I have the old ones all the way to the 161 twin auto that I honestly only put a bunch of bolts in (I didn't realize that it was missing all but two crank end bolts and it still ran) and i still use a B-81 to mow with! I love that thing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCloud 52 #13 Posted April 25, 2020 Thanks so much for the welcomes!! One of my first jobs was working for a Wheel Horse dealer/lawn and garden center. And I finally got one!! It was a major score. Came from a collector that had 62, yes 62 Wheel Horse tractors. He used this one to mow a 1/4 acre. No smoke, fires right up, runs like a champ. Got it for $350!!!!! And as a bonus, my wife, who never cuts the grass told me to get off so she could run it!! She loves it too!! 4 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McCloud 52 #14 Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) It is so basic and simple and it is an absolute monster. Just for kicks I hooked up my yard roller and cut and rolled at the same time. I didn’t even have to use the “low side”. It’s a little (not so little) torque beast. Edited April 25, 2020 by McCloud 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 10,251 #15 Posted April 25, 2020 Sounds like you may have to find another one eventually. They do multiply quickly. Good Luck with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time to make more room in the barn.... Yeah ya best have a talk. A hair covered horse is a herd animal. For some reason paint covered horses appear to be the same. And be careful about where you park them for the night as well. They multiply on their own..... 1 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 10,251 #20 Posted April 25, 2020 I started out with 1 and never thought that I would need any more than that and look what happened. I can't take credit for 2 of them , the first 2 in the row on the left belong to another member on here @ebinmaine and this is small potatoes compared to the 40 or 50 or whatever other members on here own. Your in big trouble now. HaHaHa You want pics your WH brothers have them. 3 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
