Anyone know why this says “used”? After the number?

Did Wheel Horse had a secondhandsprogram you see lots of car-brands have now?

It’s off what I believe to be an 18 Automatic, 1973

Just guessing but maybe dealers re-selling trade ins of used tractors could re-tag them??? Especially if it was originally sold by a different dealer? Maybe?

Definitely an interesting tag

Always figured that was on a model that stayed at the plant for R&D. The tractor was a new model to them at that time.

Click on the fuzzy picture in the link.

Here was another one

Also looks like the number above it was engraved by hand with an engraving tool.

 

Would really like to know the true story behind it.

I wondered about that too. 

 

I'm fairly new to the Wheelhorse game but that's not something I remember seeing yet. 

 

 

Perhaps a Demo?

Did they have those?

I will try to clean it up a little bit today and see if I can read it better.

 

A demo model sounds feasible, then perhaps engraved once sold.

I found this other picture of a similar tag with hand engraving.  This was on an older post found here:

Cool stuff either way!  No real answer here… I haven’t ever seen one.

Looks like 159 stamped and a 1-0600 engraved.
