Gene_S 93 #1 Posted May 6, 2010 At the Mentone swap meet another RS member had this tractor there for sale, I just had to have it. I've looked at a couple other 1045 and I really like this model. I've done a couple small thing since I got it this past monday but nothing major. The motor purrs like a kitten! Now I just need to land some front tires... Thanks for looking!

Gene_S 93 #10 Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks guys!!! Scott, you think my little touches will make it look good??? Ya Kelly it is pretty good shape... Steering is a touch loose and for some reason the front tires arnt straight with each other. Looks like different tie rods had been installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYRedNeck 4 #16 Posted May 11, 2010 Looks GREAT Gene!!! I have a extra set of the 1045 front tires, but I'm not sure if I want to part with them yet... Bell, Can you post a photo of the original front tires please? Would love to see what they look like the thread as well as the sidewalls. When I purchsed my 1045, it came with another set, just wondering if they were the originals. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjr 0 #17 Posted May 19, 2010 I have one of those sitting in my garage (wife is not happy as this is my 3rd). It's from my Father. The one I mowed the grass down to the dirt with when I was 13 and it was new. I have a long way to go to bring it back. Starting with the motor. Dad replaced the Kohler 10 HP with a Tecumseh 8HP and cut a hole in the hood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene_S 93 #18 Posted May 20, 2010 Bob, not sure who grant is... You might have me mixed up with him... rjr, the hood isn't a big deal. I passed on a 10hp motor at Portland that was $45... Needed rebuilt. NYRedNeck, here is what the tires are supposed to look like http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=1218 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
