Wheelhorse Dealer memorabilia!

Recommended Posts

bottjernat1

I wanted to start a thread on everyone's Old and New Wheelhorse/Toro memorabilia! Whatever folks may have big signs,little signs,key chains,decals,manuals,photos you name it! The key chain and reo manuals are from an old man who lived right down the road on 1000e in kendallville from my late dad. The old man moved to Florida and his house and barn got demolished. The little sign is from scott melburg (im sure i spelled his last name wrong) which a few of you might know. The add is for my rj58 i restored it is an original add. And the photo is of the old Wheelhorse dealer in kendallville indiana which the building is still in use but not as a dealer. I am trying to get more photos from dean colter son but haven't gotten any yet!

Great idea for a thread.

  That dealership looks cool B) ! Love that it’s in a huge Quonset Hut.

  I’ll have to dig thru the couple items I have and get pictures.

See the old well new wheelhorses there a bit hard to see in the photo. That dealer is where my 953 came from new

Here's 3 items I had on the shelf. The coffee cup was handed to me when I walked in to Highway 19 Sales in Elkhart. I don't remember where the ink pen came from but likely the same place. The keys were on the fob when I purchased my 1976 new at Chandler. :)

I received a care package today from my sister and this hat was inside. Her note said that when she found it, she knew exactly where it belonged.

 

So almost 5 years ago, my dad lost his battle with cancer which is how I got my '89 520-H. It had been his for at least15 years previous. During the early - mid 1980's, he had worked at my grandfather's (his father-in-law) WH dealership (Gordon R. Morris and Sons in Barton, NY) while he was laid off from his job. I always remember this hat being around and him wearing it while doing outside jobs in the winter, so I would have to think that it came from my grandfather's dealership when he worked there 35+ years ago.

Got this package in the mail today from one of my buddies back east. This was from by grandfather's dealership. I believe they got these hats made around 1989. My uncle still owns and operates (and my buddy works for him) the business as a Toro dealership, just under a different.
