We are not putting down other brands, we are merely expressing out preference. I tell my wife I don't find fault with other women, I just prefer her, . Besides, the phrase is "NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE BEING CHASED BY A WHEEL HORSE."

Everything that was mobile got taken outside, and the shop got swept out. 520H C141 Elec-Trak E-14 Roper tow vehicle J. D. 110 Speedex S18 Sulky, and wagon with seat. Everything else got pushed aside and swept around. Then it was all put bak and covered.

I consider it ribbing just like hot rods. I’m a Chevy guy. We need the competition to be competitive, and I appreciate them all, but I can’t see myself driving a truck where they circle the problem on the grille!

I really wish you guys would stop putting down other brands, they will all break down eventually. The truth is, that slogan started with Deere's snowmobile line in the early 1970s. And it stuck. And the truth is that Deere makes probably the best line of lawn and garden tractors today with their X series line, made in Horicon, Wisconsin. Their 7 gauge deck, known as the 7 Iron, is the only 7 gauge deck that is stamped from a single piece of steel. The other manufacturers have to fabricated their commercial decks, using 7 gauge for the sides and 10 gauge for the top section and welding them together to make a deck. Only Deere has a press large enough to stamp 7 gauge metal. Rounded corners means less material buildup to corrode and rust a deck. It's also sad, though, that Deere choses to penalize their ag buyers with their policy for repairs. I know the auto industry wants to do this as well. Sad.

Another rule of thumb comes from zero turns: if you can't back up the entire hill without wheelspin you should not mow it with said machine. If it's steep enough to slide it's well past steep enough to flip. One thing to note: your ag tires might grip better running backwards initially, but when they finally slip they will slide like an ice rink because the chevron shape running correctly should "shed" whatever it pulls up. Running backwards will compact any debris and hold it making the tread useless.

Gear jammer or Hydro, you can mow up a hill much better than down, Simple physics, going up hill the weight of the tractor is being applied to the rear axle, going down a hill the weight is being transferred toward the front axle. I have used tire chains while mowing a steep grade, if you don't spin the tires they won't harm the grass.

I'm with Kev on the ribbing part don't go to thinking the JD owners don't talk about the WH stuff. @Pullstart Does Chevy still give a free puppy with every purchase? Just so you don't have to walk alone when it lays down on ya.

T-Mo. My brother in Vt always ask me why I hate J.D. I always tell him I don’t hate John Deere. I hate the color yellow just never could stand looking at that color.. And in Vermont being called the green Mountain state I guess it just fits. I also would like to add there is a ton of those tractors up there people love them In that state. I guess I could say John Deere’s is king from what I can see. I’ll stick with red.

Hey hey hey.. Finally found a D-250!

happy Birthday @GlenPettit, hope you are doing well.

Just keep in mind that even the tiniest bit of sealant that escapes the joint and enters the carburetor will cause problems. I never use tape or sealant on fuel lines since the proper fittings are all designed to seal mechanically.

Very sorry about your loss. Rest in Peace Wade.

To clarify, most every Wheel Horse has an open differential. Preference to the less grip is applied when moving forward, backward, or slowing down. The brake is not simply on one wheel. I know you know what you mean Lee, but I figured it’s worth mentioning for future reading.

Mike That is what I was thinking in this post.

Good one Lane.

Nice score!

Sorry about your loss.

Happy Birthday Kevin, hope you have a good one

Not sure why you cant message me here , but i will be making more come this fall , when i do i will put a post on that they are available

Yes, that hood and grille look pretty righteous!

I need to do an ID check on my C-160. I may have just assumed that it was a '74. I don't remember actually looking it up.

Hope you don't make a wrong turn and water something else.

Here we go again Mike, this is why you should let me come get those 23x10.50-12’s that you should never use 🤣🤣🤣

Get all cleaned up nice for all the guests who stop by. And I looking forward to a ride along with you on Friday.

I watched a documentary on the Gemini and Apollo flights. That took guts. Setting sail in those ships took guts. I'm about half scared to navigate from bedroom to the bathroom in the middle of the nights without lights on.

That big thing with the yellow wheels outta commission...? Couldn't handle it?

Looks like you have the bracket and shaft (#5 in the parts diagram) about 180 degrees out of position. The way I read the parts diagram, the outer pulley should be ahead of the inner pulley when installed on the tractor. Your picture shows that it is behind the inner pulley. Disclaimer: I do not own a 520H nor have I worked on one. I'm sure somebody with direct knowledge of a 520H will be along with comments.

Here's one of Chad's, I have them on a Raider 12, C160, and a 16 Auto.

to the That's a great looking C-160. Here's my 16 hydro that has moved on to another member.

With your collection of vintage stuff sounds like you'll fit right in! You'd get along with @AMC RULES Say what Richard??? ...sure now you tell me!

@SC/397 from Midwest Michigan! We love pictures! Here are a few of what’s been going on over here lately...

And I too have a 74 C-160. Mine is the Cinnamon Horse. You've found a great place for all your Wheelhorse info, parts, knowledge and may even make a friend or 2. Or a lot.

I also have the same model and year tractor. It's quite a workhorse. Do the basic maintence on it and it will last a lifetime or more.

The couple I have will be cheaper than that

I am very saddened to report that my brother Wade David Ralph passed away on Wednesday due to complications from COPD. He was an Army veteran serving in the Army Corps of Engineers as a mechanic, truck driver and operated heavy bulldozers during the Hurst Fires near Fort Ord, California in the 1970’s. He was a very good carpenter, building homes and remodeling in Alabama and other locations and often assisted my father Clifton Ralph in his blacksmith shop. David was also a great Wheel Horse garden tractor fan ! We traveled to many different tractor shows and bought many Wheel Horse tractors across the USA and one in Canada! His COPD prevented him from traveling to shows with me the last 7 years as he was 24/7 on concentrated oxygen. FYI WADE DAVID RALPH 10/08/1953-07/29/2026 Visitation Saturday August 8th 10:30a-12:30p Kuiper Funeral Home 9039 Kleinman Road Highland, IN Internment 1:00p Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens 8178 S Cline Avenue Crown Point, IN
