I'm liking the 753 thoughts. I was thinking it was 64 when they switched the front axle but a bit of research showed it was 63 except for the Lawn Ranger and 603. The steering wheel would be flat on a 63 but that doesn't look original.

Best way to clean the baked on looking grime off the tractor and engine?
Retired Wrencher replied to bo dawg's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Just old-fashioned pump fuel with an adjustable stiff brush. The brush I have used it so many times I wore it out. -
The Unidrive is, but from a later tractor. Is it a 6 or 8 speed?? Done right, it looks like it was from the factory...

That’s a deal. -
Replace anything that has to do with your fuel supply. If still the same look into all the electrical parts.

Thanks. Cant take credit for the Hi-Lo. Purchased 753 from @Buckeyes. He gets the credit for transmission upgrade. He told me it was a NOS unit

I hope you enjoy this site. Tons of info here in the manual section. Good luck with it whatever you want to do with it.

Hmmmm... I'm going to agree it is of 1964 vintage - most likely started life as a 654. The cambered front axle with tierods, the slotted grille, and the Dial-a-Height lift lever stop all say 1963 or later. @ML3 - excellent work on that 753. Nice upgrade to the HI-LO Unidrive. That makes it take on a whole new personality. Similar to my 854 8 speed. The one they never built, but should have. Nice to see the OE choke & throttle knobs too.

Well John I scratched my head when you were buying this. But I guess it’ll be interesting what you do with it in the end. Looking forward to the completion. -
Peeling the onion

Well done. A note to all..... THIS is the proper method to remove the 3" remnant of the 3/4" diameter pin. You press or impact thru the thin side and have the pin exit out the thich half of the casting. Doing it the other way, you run the risk of snapping the boss off the thin housing. Then you just compounded the problem you already were trying to fix with the Unidrive... - Today

The dash on my 654 in 1st pic. 2nd pic is dash on my 753 The tie rods/steering components (unless replaced/upgraded) appear to be 1963 or later?
-
Based on the newer front axle I'd say likely a 654. I'd have to verify which models had that dash/fuel tank style. The engine won't help identify this one.

One of the great things about Wheelhorse tractors is the parts availability. It's absolutely excellent. First call or PM. Every time. @76c12091520h Brian Badman. He has both new and used parts. Another good source is to place an ad in our own Classifieds. Also a good idea is to CALL Lincoln at A to Z Tractor in PA. He's a very busy Wheelhorse salvage yard and sells new parts as well.

Welcome to Red Square My guess it is a fairly early 1961 model 701 with a replacement engine by the serial number.

The 78355 is a recycler deck. Are those pieces still with it? -

The super in the background looks good too! -
This Deck in in Like New (Original) Condition , and was removed from my 312-8 back when tractor was 1st purchased to install a side discharge - bagger system . No issues , you'd be hard presses to find 1 nicer , unless you found a NOS unit @ a dealer ! No disappointments. Note ; The factory (Mule Drive) is also Included , but is missing (1) pulley !

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Today, I had to fix the C-141 as the only original tie rod decided to fall off on a short spin around the driveway. I wasn’t going fast so I found it quick. Luckily, I had a spare and swapped it out in no time so it’s still usable. I took it on a longer further from home ride earlier, and I was relieved it didn’t decide to drop off then.😬 -

The one on my 310-8 had them on one side of each 1533. Never seen one other than that one before. -

so I took a few days off work to play and work around the house, since it was nice outside today I mowed grass and then had some play time with the recent acquired 418-8. Wow the PO didnt clean it much at all, he kept it under an awning outside so the dirt just built up each season. I took the covers off and the seat pan to try and clean up to see some red paint. I used the purple power stuff letting it soak a min and then used my pump up spray jug to spray off the crud and grease. It really did a decent job cutting a good bit off, then taking a scraper and working the more stubbern stuff and then soap and spray again. Theres a good bit of red paint now to see, but a good bit of corrosion too. Had to cut a couple bolts off removing the tins due to the elements fusing them together. pics are a start and Ill get some after pics in a day or two. I think Ill paint a few of the tins before putting back together but nothing speacial at this point. -
