Wheel Horse Ads

Recommended Posts

Shuboxlover

Does anyone know if Wheel Horse advertised in magazines back in the day.....the reason I ask is I have a bunch of old magazine articles from 1956 that depicts my 56 Chevy. I have them displayed and it's neat to see the old advertisements.

I was kind of wanting to do the same thing with Wheel Horse, but didn't know if they advertised in mags or not...when I'm in antique stores I always look but never see any.

In particular I would be interested in 1976 C-160 and 1982 Work Horse GT-1642, but any advertisement would be cool.

Thanks

What magazines were they in? Or were they strictly limited to local news print ads?

I remember seeing them in the Popular Mechanics back in the mid fifties, early sixties and undoubtly even later than that. I came across a collection of Popular Mechanics. They even had adverisements in there for the Pond tractors. Like Kelly said just watch ebay. Thats all I know for now. See ya, Bye Burly

Yes, My father bought a new Work Horse GT1600 in 1984 and I have the sales Brochure and a couple of the magazines you are talking about..I can't remember much about them now..and I have them all put away..I have all the sale paper from when dad bought the tractor..He let me have all the stuff when I got the tractor from him..

Hey Shuboxlover I put 'Popular Mechanic 1950' in google and came up with a scrolling page by page look at all the magazines. I guess you could put what ever year you want to check out for ads. Lots of good reading articles also.........

I played around a little and found you can type in the year, go to that page and then type in wheel horse in the search and get all the ads and articles about the tractors....

Some magazines that I've collected ads from over various years.

Popular Mechanics

Popular Science

Popular Gardening

Organic Gardening

Flower Grower

The Family Handyman

Life

National Geographic

The Rotarian

Local dealers would have been responsible for running their own local newspaper ads.

A lot of these ads can be seen in the Literature and Memorabilia gallery.

there is also a place to post articles and such, tucked in with the tractor photo's library. Check it out and if you find any you can post them there. B)
