953 nut 60,405 #2 Posted February 24, 2019 Wes, you have come to the right place. To find the foot rests you should start with an ad in our Classified https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/wanted/?do=form&d=2 That sounds like an impressive herd of horses you have there, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheelhorse Wes 279 #13 Posted February 24, 2019 Thanks everyone for the welcoming......I live in a small town called Strathroy up here in Ontario Canada....some of you might know the big wheelhorse collectors R&B wheelhorse stables in Forest Ontario. Roy and Betty have known me since I was a kid(34now),,,,I started with my 1960 suburban I got from a family friend, growing up every time we would visit them I would sit on it in the corner of their old garden and pretend to steer. When they were moving he gave it to me. I was 14 . When I was in grade 10 I took every piece to high school (minus the frame and transmission) in my backpack and sandblasted it in shop class. My dad painted it. Roy was so impressed that a young guy was interested in wheelhorse. since that time I’ve restored that suburban again but up to the standards of Roy’s wheelhorses. heres the list of my collection gentleman.... 1959 Rj, 60 suburban 400(restored), 61 suburban 401 almost restored( just have to paint the hood),,,,702, 753, 953, 854, 1054x2, 1054A, 500 special( middle of restoring it), a commando 8, C-120 that had a little fire under the hood. Was restored 3 years ago by someone else but I bought it cheap for $150 because it was burnt, I’m going to repaint what needs to be done and all new wiring then sell it. It runs like a top, and I also have a 655 parts tractor plus I’ve got a C100 and 875 all in parts for sale. ive also got non wheelhorse tractors too. (2)64 65 66 67 John Deere 110 round fenders and a 67 112 round fender, a 69 Minneapolis moline 108 and a restored 1974 ford lgt 100. My 67 John Deere 110 round fender is completely restored with a restored Johnson model 10 loader. and gentleman when I restored these couple I’ve done every speck of paint comes off and new stainless steel bolts used. My theory is ya restore right the first time. Will post pictures if I can figure how. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheelhorse Wes 279 #15 Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) The mower deck on my suburban 400 is actually off of a 61 suburban it’s not restored yet ....the above pictures are the before and after pictures......the before picture at the top I took off the net but my tractor was just as bad sitting in an old garden. I don’t have a original picture of what it looked like back 20+ years ago Edited February 24, 2019 by Wheelhorse Wes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
