66856 0 #1 Posted March 20, 2009 i have a 1966 856 and i have been tryin to get the blade on but keep hittin a brick wall... any help would be greatly appreciated! Attached Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #2 Posted March 20, 2009 :thumbs: Glad you could join us! The 856 was a horizontal shaft engine. But that looks like a vertical shaft plow. And that sticker graphics is from the late 80's, maybe 90's..... Of course tractors and attachments get re-decaled all the time. Now I have an original 1966 snow plow for my 656 and it looks completely different. I could try to post a picture of it later if you want. I cannot imagine they would use different style plows for those models of tractors. If it still has it's model and serial number tag....we can tell you more about it. Just post the numbers here.

past7971 0 #3 Posted March 20, 2009 I imagine you are!!!! Might have a Wheel Horse decal on it but I'm baffled by what it came off of. I'm sure with enough "determination" you could figure out a way to use it but I think your better off to find the right one for your tractor. Should have an"A" shaped frame that attaches with hitch/clamp on rear axle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
past7971 0 #4 Posted March 20, 2009 What do you think TDB---Maybe off the 200-series lawn tractor??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #5 Posted March 20, 2009 It looks like a late 80's to early 90's "Maroon" stripe vertical engine plow. (If the decal is original) And there will be folks here who love the maroon stripe wheel horses.... They most likely would be interested in it. And the wheel horse horizontal engine plows are easily aquired (depending on your location). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
66856 0 #6 Posted March 20, 2009 the numbers on it are 1642bl01 50509 if its the wrong one id be more than happy to trade or sell if anyone is interested. i live in il. thanks for all the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #7 Posted March 20, 2009 Yes it is a 1989 42" wheel horse snow blade. There were no parts list for it on partstree.com but the site did list it. Toro site needs a valid serial number. And did they change their site? Does not seem as user friendly as before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
66856 0 #8 Posted March 20, 2009 damn... well thanks for the help. . . is it possible to make that one work or am i best off getting a dif. one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
past7971 0 #9 Posted March 20, 2009 That helps--Model 16-42BL01 comes back as a 1989 year blade. Will fit 208, 211, 212 tractors. Does NOT show working on 252, 257's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
past7971 0 #10 Posted March 20, 2009 66856--If it were my call, I'd think you'll be MUCH happier getting the right one to fit. Place picture of yours with above info and your location in the classifieds section here and see what happens.You should be able to find the right one for hopefully $50-$100 including rear hitch/bracket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #11 Posted March 20, 2009 Too late Paul! If you could find an "A" frame from another plow you could get that one to work with minor modifications. But chances are if you found the frame.....it would have a plow already attached and you would be all set....lol You will also need the quick attach hitch that mounts on the rear axle for the other plow. A tractor swap meet or show is your best bet to find one. Or someone on here might be able to sell you one. Or.....there is a swap meet and show in Auburn Indiana starting today thru sunday. Not sure how ambitious that might sound to you? lol And then there is Craigslist or Ebay. Let me know if I can be of further help. p.s. Just to let you know? That blade you have is not as common as the others with an A frame.... You might get a good price for it at a swap meet or on craigslist.....lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
past7971 0 #12 Posted March 20, 2009 I try TDB but I dont know whats slower--trying to get my brain engaged or my "search & stab" typing ability :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
66856 0 #13 Posted March 20, 2009 how much should i ask for at the swap? im pretty new at this stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldandred 15 #14 Posted March 20, 2009 how much should i ask for at the swap? im pretty new at this stuff 66856 what part of the us are you in ?? Ive got a new a fram with out blade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #15 Posted March 20, 2009 I think he already said he is from Illinois. I bet you could get $125-$150 for that plow. Polish her up! I think I would keep it in it's original condition and don't try to make something work. You can usually pick up an A-frame plow for $50 to $100. Now the 60's A-frame plows had a trip lever deal. I have never used mine....so don't know of any problems with getting a newer A-frame plow to work on your 856. There is also going to be a "wheel horse" swap meet in Mentone Indiana. It is closer to you than the Auburn show. There is the place to sell yours and possibly pick up the right one for your tractor. And meet some new friends....lol Show is April 18th all day.....(see the general shows section of posts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
