1968 wheel horse correction vin number 1-0400-6 a 1971

[upstate yank 219]

well guys it is true collecting these find old horses is a disease as i have been chatting with a guy from the Kansas city Kansas area CORRECTION HERE  according to the vin numbers 1-0400-6 it is a 1971 not a 1968 as i mentioned   it is a charger 12 automatic for sale for 200.00 ' and i told my shelf no more as 7 is enough ;so yesterday i took the ride from which is in the Springfield mo area to his home ;well lets be real here as a 2 plus hour drive one way and not bring it back would be really foolish ;plus the seller told me if it didn't sell off to the junk yard 

so on the back of the truck it went ;heck i figure if any thing the original 2 piece seat and the hub caps were worth the price ;plus all of the wheel horse catalogs; 

yes it does need some tinkering such as a battery as i tried today to charge it today checked the points and the plug which were good ;then i tried the key that didn't come with it but i have spares for a kohler .it wouldn't  fit plus i tried the key for my charger 10 which is the Tecumseh motor still wouldn't work so i think the key is busted off inside which another key switch will work'the seller told me it hasn't been started in over 2 years ;but i noticed the switch for the electric clutch is as well busted so how can he say it works or even runs with out the key to start it ;the choke cable and the throttle need to be changed as froze up ;but again i figure for the price i didn't go wrong ;the caps will clean up ;though i am not sure if  want to sell them yet ;anyways here are the pictures of my horse that makes 8 now ;oh the deck is really junk but the wheels and rollers come in handy plus the spindles if they are good ;check it out ;

and i forgot to mention that all of the tin is there as well ;the foot rest;side cover for the belt and the motor tins ;

yes i thought it was a good buy even with the minor issues ;the front tires are good other than the right front as it has cracks and flat but i have another set to replace them 'though i could keep air but not sure till i add air to see if it stays up'but again i think i did good even with the seat and the caps 'the seller told me if it didn't sell it was off to the scrap yard now be real here you will get screwed plus if you sold it for parts it is more tan the price you want';so now it is in with the other horses i have in the garage and it will in time run like a champ
