Any idea what model or anything? I have no idea what it is. Should i go buy it for 200 bucks? I have plenty of cash in the toy fund and wouldnt mind pushing snow with it. Just wNted to make sure its a genuine wheel horse lol

  It’s a WH for sure...with plenty of custom (or homemade)parts. Like the hood, the belt guard, the exhaust etc. motor probably isn’t original to any Wheel Horse either. Not to mention that plow....def not a Wheel Horse plow.

  I would hang onto my $200 and keep up the search for a plow machine

@Jhook when I look at a machine that needs a ton of work or isn't running I imagine as a best case parts machine to be disassembled and parts sold individually. 

If you remove the parts that aren't Wheelhorse you're left with a frame, transmission and likely some steering stuff. 

Actual value?

I don't know.... It's not a  $200 tractor unless you can salvage $200 worth of parts from it. 

 

That's NOT a machine I'd use to plow here in Maine even on a light snow. 

Not being able to change the plow from the seat is well past practical.

@AMC RULES that hood looks absolutely spectacular. 

 

I agree that the decals have now been made "in need of replacement" by your excellent work.

Especially once that hood is polished back to it's original high luster. Ty Eric, nice of you to say.

I think its a 502 model. From some quick research. Also thinking of putting a predator in it. The briggs in it now runs fine. Should be a fun project. I have my 315-8 for a real plow machine as well

Predator have their place but I'm a fan of old iron. If the Briggs is good I'd run it.

Briggs is good. Need a hood and belt cover at the least. Luckily it didn't start on scene so that helped knock the price down. Brought it to the nearest gas station and got it started before i got on the highway to go home😂

Just would change the Hood itself

and reroute the Exhaust to fit a original hood.

 

keep the rest as it is, it‘s unique.

She (the 62' as confirmed by a buddy) shall be called the franken-horse as @AMC RULES called it. Motor is out, it runs, needs carb work, and its pretty beat. I have a 212 anyways so i set it on there to see. If i do use it i will remove the predator gas tank and tuck the motor under the factory tank.

I checked the oil and filled the gas tank.  Going to need to get more rec gas and Sea Foam later this  week.

 

Since the tractor was ready to go, the sun was out, and the leaves were reasonably dry, I went ahead and munched the leaves.  There are enough leaves on the ground now, that the best mulching method seems to be to make a pass in reverse, then run over them again in 2 low.
