I think that horizontal shaft is more reliable than vertical shaft. Got a couple old wheel horses my self and I find them to be the most reliable lawn tractors that I've ever owned

Guys I wanted to thank everyone for their input.  I've decided against the tractor that started this thread.  That's the bad news.  The good news is I've settled on a Wheel Horse of some type.  Trying to find a rig that will fit my budget and get the job done (with help from the full size tractor when needed).  Lots of good suggestions in this thread and elsewhere here.  

 

Once again, thanks for the help.  Hopefully I'll be posting back here in the not too distant future to show off my new tractor.  Thankfully looks like this latest storm will pass to the South of us.  That'll buy me a bit more time.  

 

Cheers,

Peter

      4' plow and 48" deck/blower/bagger for Toro WH 5xi
      By DeltaNu1142
      I bought a 5xi package yesterday including some attachments I'm not going to need:
      4' plow, model # 79355 - in great condition, very minor surface rust on crossmember and back side of blade. $250 48" mower deck with blower and bagger - in good condition, working when removed from tractor yesterday. Previous owner said it never clogged on him. Some surface rust on deck and one 2" hole near the center. $300.  
      I'm open to offers and interested in trades! I'm looking for a 2-stage snow thrower, p/n 79366. Maybe tools, etc.
       
      Available for pickup--let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!





       
      Here's a photo of the deck that's included. It's got some rust holes, but functions perfectly. Most of the price here is wrapped up in the blower & bagger:

      1981 GT2500 Snowthrower Models
      By dave who poos
      Hello!
       
      I am looking for any and all snowthrowers that will work on my GT2500. I am trying to find one off FB marketplace but no one ever really posts the model number. Usually just the length. So I look for 42'' throwers but I don't know what will fit. A local seller has this for sale:
       
      He says its 42 but unaware the model, the Wheelhorse logo looks to be from the late 60's/early 70's? It looks like the below thrower:
       

       
      My question is if that thrower year/model will fit the GT2500. It looks pretty dang simple but I'm not sure. Someone mentioned something about the right size "Quick-hitch" in another post.

      67 Lawn Ranger Mower Deck Blades
      By MSBiker
      Well it looks like I'm out of luck. I have been looking for blades for my Lawn Ranger and having zero luck. I have tried Wheel Horse part numbers 7908, 7909. Toro part numbers 8777, and 53322 and no one has anything like this. I was thinking about doing a cut down, but finding right hand and left hand blades seems to be the problem. 
      Anyone making blades, constructing blades, got a work around, etc? My blades are usable, but that is about it.
