hellow every.. one i am new to the sight and new to wheel horse tractors. Big fan of them, always thought a tractor should be red. lawn mowers are green. any way i bought a new to me 516h made in 88 but bought as new in 90 left over. one owner for 20 years and this man was pretty anal about his things and the tractor looks 2 years not 20. that is the good unless you count the dozer blade grader blade the plow the grader box and mower deck as a plus i doo... here is the bad other than first post the tractor is not even off the back of the truck yet and it allready has a flat tire and the motion controll lever broke off the first time i touched it. things can only get better huh?

Hello and I can see a flat but the lever?,very uncommon to break,Rick

thanks rick. yes it would seem not likely but it did ,looks to me like vibration over the years cracked the bracket and my hand being not what it was use to just broke off. should be an easy fix. $109 for a new one ouch i know huh?

i think i can make a new one for a few dollars and some weld .

Hi, Rick!

First off, ! Glad to have you among us!

Now as to the "problems" with your new tractor, sounds like they're pretty fixable and you got yourself a great machine!

One important thing around here......

I'm with Duff, Full Blown Slobber wouldn't even begin to cover it. Not a bad score for the first Wheel Horse. You might as well let the better half know that isn't the last Wheel Horse that you will have. They are kind of addicting to say the least. Congrats on the Horse and Good Luck. See Ya, Bye Burly
