linen beige 14 #30 Posted December 17, 2010 the tag is square with a hole in the middle on the top it reads wheelhorse and below that it reads ser. noand the# is below that The early '61s used engine control lever cover plates left over from '60. These plates had serial numbers stamped into them for the '60 models. Wheel Horse cut off the bottom portion of these plates since they no longer needed the part that covered the levers and fastened them to the hoodstand. When these parts ran out they switched to decals. Given the late '60 transmission casting number you have, your serial number, the cast clutch pedal, the hood stand with hole, hood style, and a couple other clues I'd say it's a pretty safe bet you have a '61 that has been fitted with '60 foot rests.

evanloock 217 #31 Posted December 17, 2010 Definitely a 401. Also the 401 did not have the footrests as standard equipment. They were an option. I am sure the dealer/factory had some 60 footrests left over and installed the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcb857 161 #33 Posted December 18, 2010 Thank you to everyone that posted on this post. I learned so much and hope to keep on learning about these fine machines. The knowlege that all of the red square members have and share is amazing. I feel confident that I can call this tractor a 401 with some left over parts from a 400.
