WH Radio. WH push lawn mower. I've seen a walk behind leaf blower with WH tags on it. The snowmobiles were actually Sno-Flite machines, badge engineered. But there were literally hundreds of those back in the 60's. Fellow I know has a WH branded 12v battery charger. Looks like the average old Schumacher design. 

It seems a lot of the walk behind stuff was built off the old framework of REO. Of course, WH bought them. The Trail-Blazer snowblower is just a REO, as was the Lawn Skiff, and the push mower.

I saw a 3kw generator on craigslist a few months ago.

There are all sorts of trinkets with wheel horse branding.  Tire pressure gauges, clocks, thermometers, lighters, even toy trucks.

On the note of snowmobiles, that reminds me. There were WH utility trailers too.

I actually think it would be odd for a lawn equipment company to not make a trailer in their brand.

 

Look at what some goobers pay for a basic $50 plastic lawn trailer just because it has a green tub and yellow wheels instead of being Model T black.

No, not that sort of trailer. I mean a road-use trailer. They were flat-body units built by SnowCo.

Love the lawn chair seat, but what are the spark plugs on the dash for?

Probably all the spares needed to finish one single trip, knowing how those old 2 stroke Kohlers could be.. My Safari was a miserable machine to be honest. I'd like to find another one and re-power it with a K series, as some 60's Arctic Cat's were. 

 

On that note, I was talking with a like-minded fellow at work, who seems to remember his father having a pair of WH logo folding chairs. Anyone seen these? Says it was about 1965-70.

You should go get that if it’s still available. I’ve never seen one in the flesh and have been into this stupid hobby for 30 years.  

 

Only one I’ve ever known of for sale was in Rolling Prairie, IN a couple years ago.  I’m sure there are quite a few of them out there, but they don’t seem to turn up very often.  Maybe they were small enough to get thrown away when they died.  

 

From around 1986 or so.  It might have been a rebadged MacLane like their walk behind vac mowers and sidewalk edgers from the same era were.

Not produced by Wheel Horse but I have the only :wh: bi-plane /bird feeder in existence. A retired Korean War pilot made this for me on my birthday about 5 years ago. He used to work part time for my brother and I met him at a dinner one night. He builds these custom feeders for his friends and we talked about planes for a few hours. A week later this plane is on my doorstep when I got home from work. It's hanging over my desk at home. I added the Snoopy! :)
