Pedal tractor

[Shynon 7,451]

Anybody else collect or have a Wheel Horse pedal tractor? Picked this one up this morning.

Cool find.   Any info on years and numbers made?

[SylvanLakeWH 25,191]

Very cool.

 

Any idea if these were a dealer promotion product or did WH dealers actually sell them?

Nice - no seal leaks!!!  Use the kitchen cutting board for a plow???

Here's a few that have been seen at the WHCC show from year to year. Check with @Darrenw85 I know at least two of these are his.

I'll say the same thing here as FB Tom... ain't you a little tractor heavy?!?!

I have the C-195 and the later one based on the 300 series.  I could not find the later one and ended up buying a new spirit of oliver pedal tractor and had it painted red and had decals made to match my 50th anniversary 314. I'll  try to take a couple pictures tomorrow depending on the weather.  I do have a picture of the pedal and 314 side by side I'll have to look for.  Here is a picture of the C195 and the show in 2016. Funny story about the 195, I bought that on ebay and had it shipped. The seller shipped it on a grey hound bus. My inlaws picked it up at a bus stop not too far from their house.

They were available from the dealers ( direct from Toro ) , I still have the original order forms, and one assembled tractor and 2 brand new still in the box. No they aren't for sale. Picture is my son on his about 20 years ago.

I've got one from about 20 years ago myself. Two daughters and my son all rode it. Only been outdoors twice for a picture. Still looks pretty good.

They sure cost more than $140 when I bought mine!

Here are my pedal tractors, I took them out for a picture in the snow. The one on the right was done with the gold decals to match my 314 50th anniversary, the one in the middle was bought on eBay and shipped in a hot water tank box via Greyhound bus, the one on the left I bought at the big show when it was brand new (with pull behind cart), the previous owner put it together and took it to the show.

That had to be a Saturday picture. Bill has the white pants and shirt for Friday and red shirt

Friday above,  Saturday below.
