Hello from Ohio

[Blazz 5]

Hello to all. New to the Wheel Horse world and very happy to have found this group.

My specialty has always been carburation and electronics so I'm guessing this may be somewhat simpler on the vintage Wheel Horse tractors. With that said, I have enough experience to know we don't always know what we think we know.

I'm aware of the sometimes daunting task in acquiring parts et al for vintage machines. It is my sincere hope you fine folks may offer suggestions and contacts to help this new guy along.

Thanks to all of you in advance. Looking forward to this new adventure in the vintage Wheel Horse world.

Welcome to the Forum.

My suggestion is to use the search bar (or google with “wheelhorseforum” in your search) to scan some old threads and posts in your areas of interest. That way, you’ll start to get a feel for the place and be able to join right in. 

(Being a more reticent fellow, I lurked for about eight months before I worked up the gumption to start replying and posting 😉).

Just acquired a barn find B-115 from my Dad, Engine started first time although the silencer is straight through. Only thing missing is a mower deck, still trying to get it back in shape, its an old baby which my dad loved so well and thats one major reason i joined the forum, to get more parts and ideas to get this baby running again.

it is a barn-find Wheel Horse B-115 tractor. It’s an older garden tractor from the early 1980s, and although it has clearly been sitting for quite some time, it still has a lot of potential.
