Good idea , keep a look out for my pic at the post office if it doesn’t work out
-
Well, whatever it is, unfortunately it's sold.
-
It has the Raider style deck and PTO engagement lever. Or it could be the very rare Piggy Back Tiller model.

Good of you to remind us of the ones that have left us. Too often in the midst of the hassle of life they are soon forgotten.

New Member, New to Wheel Horse & Now I Own a 656

Brad - Welcome! Nice score there. You may just be better off locating another 36" gear drive deck shell. You can post for one in the "Wanted" classifieds. A quirky feature of the later 1960's short frame tractors is the flip up seat / pan. The issue is that this can happen at the wrong time if the pan latch is not secure. Let out the clutch & you get pitched off the back!! It all looks mighty complete and original.... -
Tractor Lunging Unexpectedly!! Scary!! Help please!

To properly clean the cooling fins on the hydro...YES. To inspect the cam plate and linkage for wear and proper functioning...NO. Just flip the seat forward to access the cam plate thru the hole in the seat pan. -
Sad. A shadow of its glory days.

I tried to upload pictures of the bushing with the flats but the forum didn't like them
-
Attached is my 1975 C-160 operating smoothly. Notice the bushing i circled is not turning. But, the lift mechanism is moving. There is a Woodruff key holding it to the shaft to the bushing so thats not a surprise. On my 1975 C-160 it's the same configuration but the bushing and the lift mechanism have flats to lock them together. Apparently the mechanism worked once upon a time but I don't see how it could 20251116_113537.mp4

I recently got the bug to get an older lawn tractor so I started watching FB Marketplace. After dealing with a lot of scammers I finally came across a 1966 656 Wheel Horse that showed up Friday and was only 27 miles from me. This one turned out to not be a scam and after looking at it I decided to go ahead and buy it. I'm the third owner, the 2nd owner bought it from an estate sale of the original owner. He sat on it for about four years and then decided he didn't have time and now it's my turn. What I've discovered so far is the engine seems to be good, although there is a good chance I'll have to replace the carburetor. The rear axle seals are weeping a bit and the pull starter needs a new spring at a minimum. I'm not sure what my plans are just yet. I'm waffling on doing a quick rebuild so I can use it or do a full blown tear down and rebuild. It still has the original (although rotted) Wheel Horse tires on it and other than the mower deck the tractor is structurally sound. I would like to rebuild the mower deck and am currently thinking that the top section could be cut out and a new panel welded in place. I need to ponder that for a while. Brad

Not sure that the others would agree with this Great story, thank you for sharing.

What would be the cause of low range not working? The shifter goes into both detents but in low range its just neutral and woth the clutch disengaged I am able to shift through all 3 forward and reverse gear with no grinding or movement. In high range everything works as it should. If I try to shift from high to low without clutch there is no grinding but if I try to go low to high there is.

This would be great, except our “machine” seems to be more of a depositor!

My spouse’s favorite. She calls it picturesque and then asks if the road are good for driving!

Difference 1057, 856, 857 other than engine?
Handy Don replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
NY requires any shop that does oil changes to accept used motor oil from the public, but they are allowed to set some standards for what they will accept. ALL of the shops in my village demand plain oil, either dino or synthetic, with no adulteration whatsoever. If they detect a whiff of gas, kerosene, or diesel they just flat reject it. Why? Because all of them are selling that used oil to a re-refiner who imposes the standards on them. A couple of quarts of contaminated oil in their 55-gallon collection drum and the entire barrel might be rejected (the pickup people don’t sniff, they sample and test). When/if that happens, the shop has to PAY a hazardous waste company to take it. ’Nuf said. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

@WheelHorse_Kid and I have been working on getting stuff squared away for winter. Had these 5 out of the garage so decided to snap a photo. -
Called yard art.

I didn't pay attention to if the tractor was damaged or not
