Letting cat out of bag...

[Docwheelhorse 2,753]

Hello All,

First off... I will NEVER believe that theres only "225"

This is number 3 for me (sold first one dangit)

Plus @Sparky has one in his garage and I saw another sell this week.

 

There EVERYWHERE...

 

Anyways... took a few days off from work and went on a road trip. Im 1000 miles west of home in Indianna.

 

Picked these up today, doing a couple other things around here tomorrow--that will be another post.

 

Supposidely the one on the back was fully rebuilt--engine and trans wise and painted by a member here on the  Square. ( Ronald Castleman?)

 

The dealer in pic was original seller and supposidely big time WH / Toro.

 

Tony

6pm update...

Got to hotel I'm staying at... unloaded everything and put that big azz deck on back to take the squat out of my truck. No need to kill it like that for 1000 miles

I have never seen one with electric lift. Can you tell if it came that way or if it was added on later in life?

 

Nice finds!

@Docwheelhorse I’m totally with you on the “Only 225 built” I’ve seen way too many of those for only 225 built. Only 200 420-LSE’s were built and you rarely see them pop up. 
 If that’s “THEE” Humphrey Wheel Horse dealer I’m thinking of then yes, they have a long history with Wheel Horse. Pretty sure an internet search will reveal some cool old photos and the history of that dealership. I even have a key chain from there! I’m not sure where I got it from? Maybe the Big Show? 
 I’ve said it here before, I’m not sure why those 520-8’s didn’t come factory with electric lift? Anyway, nice score and we look forward to more pictures when you get them home! Safe travels…..
