A $40 WH sweeper

[AHS 1,586]

i havent got it yet, but it 20 miles away. But, what powers it? Obviously a belt. But what hooks it up? Here’s pictures. I think i should go up and get that!!!

Looking at a bit of the narrative says it has no wheels or bag.  Sounds like a normal tow behind wheel driven sweeper

Never heard of one of these before. Is that kind of like a grass dethatcher sort of situation?

Looks like mine except I have all the parts.  I believe that is a tow behind sweeper.

So, what is it a leaf sweeper or a gravel sweeper?

What do you have for parts?if is.if it is for grass and leaves, i would think it would have a bag. Maybe it got lost!!

I don't have any good parts for sale, I would like to get it back in operation.  I have a new bag but I need new tires and repair parts for the ratchet mechanism.  These sweepers were made by Lambert for Wheel Horse.

By the time you rounded up the wheels, ratchet gears if needed  basket and frame, and any other parts it is missing you would be better buying a new one.

Wheel Horse doesn't make new sweepers. 

 

I have gone thru three sweepers of other brands, I only want the Wheel Horse sweeper for a collectors item.  Years ago Wheel Horse wanted $85 per wheel, I missed a like new Lambert sweeper and will continue to look at other brands that only need red paint.  John Deere also sold some sweepers made by Lambert.

 

If any members want to buy a new sweeper, I have found the AllFit from Home Depot to be the best deal, they are made by Ohio Steel and are identical other than paint.  Parts are reasonable and they ship quickly.  You can find the AllFit sweepers on the auction site for the best price.  My opinion is that all sweepers sold today should be considered throw-away items, at least the Ohio Steel can be fixed a number of times because of the reasonable cost for parts and TSC has the wheels.
