Red horse green horn 21 #1 Posted February 21, 2020 So i just bought my first wheel horse. I have no idea what model it is and I'm trying to find any information I can. I was told initially it was an RJ but Im positive it isn't just from pics. It has a wisconsin single cylinder engine. I don't know if they put these in stock. It's in pieces.

WHNJ701 4,162 #8 Posted February 22, 2020 somebody posted about this same tractor a few weeks ago, I think it was determined it was a homebuilt with many different parts, the hood is awesome some one had some skills 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red horse green horn 21 #9 Posted February 22, 2020 So a homemade wheel horse? Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 62,359 #10 Posted February 22, 2020 Looks like a Wheelhorse frame as well. Certainly a VERY well done construction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red horse green horn 21 #11 Posted February 22, 2020 The engine and other parts are in the back of my pick up. Came with a belly blade and a mower deck and a tiller that doesn't fit it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like there isn't much to be had though You'll still be able to get info even if it isn't strictly Wheelhorse. Lots of inherent knowledge amongst the members will help you get that beauty up and cooking. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,018 #18 Posted February 22, 2020 There is enough DNA in that Frankenhorse to make it and you a part of the family. The reel mower in your picture is hard to come by, great find. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red horse green horn 21 #19 Posted February 22, 2020 Thanks. I'll have to dig into it and see how much of it may be wheel horse or other. I picked it up dirt cheap so it's no big deal. Only makes finding parts more interesting. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,404 #21 Posted February 22, 2020 Bought had a heart attack here.. Wisconsin and in the same sentence = Senior. Good luck with your tractor Red. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,162 #22 Posted February 22, 2020 post some detail pics of it when you have chance, would like see how the grill was made Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 8,770 #23 Posted February 22, 2020 Post some more pictures of that hydraulic pump under the dash. It sort of looks like a Hein Weir pump which is common to WH, but it looks like someone has added a larger upper reservoir or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZXT 2,394 #24 Posted February 22, 2020 Somebody finally bought it! I saw it listed and saw a thread on it here - it is certainly an extremely interesting machine, even if it is made of a ton of different tractors. I'm genuinely curious as to what it started out as. Wisconsin's are good engines. It should be a good worker. The hood is definitely home made, but someone did an extremely good job on the lettering. Glad you posted about it! Keep us updated. I know a number of us are intrigued by it. We're glad to have you here! Ask anything you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
