Brent Fabian 57 #1 Posted June 7, 2019 starting today, both of my grandfathers wheel Horse tractors are now mine! My brother had the more beat up one, and he got it running with a Honda GX160, swapped the pulleys to go fast, broke 3rd gear in the trans kind of, and parked it in his garage for 3 years. After we cleaned out his garage and rediscovered it, I made an offer to take it from him since he wasn't using it for anything anymore. He agreed on the condition that he keeps the motor, so now I have a wheel horse with no engine! Its very beat up, and it pops out of third gear, but it is all there with the exception of the sector gear, which ive heard are notorious for stripping out. I'll have to rig something to work, but can't wait to build this! My plan is to take the 79cc from my other one and put it on here and build it into a rat rod style tractor. you'll see that eventually! also took another photo of my other 400, if you have questions about any of them, feel free to ask! 6 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
