Still running my dads 1971 Bronco 14. The electric pto clutch went out a few years ago so I converted it to manual. Other than that, it’s original. It still operates as it did when I mowed with it as a kid over 30 years ago. What a great machine.
My great grandfather sold wheelhorse tractors in the 60s . I loved mowing his yard with his 1963 wheelhorse
That 14 really was a hoss,I grew up on a B-80 8 speed,Beautiful Tractor.
Excellent. 1974 B80 4 speed was my first one here a few years ago.
Loved them Wheel Horse tractors. Used to own three of them back in the 80's a good durable machine.
Wow, never had one of those beauties, but I sure would love one. Mr. Gary Fleckenstein has a wonderful machine there, Thanks.👍
Absolutely wonderful to see a classic Wheelhorse!!!
I like that blade.
That's a fairly rare Implement that's in high demand nowadays. Mid Mount Grader. We have one on a 1967 867. Works excellent. Might be videos in my history somewhere.
I got a 1974 c 120. With 14 HP. Moter rebuild few years ago. Just picked up deck today. Sanded wire wheeled. 2 coats rust primer, 2 coats red all under neath deck. Then gonna rub wheel bearing grease thin coat over ever part under deck. Then do same top, under belt guard. Then repaint completely top deck. All stickers, tags complete, nice. If done correctly these decks lasted like tractor 50 years.
Nice to have the autograph. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
I have a very low hour 1277. I got it from a retired architect who worked for a Wheel Horse dealer while going to college. He kept it inside his office as a decoration along with several mint condition original 60s era chainsaws. He sold everything when he retired and closed his business. It is basically unused and shows 18 hours. I would be willing to let someone who would appreciate and preserve it take over ownership.
I have the personal tractor of the owner of the very first dealership for wheel horse EVER!
Not as significant as a tractor signed by Pond....but still I'm proud of it.
I got it from Chandlers daughter. She had no interest in wheel horses.
Mr. Gary is "Glued" to that Wheelhorse's seat ,& Not giving it up "fer- nuthen". .....l myself grow-up on them with a "68 Raider 10" ,a "74 C-16". At the age of 45 inherited a "94 C-160H" & restarted a "County-life", & was happy. Then Tradjectly got "Stupid" @ the age of "50", & bought 2 different "2012"/24&26 hp." Craps-man Twack-tor's"... thought they were my "Solution" to "high-speed mowing& towing",& I WAS WRONG × TEN. Returned those "Scraps-mens" for a 2000.°°$ LOSS . Then the "Quest" Began for another helper to my 1996 C-160-H Wheelhorse-/ "REAL TRACTOR". Acquired Five MORE, in various but mostly "sad-conditions " & made three of them run "Tip-Top",& the "Ranch" was in Good Shape! The "Quest" was almost over, When a "2003" 50th Anniversary Special showed up at my "Big-Tractor Store"( have them also). So l waltez of to the Dealer with my 850-bucks & the "New-Rig" became mine. I was a "Cadillac of the Wheelhorse's " a "neglected 800hr machine" that was "put out to pasture & on its last legs". With some fine love, monkey-wrenching ,30hrs of Work,& only 200$ it Became a "Master-Piece" it once was.....A 20HorsePower D-20H( with extended wheel-base,heavy-duty front axle) model/ with Golden-Horse hub-caps & "Stock 50th Anniversary Stickers& Paint". The 60" fabricated-cast-iron spindles-mower deck that it "totes around " is ANOTHER of its Outstanding Attributes. With SIX of these "Fine Stallions " in my Coral ,things are "Great" here on the "Donderosa ".
Love it! Nice job!
Just an FYI... that hood decal setup is incorrect. That’s from a later model. A common replacement because the originals could be tough to find in the past. Much easier nowadays.
I know a bunch of guys that own dozen and dozen of Wheel Horses,I don't know why so many?
Wheel Horse Fever! I’ve got the Cub Cadet variant and the only cure is to buy more!
I have heard of the Green variant too.
It's, just because they Can DO "Wheelies" at a drop of a hat..... And EVERYTHING ELSE BETTER than those 17-26hp vertical shaft engine "New-fangled, so called modern " gas-guzzling pieces of JUNK ,with "Watch-gears" for a Drive-train that "Strip-out" AUTOMATICALLY.
Just like any other type of collection. Gotta have a different model or year or option etc. We have around 15 here on the acreage. Absolutely excellent machines. We use them regularly.
You are right 👍 "and everything else better"I still have my 702 I bought 33 years ago but my D will not do a wheelie, too heavy I guess.@@donaldstrishock3923
Fix a flat
Very nice
He mentioned tractors today, THERE IS NO TRACTORS TODAY, MTD HAS BOUGHT ALL MOST ALL BRANDS AND TURNED THEM INTO LOW QUALITY PILES OF SHIT.
Planned Obsolescence. I’m still mowing with an ‘87 Deutz - Allis 613 Special 🤣
I’m plowing, mowing, snow blowing, and seeding with my 1960s 110, (John Deere).
Wheel Horse was purchased by Toro.
@@markdanielczyk944 Wheelhorse was corporate long before the Toro purchase around 1987ish. AMC owned the company starting in 1974.
Not to defend MTD... but they do exactly what they are told to by the purchaser of their products. Back in the day MTD could and did build a decent tractor... if that's what was ordered.
