Another "what is it?" question, or maybe a mutt

[dtallon 320]

I have been considering trying a WH hydro.  I apparently struck out on a local 1075 I had a line on.  Sounded like a good deal and a nice tractor, but couldn't match schedules with the guy before I left for a long weekend trip.  Guy said no problem, I'll wait till you get back.  I got back, and now three weeks and several left voicemails have gone by with no call back. CL ad is still out there.     Oh well, time to move on. 

 

A different tractor has been lingering on CL for a while and the price has dropped to near the range where I would consider it.  I plan to call the guy to get more details, but wanted to have the experts take a look and see what they see.  The ad just gives the bare minimum.  "Wheel Horse tractor with blade, engine runs." I can see from the picture it has hydraulic lift and is an auto drive.  Any guesses on how many different vintages of 'horse parts are on this one?  Badge on tank looks like maybe a Bronco 14 (?), with newer hood and an older 10 or 12 HP Kohler with a S/G setup. Obviously the seat is wrong.  Any other observations?

It looks in good shape and had hydro lift, engine and hood swaps seem to be common but the paint all matches as far as fading.  Judging by the pallets and other parts laying around he may have combined two tractors to get one running and salable.  Ya never know he may have the rest of the donor tractor hiding in the weeds somewhere, or maybe he just bought it that way.
