6 pointsWell today was a day of surprises! 1. Cherry Raider 9 2. A set of the Wheel Horse sunglasses with built in radio arrived in the mail. 3. And finally a nice Manila envelope also survived. Once I opened it I started to search for a frame. The photo is of my wife's great uncle and Cecil Pond. The signature on the top was icing on the cake.

6 pointsNot sure what you had in mind when you went to restore this tractor. If you just wanted to restore it you succeeded. If you wanted to bring it back mechanically you have succeeded. If you just wanted to make it all shiny you have succeeded. If you just wanted to restore with your own twist on it you have succeeded. If you wanted to see how much money you could spend, not knowing but I imagine you succeeded there too. If you wanted to make me jealous you have succeeded. Now if you wanted to make it look like it came from the factory you have failed miserably beyond compare. They never looked that good coming straight out of the factory. You have something there to be real proud of and I am sure you have set the bar for the rest of us and have succeeded in being a motivator to some. Have enjoyed the ride along on this project thanks for taking the time to take pictures and share your restore.

5 pointsFound the unusual find here in UK . The 854 are extremely rare here in UK ,in fact all round hoods are rare in UK . This little guy has been modified by attaching running boards from a 70's tractor . The running boards look like they were added a good few years ago , maybe as far back as the 70's . This tractor was apparently used to pull light aircraft around an airfield. There were 6 tractors bought to do this job & this little dude is no 4 . Sadly when I picked the tractor up is was minus a hood so I just placed the hood from my 653 , so I am now looking for a hood for an 854 should anyone have a good spare that they would like to sell & ship to UK.

4 pointsOne of my babies just left and it was sad. One of my customers bought it for her boyfriend and he was speechless. He's already started too, he wants a couple more in the spring. Hated to see her go but I gotta make room for the new ones following me home!

4 pointsLook what I found in a barn today!!! Granted this was in a collectors barn and we did some Horse trading. It had been just sitting for over a year and will need the carb cleaned. It started right up and cruised around on it. It is dusty from sitting but that will get taken care of real soon!

4 pointsWheel Horse Belts and Pulleys-How to Make Them Last Longer This one page sheet was in a packet for a 1961 or 1962 Wheel Horse Tractor. It is about original B.F. Goodrich made Wheel Horse Belts. Lots of good points made on this fact sheet!

3 pointsWelcome to Redsquare Scott, from us in UK. Looks like an 854 to me 8 = horsepower 5 = Electric start 4 = year manufactured 1964 I wouldn't be too concerned about its value as you couldnt buy the amount of fun & enjoyment that this little tractor is gonna bring you. It's now part of your family , so is priceless

2 pointsNo offence but your trying to sell a "basket case" right now, I wouldn't expect to get to much for it as it sits, (unless your leaving those Wheel Horse rear weights on it ). I recommend you get the engine back in place and operational, tube the rear tire and fix any of the small items that a potential buyer will use to whittle down whatever your price is. Now the buyer can hear the engine for themselves and take it for a spin. Mike...........

1 pointPick this up today at a great price "free". Only missing bracket for rear axle. My question is will this fit my 518H with electric lift? Tried the toro site but that doesn't give me fit guide either by my tractor # or blade #. Thanks any and all help.

1 pointMy mom told me the other day she could get me a free wheel horse if I wanted it and I had been looking into buying a third one anyways so of coarse I said yes. Well we drove probably 35 minutes away to go pick it up when we got there they had it ready and loaded it for me and everything and this is what I got.

1 pointHard to say because I don't know much about your models... but, since you have both tractors there, just look them over. Look at things like Axle size, frame mount to trans footprint, input pulley size and location, brake drum location and linkages etc. etc. And other mounts for anything you can see on these models . . That will at least give you a start on figuring things out.

1 pointSorting through the boxes today to see what all came with it, looks like a 5 gallon bucket of used parts for the rear end was also provided.

1 pointMay fit your Horse, need pic's or model number. The rear axle mount is easy enough to find or, I've made a few myself. Post a pic when you get a chance. http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=toro_consumer&mn=06-48BC02%2C+48%22+Snow%2FDozer+Blade%2C+1990&dn=810748R1-48R10002-0001

1 pointThere was a very cute child driving a pink tractor with a pink wagon with a toddler in it at the show. She drove that tractor around most of the day. She was so proud and sat very tall. When I saw your pink setup on your web site I thought it might have been your daughter.

1 pointSteve- Mine is sort of a custom design. I am having footing poured first then the foundation which will be higher up front and then a slab. I plan on putting a good bit of drainage around the entire foundation and pipe it off into the woods.

1 pointLong enough that every blade of grass was pushed down by the ag tread tires in exactly the same spot! Must have been a low/low-low gear too!

1 pointI see David's as puzzled as I am.....How long do you suppose this guy's been displaying this tractor in this exact spot?

1 pointOk truth be told some cities ordered tractors in certain colors I have seen yellow fords and john deere tractors because the state orders that color on them but I looked and cannot find a yellow horse anywhere on line. I would say he has a rare tractor

1 pointAuto Trader spent a few bucks and brought back the coolest Dodge ever plus the original drivers... made me laugh and made me remember those great Friday nights @ 8 pm when I sat in front of the 12" black and white boob tube in my parents kitchen and adjusted the rabbit ears so I could get a decent picture out of CBS Channel 3 Hartford CT . I was ~10 years old Tony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XonxZvXEPE

1 pointWell, I got the rear axle mounted, and the pump hanging by the rear mount ... so that means it's time for a ride to my local NAPA dealer for some hydraulic hose. Ahh, easy peasy, right? Ahh NO .. I don't have a fork lift!! Gettin' this thing in the back of my truck was a real chore, but it made it in there, kind of!! Glad it's only a few blocks!! Mr. Bill got the hoses custom cut and ready to install. Too hot to do any more today, so tomorrow we fill as much of this thing as I can with hydraulic fluid. I figure it will be easier now, as I can get to all the lines. I know some of you are wondering why this is so difficult, but with the condition of my heart and back, this is nothing short of amazing to me. Let's just not be mentioning this to my doctors, I'm tired of the lectures!! lol Oh, sorry about the foggy photo, I got primer over spray on my phone camera lens, and keep forgetting to clean it off!!
