Picked up a few Wheel Horses and have Q's!

[WheelHorse50 10]

Well I went for a roadtrip today to pick up a few Wheel horses to add to my growing herd. The first one was a 1965 WH 875. It appears because of the chrome strip and the chrome plates on the hood that this must have been a special edition for some reason. If anybody knows anything about that please let me know. I also noticed on the 875 that there was a decal with checkered flags saying Powered By Kohler. Just an idea. Thanks for any replies in advance!

The second one I picked up was an 857. I didn't notice anything special about it just the big headlights

Both appear to have been altered or customized by a previous owner.

The chrome is not factory, the steering wheel on the 875 is for a later tractor, and the plow on it or under it looks to be a modified suburban plow from the early 60's, also not for that tractor, I don't see the Kohler decal, both look like good starts.

i believe the decal with checkered flags was for the 500 special or one of those

nice pair saved from possibly going to scrap

The checkered flag Kohler decal was associated with snowmobile engines.

I saw those tractors on Craigslist and hope you didn't pay what they were asking for them. :disgust:

I will try to get them cleaned up a little and get some better pictures when I get time and TT I did not pay full price.

Nice wheelhorses you got there! Make them in running condition and keep the weathered look, it would look cool on a show next to one that is restored!
