Wheel Horse 308-8 with all the attachments
Brockport Bill commented on fordfess's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
agreed - it has a Toro hood suggesting its 1990 or later -- and 308s weren't made past 1988 -- from the angle it doesn't look like 8 hp engine -- can't read decal if 10 or 12 hp? Plus can't imagine running a blower or tiller on an 8 hp? -
Suburban - 4x4…. Will it work?

As I’ve always got so much time free and so many projects, the ideas as usual keep going round in my head. I’ve plans for quite a few designs and here is the next one that’s in design…. The little 400 is waiting for a hood and a paint job, in the meantime it might be getting an upgrade. hot on the heels of Ewan’s 704, I’ve a simpler idea to add 4 wheel drive to yet another Wheel Horse 😂 out comes the parts bucket, and the scrap pile is set to with an angle grinder, a welder and lathe! first stop a peerless transaxle diff with a sprocket added Then making a bearing carrier Shiny axle case Hub bearing and the start of the steering knuckle A finished swivel and UJ carrier, need to crack on with the other side!- 1 reply

@Tomk regularly , VERIFY AS i GO , in a failure area , just don,t think that a new part is the answer , usually there is a related issue , example , pto cone needle bearing , usually dried ,cracked , used to be lube , initial rotational drag start , all of my pto cones spin very easily , BY HAND ,very light application of lucas green . 550 deg flash point , polyurea rated , stays with it, there is a napa sealed bearing for the outer cone end , just those 2 areas , insure magical movement ease . my set up , EVERY STAGE OF INTENDED MOVEMENT , MOVES WITH TOTAL EASE . DARE TO TRY SOMETHING .,PETE

The electric clutch went out on my GT-14 and I had quite a bit of loader work I wanted to get done. I found a pulley that was about the same diameter and had a 1 1/8" bore to replace the clutch temporarily. That was about six or seven years ago, never replaced the clutch and everything works well without it.

Hmm... some serious lip snycing going on there. Dodge even used "The Little Old Lady from Pasadina" in their promotional ads. Good harmony there... And who can for get the string of "Beach Blanket" B movies? Eric von Zipper as the head of the motorcycle gang "The Ratz"....

July 20, 1963, Jan and Dean’s song “Surf City,” reaches the top of the U.S. pop charts. Its immortal opening lyric “Two girls for every boy!” was a claim that wasn’t actually supported by the facts, but it helped create a popular image of California as a paradise of sun and sand and endless summers. To anyone with just a passing familiarity with 1960s pop music, “Surf City” might easily be mistaken for a Beach Boys record, though in fact, the Beach Boys had yet to have a #1 of their own when Jan and Dean scored theirs on this day in 1963. Still, “Surf City” owes its existence directly to the Beach Boys and their resident genius Brian Wilson. High-school classmates Jan Berry and Dean Torrence earned a pair of minor hits while still in their teens, including one — “Baby Talk” (#10 1959)— that Beach Boy Mike Love would later credit as an inspiration for his group’s 1961 debut single, “Surfin’.” But by 1962, the direction of influence between the two groups had shifted. Jan and Dean’s doo-*** flavored sound was passing out of fashion, and when the duo met the Beach Boys while appearing on the same bill at a Los Angeles record hop, they heard the sound that would reinvigorate their career. They became good friends with the Beach Boys and with Brian Wilson in particular, and when they asked Wilson if they could record one of his songs, he declined to give Jan and Dean their first choice, the then-unrecorded “Surfin’ Safari,” but he did give them the instrumental track and opening line to “Surf City.” In a year that also saw the debut of the Annette Funicello-Frankie Avalon Beach Party movie franchise, “Surf City” became the first chart-topping surf song ever. Jan and Dean would go on to have four more significant surf hits in their career:: “Honolulu Lulu” (#11, 1963); “Drag City” (#10, 1963); “Dead Man’s Curve” (#8, 1964); and “The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena)” (#3, 1964).

Don't often see those Keck Gonnerman steam tractors. Looks like a great show. -
Wheel Horse 308-8 with all the attachments
Sparky-(Admin) commented on fordfess's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
I think you have the model of the tractor wrong. Looks to be a 10hp or 12hp motor which would make it a 310-8 or a 312-8. Good luck with the sale! -

Hopefully that has a minimal amount of wiring! All it needs is some bullet proof glass!
