign of decomposition. I think we filled three 48’ box trailers, two guys that bounced the tires around to get the sand out before loading them by hand and stacking in the trailer. (I did not do that part of the job!)

Hi. This is a cool brochure, thanks Lane! I color corrected the individual pages, sequenced them, and joined them into a pdf. WH Attachments & Accessories Brochure.pdf

How uncommon are the 1046 tractors I have one and the only thing I see about them is in all red considering sale it when I got it had a hi/lo and knew that wasn’t correct so put a 3 speed back in it

Whx you can message me on Facebook messenger if you would like

How much of the plug is still sticking out. If you have at least 1/8", you should be able to get a pair of vice-grips on it. If not, clean the inside of the 1/4" Allen hole of all grease and dirt. Then get Torx bit that is slightly larger then a 1/4" Allen, probably T40, and drive it in. Then use your 3/8" drive to turn it out.

Although I bet I produced more green house gas than a ...

Long before Sylvia was doing it with tugs…

Been there done that!!! 20 years ago or so with my son and daughter...

You going to get into the tractor manufacturing business and put them all back together?

I just went through this with my tractor I heated up a little with a torch and then found a torques bit that was close tapped it in the rounded out Allen head hole and it came right out. Assuming this is the same type of plug you are having issues with I used the torques bit style that goes on a ratchet socket rench

thank you all! Ill grab one on my way home

I’ve been told there were approximately 250 units produced. It was a “special” WH made. 603 and 1045 being some others.

Here's a thread showing a good list. You'll be able to use some of the lighter attachments that don't get too aggressive with ground engagement.

Nice design. I like how the hydraulic cylinder is in the middle of the lift arms. I have wanted to move the cylinder to the middle on my gt14. I have seen the rear lift arms break off the pivot bar and I believe (my opinion) that it is because it lifts from one side. Seems like that would put torsional strain on the upper lift assembly. I am not an engineer but just my thoughts. Seems like it would work better with the forces that are present being applied evenly across the upper arms. I plan on doing it one day as I have an extra upper & lower bracket to experiment with. Your attention to detail is very nice.

Always great to save from scrap. Well done!

And do the same 2 years later - they will prpbably be using yet another tractor (sorry, grass cutter)....

Did a little painting today

I don't FB much Kenny... not sorry

No go Bill, I sold it to @PeacemakerJack for an 854 8 speed project. We field stripped it in his shop, Mafia style!

Hardware store. Plumbing supply. Auto Parts store. Possibly even Garden supply. If you have to go mail order you could go mcmaster-carr. If you have a few days to wait I could send you one.

Guys gotta believe that à 1046 is an updated 1045. Guessing the 1045 had such good sales they followed it up with the 1046. I know I would allow one in my herd. Might just be a bucket lister.

We have a 1-1/2 yard dumpster. No vehicle tires, but garden tires are allowed. We have a bi-annual event at the local fairgrounds to take used tires. They have a 30 tire limit posted, but accept whatever you bring them, so long you’re not a commercial outfit.

I use the skate board tread tape. Adhesive backed and easily cut. Any sports shop should stock it.

I've noticed the hood on my C-160 doesn't always want to fit on the hood stand correctly. The other day when lowering the heavy recycler deck I noticed the hood and hood stand moving in different directions. I knew exactly where I had to look. Hood stand cracked right below the lift arm. Had to remove the running board, brake rod and brake pedal, hyd. lift control and cylinder to get enough access. I have an appt. with Billy Bob the welder on Thursday.

Seems to be a common communicable disease one catches on this site...

Put the 42" deck on the Raider as I up grader the mid hitch and added a front hitch when I got it. It did good but struggled some on my tough weeds. but I usually mow with the C-120/180 or the 520. The North Carolina dust bowl is back. Kevin (Kpinnc) show a picture of it some time back. Here is mine the Raider was clean when I started the backyard. I gave it an air bath before I put it away

Playin' with Kohler carbs today again. Here's the internals of a different one that's in the ultrasonic cleaner right now for a Redsquare Supporter.

Busy day... finally had to replace the original ig switch on the 1045. What a PIA. I re-wired it from stem to stern when I got it but of course the new switch was completely different term layout. Working with these 70 Amp switches is never fun. Hats off to Mr. David @new2horses for prompt shipping of the show replacement. He's invited to my camp anytime I don't care if @wheelhorseman does have better chow...

I don’t mind swapping tires…but installing tubes is a PIA, not one of my favorite tractor chores. The two tires had dropped from 16# to about 11# in the few hours it took me to go out and grab a couple tubes. So it had to be done. And what’s with $22for a 16x6.50x8 tube . But, one done already

Hi My name is @ebinmaine. You shoulda put tubes in right from the start...

It did not. The original plow frame went from the standard rear axle bracket to the mid mount bracket, but the raise/lower lever was not attached. If I had a hydro deck lift, I most certainly would have looked into a way to incorporating it to help lift it into place. The gentleman I bought it from said he designed it for his ease of attachment and moving it around......if you notice the wheels on the front of the chipper. He would flip those down, insert the pin that holds them, and then walk the whole assembly around like a wheel barrow. It worked very well as is, but took up too much room in my garage for my liking. I'm also a pretty big dude and "young" enough to not mind muscling things around a little. Attaching to the mid mount is pretty easy by myself, but I still put a floor jack under the front of the chipper to lift it into the front hitch point. When its off the tractor, I can also flip those wheels down and easily wheel it around.

Did this yesterday technically, but happy with the results so far. I had bought a Mighty Mac chipper at the big show that was mounted on a full size plow frame. I liked the idea, but it was HUGE as it went all the way to the rear axle. So I spent time the past few weeks cutting it down, bracing it, and modifying it to mount to the center and front hitch points. I finally got everything lined up last night, so I installed the belt and guard. I went to fire it up for a trial run and of course......the battery is dead. There can be no other way, LOL. And I can't lift the hood because of the belt guard. I did squeeze some leads in there for a battery charger, so hopefully I can fire it up tonight. Fingers crossed nothing flies apart. This thing is a beast

Got a deck put on the 520-8

As they say “You can do it all on a Wheel Horse!”

Load em up and Head em out!

Things were happening this afternoon with the B-60 and @TonyToro Jr.
