JayMartin 3 #1 Posted October 23, 2013 Growing up dad always had a 196x's Wheel Horse he'd use to drag things around the property. I always thought that thing was bada**. Now I have a place of my own and got sucked into a deal, sight unseen, on craigslist and I'm hoping I have made the right decision. I am paying $325 for 2 mowers. The seller said the one that runs is the one that fits the snow plow but I have no idea which one that would be either. Hopefully this will end up being a fun winter project to take up some recently cleaned space in the garage. Appreciate any advice or guesses on what years these are. All feedback appreciated. Glad to join the forum. Jay 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 52,938 #2 Posted October 23, 2013 For $325 you done good. The rear end of one of them will have a bracket that the snow plow attaches to. I would guess it will be the one with the starter/generator. The seller should have warned you, these are addictive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,547 #3 Posted October 23, 2013 that was a very good price! Looks like maybe you have a b80 and a commando 8 or 867? Can't say for sure from the pictures. The hubcaps on what looks like a commando are pretty hard to find...if they clean up nice they can be worth a good chunk of money to a collector...so take care of them....they are pretty cool to find!

Sparky-(Admin) 19,872 #4 Posted October 23, 2013 I bet the plow fits the B-80 4 speed(the one with the taller seat). Not sure what the other one is. I think you'll be happy! Mike........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

i967mustang 21 #6 Posted October 23, 2013 What does the tag on the side say? just under the gas tank. that would tell you what they are and for more info you would need to post serial numbers and model numbers. There should be a tag either on the left side of the tractor under the gas tank support or under the dash right in front of the shifter. Nice looking tractors . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glgrumpy 35 #7 Posted October 23, 2013 Can't see the decals under tank for model, but was kinda thinking B-80 for at least one. the one with shroud on gen belt, not sure. One seems to have oversize front tires. I would think the plow would fit either tractor, but you would need to have the rear mount on the rear axle to slide it into. These are easy to work on, parts everywhere, and they steer nicer than many other old brands and cab maneuver tite spots easily. Check points and clean carb and I bet they run fine.

Wheel-N-It 2,967 #8 Posted October 23, 2013 You did good for $325. I could not have walked away from that, and I'm not in the market for any other LAGT's now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,316 #9 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Nice find for sure. That snow blade is going to fit on the horse without the running boards. The lever that changes the blade angle on the plow will not clear the running boards on the B80. BTW...Welcome to Red Square... After looking at the pictures again...if you turn that handle around (so it sticks out a little farther) and change the pull lever to the other side of the handle...it may work on your B80. I did that with my B100...I have to reach a little, but it works. It is not right, but it works. Edited October 23, 2013 by stevasaurus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
