hello; what have I gotten myself into?

Hello,

I decided my life wasn't complicated enough so I recently developed an interest in old small garden tractors. Was taken with the appearance of Wheel Horse and the devotion of its fans and collectors. Found one close by that seemed solid and bought it. It's a 1979 B-81 6-speed with the Foote 4000-5 transaxle and hi-lo range. 8 horse Briggs. Runs smooth. 36" rear discharge deck in great shape, missing only the belt covers and the nylon spacer on the rear mounting pin.

Looking for a future source for not-outrageously priced rear rims for the B-81, and looking to purchase another tractor with hydraulics at the rear for pulling a small turning plow and disc for my gardening. Or maybe pulling and powering a tiller.

I look forward to participating in these forums.
