My second Wheel Horse Tractor

It looks to me like the motion control lever is going to be a bit unhandy. especially if it

will not hold position when running.

Nice score!

The hydro control does take a bit to get use to. But if you don't like it you can either install the 75 and up handle or a foor control.

If its slipping while in use, thats just a adjustment, which is fairly easy.

I actually prefer that style of motion control. Probably because my first Horse was a 14 Auto with that style of shifter. I used that for 4 years before my second horse came along, and I've never been able to get used to the (auto) shifter being anywhere else.

As Refracman said, you can tighten up the tension on it fairly easily if you need to.

Thanks guys. Martin is not to far away from me and when I get her home he will give it a good inspection.

Cant wait to get the tank replaced and get her running. (Thanks Mike :bow-blue: )

I am leaving the shop now to head to the local mall. The annual tractor show is on and our fallen heroes memorial is on display.

will be on line there and upload some tractor photos.

That is in really pretty good shape. Even the seat looks good and those are hard to find in that condition. I had one of those that was really nice when I sold it. With a tiller, snow blade and disc ( I have been wanting one of those) looks like a nice pick up. :thumbs:

very nice tractor terry. you should be able to recoup your costs by selling the tiller, clevis hitch & discs, heck you might end up with a FREE tractor! if you were closer i'd be interested in the tiller. Jay

Sweet purchase, and it has the disc that I have been dreaming of and a tiller. Looks like a garden is in your future. Enjoy that one!

Nice score, a hydro will spoil you once you get used to it. Makes you wonder why you enjoyed rowing the gears. The only time a hydro can get tiresome is long duration at a plowing event. They need more constant adjustment to deal with varying ground conditions whereas a gear drive you pick the best gear for the condition and sit back for the ride. However for mowing, snow removal, i prefer a hydro drive. I find that I can ease her started when backing up and not slip a tire as easily as I did with a gear drive. Less scratches in the concrete and less wear on my chains. Congrats on the score!! Mike
