Moonshine*Connoisseur 460 #1 Posted Tuesday at 12:28 AM Today I broke my own rule. The rule was to not get or be remotely interested in the "riding mower" versions of the Wheel Horse. I've only ever been attracted to the garden tractor variety of the Horse. Well this little one fell into my hands and I figured I'd tinker with it. Had it running within 10 minutes. It needs a new starter solenoid and shutoff valve/grommet on the fuel tank. I putted around the yard checking all the gears and to my surprise it even has an electric pto... ooooo fancy huh ? Model 210-5 with a 30 inch mower deck actually cuts pretty nice. The hub caps are probably worth more than the machine itself. Might have to keep this baby horse around. Our annual tractor party and parade is coming up mid July so this can be an extra seat for whoever wants to go for a ride while we travel the neighborhood. Lots of people come out and wave as they know we do this every year. What makes me smile is the little and big kids too who love to participate . 8 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,722 #2 Posted Tuesday at 10:22 AM Not a fan of those but! If runs good and cuts grass and it was cheap enough I would say go for it. They all have a place in the mow/tractor world. I would not try cutting 1 to 3 acres with it though. Enjoy the ride. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,277 #3 Posted Tuesday at 10:42 AM i had a 210-H that I bought in new 1990. Got a snowblade for it too. After the blizzard of 93 I adapted an Allis Chalmers snow blower to it. I used that tractor for 20 years mowing plowing and blowing snow. Even pulled a small tree down with it! In all of those years I only had to replace the seat a fuse and a tie rod end! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 8,129 #4 Posted Tuesday at 10:43 AM My Brother has the little brother version 8 hp. Cuts like a dream. Under an acre, something to consider. I have a tote of spare parts for one and if you need anything send PM. Also have a 5 speed transmission. Yours for the asking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 59,108 #5 Posted Tuesday at 10:46 AM Looks like it has been well cared for. As we get older the opportunity to mount a Wheel Horse without having to lift your leg too high is quite an advantage. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
