i dont have any pics from when i bought it the other day.the hood was shot and couldnt be used,the seat didnt have any padding it was just a bare pan.i used a hood i had laying around and a seat off another fender pan i had (thanks Bell).i pulled he carb and done a fast cleaning/rebuild,cleaned and adjusted the points,changed plugs and it started.it starts and runs good,it drives good and the hydraulic lif works good but with some leaks.

here is a hand written paper from when he was buying the 1276.

heres the original manuals that came with it.

Jim: I really like the posting of the original purchase of this tractor and accessories in 1965 for the 1276 Wheel Horse. This is just one great piece of "recent history!"

I am very glad you got this and also posted it for others to share and learn from! Thanks Jim! :thumbs2:

thanks guys.i was amazed to see a 54 inch blade option.does anyone know anymore about a big blade offered for these tractors?

Jim: The 1964 1054's had a 54 inch snow/dirt blade option. Heere is one of two we restored last year.

And this is a before shot:

We rebuilt the two blade half/cup lifts on the back . And welded new plate in some spots.
