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 find breaking the bead on an older tough as nails tire to be the most 🤬🤐🤪🥵🥵🥵 difficult challenging part. I'll have to try the sawzall or other methods.

I gotta tell ya this tractor is a beast. It’s built for work for sure, all it’s missing is the two speed tranny for heavy ground engagement duties. When I start my C-160 and this guy side by side I can’t really tell much difference in the two. My 1046’s days of heavy work are over for now. I just fire it up and spin it around the property. It is the smoothest operating tractor I own.

And that’s how I justify driving up north to buy it from the pump at a regular gas station. I wouldn’t do it for a couple gallons but I do for 30+ gallons

Download the manual for that mower deck. In the sidebar to download, it should list the common available belt size... Bill

Skateboard grip tape comes in colors and designs too.

Yep is got the longer belt guard with no embossed spot for the decal.

Without seeing exactly how window is built it is hard to come up with a solution although yours sounds reasonable. As for the movement it is excessive reflecting a fault of some type in construction and or design. I have built and also installed manufactured windows larger than that and none flexed even a fraction of what you experience.

We can put them in the trash, but the side walls have to be cut out. They tell me that is so they compact better at the landfill.

Agreed. Mighty purdy backside. Me likey! Got me thinkin (brace yourselves any time this happens) how my tractors share so many qualities with the Mrs... 1- tough as nails. 2- no matter the years, keeps looking good. 3- works hard... Don't tell her I said so. 4- never ceases to amaze me with what she can accomplish. 5- can tick me off like nothing else but always shows me it's likely something I did wrong... 6- makes me spend money that I normally wouldn't. Sound about right?

Great grab on that truck! I'm a big fan of the 99-06(07 classics) for GM trucks. The 6.0 LS gas would be my ideal setup as you have there. Should haul a decent amount of WH's to the show for ya!

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.

Here's one for the Sylvia he had ... a B hood in pristine shape. Also a late model with front deck and a homemade striper. All these tractors were for sale if interested. Lots of field plowing. @StreetrodchevMy back was shot from all the mid grading but managed to get a couple of rounds in on the 1054. Plowed great once I got a shine on Tom @Shynon. Lots of all classes pulling and had a locals stock for fun class when the heavy hitters were done. Dan on the diesel and our buddy Joel on his Case.

That's a Hiawatha Seneca.

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...

Finally got around to fixen up the seat I found at the big show this yr.for a great price ! It was in pretty good shape, just needed some love.Stripped it all down painted the pan and cleaned up the vinyl and re wrapped the foam cushion. I think it came out pretty good.I’m planning on putting it on a 12 Auto,this is the seat it originally with I believe. This thing really has some weight to it !

So the second bike is just about done. This morning I had to do a little cutting and drilling to get the chain guard on that I painted yesterday. Just waiting on the final touch from @Vinylguyand it's finished. Can you see where I'm going with this?

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

Finally got to the 656. Got it running awesome. Cleaned it up and put a seat on him. 88 degrees can kiss my ass though! 😂

Got a deck put on the 520-8

No tractor projects to yak about, but I did run a gallon or more of fuel thru the 414-8 this afternoon. I love mowing and try to change up the pattern each time I mow.
