Wheel Horse D200 Tractor w/mowers. Engine strong and does not smoke. New plugs and fuel pump. The hydraulic pump seal however has started leaking so I took it out of action. Still runs and drives but needs fixing. New Sundstrand 15-Series seal is $48. Has rear wheel weights not shown. Rear 3-pt hitch works along with attachments. 48" rotary pto mower and 44" belly mower deck included.

ISO a complete recoil setup for a Kohler K141 -
So my (tricky) math : Save 15¢ per gallon. Vehicle gets 24 mpg. Station is 3 miles out of the way. Fill-up is 14 gallons. Savings: 15¢ x 14 = $2.10 Extra fuel used: 3 ÷ 24 = 0.125 gallons “Wasted" savings: 0.125 x 15¢ = .02¢ (my hand never leaves my wrist ) Net save: $2.08 Where’s the fault? The actual cost of three miles at the saved price! At the reduced price of $4.40 per gallon and 24 mpg going 3 miles costs 55¢. Net save is only $1.55

That ISN'T an optimal situation. Glad you're getting it addressed.

Try explaining girl math to her. That always gets them going.

Fify-five years ago, at a college mixer, I asked “What’s your major?” Math, she responded.

2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread

SOLD! That one’s coming home to Connecticut -
I do this too, my wife seems to think the gas you "waste" going an extra mile or so offsets the price saving. She is no math wizard, I start to do the math for her and she doesn't want to hear it. I seem to find my way to the doghouse anytime math is involved.

Thanks for the input on how your tractors are configured. Guess the bolt and ground strap orientation could have been a running production line change, or may have been however the line worker felt like hooking it up that day My battery hold down is another part I've discovered is missing, so that is on the to-do list for sure.

he probably don’t want her off the street that bad -
oh that’s a nice one! Much cleaner than mine. Agreed on the tough part, very overbuilt and last forever, kind of like a Wheel Horse LOL. Guess that’s why I like them both so much.

I know of another orange Toyota in the NC area. @Lee1977 has the one below. Really tough little trucks!

Wow, that WorkMate bench has been worked!

Thank you much for posting that! Been wondering what year my 314-8 is and just found out it’s a ‘93.

One set up is for floating the other allow down pressure -
The Harrisburg area looks decent as well. Definitely gonna be consulting GasBuddy.com’s trip planner on this voyage. It has typically directed me to a station a mile or so away from an interstate interchange--past the high priced "immediate gratifier” stations--for significant savings. This morning’s news is predicting a spike in the next two weeks, though, as inventories are emptying.

I worked with Kate Bossen ten years ago to create 1/12 scale Wheelhorse decals. Artwork was $150 - I paid half. Using the Ford LGT available on ebay, you can use the body as is, or there is enough meat to grind the front hood flat. Kate has retired and sold her decal business to "Midwest Decals". the decal models numbers are C-165 and D-200. they turn out really nice.

Closer to $4.30 in the Dillsburg/Carlisle area.

As cool as it is from a creativity standpoint, I suspect someone left the engineers unsupervised for too long! This thing was too clever for its own good with all the extra mechanicals and compromises that would rarely be needed. No wonder it was superseded by the articulated models very quickly. To me, it is a fine example of learning from trying where it might seem like a failure, but it leads to something great.
-
Thanks. I like it too, but I will like it much better without the exhaust leak. I didn't drive it most of last year because the fumes were making me sick while driving.

My brother, an avid toy collector and myself have both tried to find the Nylint / Auburn Rubber / Sears Wheelhorse toys. We finally put them together and have the truck #7000 the trailer and the Wheelhorse set still in the bag, as well as a complete Red set and a complete Yellow set. The trailer is a unique toy with holes for the garden tools. I have never seen the original 4 tools. I made mine out of Barbee and other toys.

My 91 has the bolt head and ground cable below the frame, my 96's and 97 have the nut, washer and cable above the engine ears. The change may have been made to have a direct connection to the engine. Where is your battery hold down, as you can see it would only take a serious bump to make sparks?
