I don't have any answers for you but I wanted to say welcome to Red Square and that you have a fascinating machine.

 

Perhaps some of our European counterparts could chime in.

@Tractorhead Stefan

 Not me Eric. Westwood made a ride on mower with a Lombardini diesel engine. Stefan might know more.

Wheel Horse did manufacture many garden tractors in Belgium.  Some of them were identical to the ones made in the USA and some were not. It may have been the equivalent of the 1974 D-180 with locally sourced engine and some sheet-metal from another model. Of course previous owners could have made changes over the years.

Download this manual and see if it is similar to your tractor.

I don't see anything that looks like a Wheel Horse with exception of the top section of hood and some body butchered it to clear the air filter. 

 

Closest thing I can find is a Gutbrod 2350 D

Welcome to RedSqare Thomas,

 

i didn‘t know that Tractor as it is, but Lombardini Engines are known to me.

 

Lombardini was founded in italy and 1999 sold to Kohler Company.

They where often used as Boat engines, as Generator Engines and also in several Gardentractors.

They also be used in 2 Wheelers from Gutbrod Brand, (puma 900 i.eg.) 

after sale to Kohler, i remember to see a Gutbrod Gardentractor with an lombardini 2 Cyl. Engine Diesel.

 

If i see right on your pict‘s, the Engine was a swap, because of the Hood- cut by the Airfilter.

 

Added:

because of comparing, it seems to me it was a Gutbrod Brand „upgraded to be a Wheel Horse“

or maybe a customized Tractor.

At a closer look it seems a Gutbrod Superior 1032 or similar.

That model number brings up nothing I can find. Sure resembles a D series or a Gutbrod though.

Isn’t one of your previcious suggestions. The great difference between them al is the shifting mechanical. Mine is a h- pattern with 1 shifting lever on top of the gearbox(between the legs) .

i really thank al of you for searching with me.

So are Wheel Horses except hy-dro's.  The rear end looks Gutbrod to me, with the angled mudguards/fenders.

Not so experienced in wheel horse. Still young thoug. Is iT possible the gearbox and levers are wheel horse. And other things like mudguards and engine?

 Take photo's of as much as you can. Each side, rear, front of chassis, steering, dash etc. Pictures speak a thousand words.

How many gears do you have? The sheet metal and rear wheels look right.

I would guess Low and High range so 6 forward and 2 reverse. Could be a Wheel Horse transmission is it belt drive?

Gutbrod built the D-250 for Wheel Horse so they could have bought transmissions from Wheel Horse.
