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

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

ACE Hardware has 1/4" NPT pipe plugs.

So I know a guy who was going to bring this to the curb. Wanted it out of his garage. I said wait a minute..... load it in the back of my truck. I'll take it home and monkey with it. Story goes its a Western Flyer from the 40s. I thought I could get it rolling down the street again but nooooo. Needs help that I can't give it. The rear axle is bent and the bearings inside are in pieces. So I put the fenders on it and was about to hang it on my fence as yard art when another friend of mines son in law pulls up to look at it. He is a custom bike builder. Builds those low rider bikes. He said he has some parts that would work on it and he would get it pedaling down thr road again. He was looking at it like I look at old Wheel Horse tractors. He told me about the seat and the balloon tires and the truss bars up front, the skip tooth chain. I told him I'm not a bike guy but get it rolling again. So he tossed it in the back of his truck. Let you know how it turns out. Any bike guys out there?

This is my fave as well. Easily trimmed and full-face adhesive prevents water from entering underneath.

There is a list here. Click on the picture to bring it up. Click on the small pics to enlarge. The "A" is the attachment list

The county takes the tires free if off the rims. They charge if on the rims, a few years back it was $5.

you went to all that work and then tossed them in the trash

Kirby Thanks for that link to Lane's thread EB ... almost missed it.

Houston we have problem ... now Dan wants to build a puller...

This issue is one of the reasons I take my tires to Discount Tire for mounting. They dispose of them the correct way. 2.50 per tire charge last time. No curbside pickup and no drop off options.

Love the Ole Cat Eye Chevys. Nice

Almost forgot about the raffle tractor. Some of the guys that run the show did up a '68 Charger 12 to raffle off. A snafu with the state in getting a raffle license but I guess allowed to sell tickets on club property. I wanted to sell and display at our other shows and even offered to be the fall guy we get busted. I guess they did come out a little ahead so it's all good. Dan did the paint & put on the stickers and I donated parts. Decals of course by @Vinylguy. Not the correct motor and a couple of other minor issues but good enough for the women we go out with. A big hats off to @rjg854 for sending us the correct oil pan and didn’t even let us pay for shipping. You were mentioned for sure Randy and cuss words were not used this time. I put your name on one of my six tickets. I wouldn't have won if my name was on every ticket in the barrel. Some guy we didn’t know won. It was also mentioned how the crowd is a such tight knit bunch.

My Mom taught me!

All but impossible to tell what color they are mowing in August. The pic below was my 520-H last year. On the other hand, that Raider looks even better now Don! I'm just about to add a belly hitch on my Bronco for the same purpose. Might never use it, but all my tractors earn their keep. Even the pretty ones!

Oh I built one specifically for such things, and didn't use it.

Working on my next two victims....

you’re getting ahead of yourself!

I'm putting an Amazon purchased diesel in my RJ.

Light is cool but not original to the bike. Something was mounted there when new as you can see the bracket is built onto the forks. It is cool. Bike has a look to it.

You know we like pictures EB !!
