HC 69, Box 35, Pine Ridge, Arkansas 71966
I recently bought this Wheel Horse tractor at auction. The
former owner only owned it two years, and knew little about it. I
would appreciate knowing what model it is, so I can find parts.
I would like to know if a belly mower was ever made for it, and
most of all, I need to know the shape of the wire belt brakes that
mount on the engine and stop the belt in order to shift gears.
This Wheel Horse is a 10 HP Kohler, three-speed forward, with
640-15 rear bar tread tires. It also has a hydraulic lift, and is
serial #42299.
I have been told Toro now supplies Wheel Horse parts for older
tractors. Other readers might enjoy knowing this. When I find out
the model of the tractor, I will soon find out if Toro does have
parts.
I painted the tractor with Rust-Oleum Regal Red and Rust-Oleum
Almond. I used spray cans and a China bristle brush. Primer was
Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal Primer. Not bad for a farm job.
I have enjoyed your magazine for some years now. I like the
homespun stories on searching, recovering, and building an engine
back to original condition. The articles on basic mechanics are
always appreciated. The reports on the shows and meets come in
last.
