Seller threw these in as well.

Tractor does not have the rear lift but just some contraption bolted to the rear hitch to adapt to these.

However, I do have the proper sleeve hitch and lift on a couple of my machines so I can use them.

The implements look like they are originally for a Simplicity walk behind tractor.

Do I recall that the Gold Horse Hood Ornament was used on the WH anniversary year tractors?

 

Amazing that the tractor started and ran at -10 C. That was one cold tractor ride. Being from Texas, I sure don’t run at that temp!

Actually, it was a nice ride.

I have not even got a winter coat out yet, just a sweat shirt and light plaid jacket.

Topped off with a ball cap.

No gloves required for a day that nice either.

 

And just a couple of months ago it was in the 30's (around 88 degrees F)

You just adapt.

I don't bother fixing the AC in any of my old cars but need the heat to de-ice the windshield in the winter.

hi cleat,

 

it seems to me that wheelhorse was somewhat regional and not nationally (USA) distributed.  i say this because some members report not many wh tractors in their area. would you say wh was well represented in canada (your area) back in the day?    or do you find your tractors in the states?   just curious.   wherever you find them you sure make them look real nice.

 

regards

mike

There are two Toro (former Wheel Horse) dealers near me.

They both won sales awards for their Wheel Horse sales numbers back in the day.

 

That said, I have bought most of mine fairly local.

Furthest I have ever driven was maybe an hour away.

I would think between the ones I have bought and sold plus the ones I have kept that I have purchased at least 20.

 

I have never bought a tractor in the states but most of my parts come from there.

Finally brought the 416 home from the mother-in-laws place.

When I got home I thought I would drive the GT1600 onto the trailer to ensure two tractors would fit.

They do.

Trailer dropped down 1" (from 4" fender to tire to 3" fender to tire) with the weight of the tractors so I am happy with that as well.

Well the teardown has started.

Hood set aside for now.

These parts are cleaned up.

You can see the bends in the fender that the PO did to clearance the oversize tires.

I will attempt to straighten these.

Spare frame has been painted and is ready to be used on this tractor.

I want this one because it has the longer foot rest support bars used with the early foot rests.

The new style foot rests with the rubber pads have shorter bars.

Spare front axle cleaned up and painted.

I will do the same to the one from this 416 and use the best one on final assembly.

Can you please elaborate on this?

Years used?

Actual measured difference? 

 

I'm interested to know for the build of our future Backhoe chassis.

@cleat

Looks like some of that harness got a little toasty. 

Easy fixes?

Sure.

This picture shows an older style frame with the equal length foot rest bars.

This is the late model frame with the shorter front bar.

647808666_Footrestbarsnewstyle.JPG.0ba6f630e3a76a9f7781aaba1667cde9.JPG

 

Here are the measurements of the late model bars.

I will be pulling the harness and rebuilding it to repair any issues and to modify it to suit my needs.

9 pin will also be replaced with new.
