I did the last 12" 4 ply's on the floor but took 6ply 25x10x12 to the local tire shop. He has one of thoes automatic tire machine. It does 12" to large truck tires. $20 for two tires. No way I would have got them on. Got the same deal on these OR 10.50's

The strait steering handle indicates that it is a 1957 Simplicity Wonderboy. In 1958 they put a slight bend in the steering handle like the one pictured above. I would not recommend using it as a tow tractor and here is why. - It has 1 speed forward and one reverse. The steering handle is also the clutch. Pull back on the handle to make it go, let go of or push the handle forward to disengage the drive. There are NO BRAKES ! The only thing that stops it is the friction of the drive system. Would still be a fun ride around tractor for an adult for the money. Would not recommend a kid drive it unless you rigged a better place for them to put their feet.

Evening, Here is yet another Marketplace listing.. what model..what’s size deck could that be.. what’s it all worth?

With the implements, the price is not too far off if it actually runs. The only quick visual way that I can tell the difference between a 953 and a 1054 is by the drag link for the steering. 953 1054

Evening, Saw on marketplace, wondering what it’s worth? Anyone have one? Wheelhorse ever make a tractor as small yet powerful?

Evening, Another marketplace listing, Seller add states ward tractor but I see a simplicity badge. The hand lever is both the brake AND steering? She’s asking $50.00. Would it be able to tow a cart around yard if I had small metal tab hitch added?

Simplicity, but I forget the model name. Here is another one.

Looks like a 1963 953 or a 1964 1054.

Ok the Thursday after father's day then. Dino says that's the best day anyway and he's always right.

Let 'em... I can visualize @Achto sitting at a table at the tractor shows with a big poster that says: "Wheel Horse Tractors are the best... Prove me wrong." Of course, he'll need to be in his Capt'n's get up, bed pan hat etc. in order to be taken seriously...

Careful Dan. The green, yellow, orange, white, and blue may revolt.

We're pretty lucky around here got 3 tire shops within 15 mins. and they all will do them for 10 to 15 dollars apiece and one of them will pump in liquid ballast if you bring it with you no extra charge . I try and not go to the same one over and over so as not to ware out my welcome and always give whoever doing the actual work a tip also.

I'd be SUPER curious to know exactly how it drives but I would NOT attempt to tow anything with it. Save the $50 for fixing your own Wheelhorse.

Looking around our property today I enjoyed the red color coming on to the Dogwoods. This put me in mind of a little joke I pulled on my wife when we first bought the property.. As we walked around the property I was telling my wife what species each tree was and if it was a nut tree. When we got to the first Dogwood, she asked how she could identify it as a dogwood. I told her that the bark was the best way to pick one out, she throuly examined the tree's exterior covering. At that time I snuck up behind her and BARKED LIKE A DOG. Well, at least one of us thought it was funny.

So it is written, so it shall be done...

From the beginning of recorded history (and well before) groups of people have overtaken the lands and possessions of others. The "Indigenous" people who lived on Guanahni, the island in the Bahamas where Columbus actually landed on his first transatlantic journey, held slaves. These slaves were the looser in an unknown war where another tribe from another land took over the island. Many Native American tribes including the Maya, Aztecs and others kept prisoners of war as slaves. Columbus made four trips from Europe to The American cotenant landing in the Lesser Antilles, Trinidad, the North coast of South America, and the East Coast of Central America. There is no record of Christopher Columbus ever setting foot in the land now known as the United States. There is also no record of him displacing any inhabitant on the North American Continent. His navigational skills are worthy of recognition considering the lack of sophisticated interments. Do they deserve a federal holiday if you are a government employee I suppose you would think so. Seems to me that the people who erected statues in his honor in a land he didn't actually discover were not wrong in doing so, just a bit uninformed or overzealous, and those who tore them down on in the misguided belief that this would somehow make ammens for the inhumanity that took place over a period of about 300 years. Can't we all just get along and learn from the errors of our predassoras.

Damn it @Achto I was JUST going to type that!!!
