Production numbers unknown, I’d say millions if not tens of millions of steering wheels were used.  Let’s not forget the ones with no steering wheels…. :handgestures-thumbupright:

Adding some of mine that aren't here. One on my 1067, one on my electro 12, and one on my work horse 700.

The 603 half steering wheel was a one of a kind Wheel Horse used in 1963. 
 

 

 

 

And the aluminum RJ 35 small steering wheel.

Three spoke and two spoke Lawn Ranger steering wheels. 
 

The 1968 had a three spoke steering wheel and the models before had a two spoke.   And the steering wheels were designed with a pin to remove them in order to take off the hood .

Great thread. Reminds me of the one from years ago titled "How many batteries and tires do you have?". But @Lane Ranger what I want to know is where did you get that aluminum? 701 dash?

It is not aluminum Bob.  It is a 702 steel dash that has been chromed.

 

 

Extra holes were drilled in it.   This 701 I bought was traded back and forth between two Wheel Horse collections twice. 

 

I  went to one of the guys when he had it and he had six 701's in various states of repair.   He asked if I wanted a parts tractor all apart or a $1500  restored beauty.  I said I wanted a mid range operating one that required little work and this is what I got.

 

I like this much better than the original 701 plastic dash (or even Glen Pettit's much better repo version). 

 

 

I am pretty sure this is unique among the 701's put there.

Thanks Lane. I'm looking for alternatives. I got a 701 dash from Glen a few years ago for my grandson's 701 project, and by the time I pulled it out to use it, it had curled, warped and cracked at the holes. I heated and flattened it, and repaired the cracks with crazy glue, but it's just not right. Lowells are supposed to be better, but $40.00 delivered is not in my grandson's budget.

Put an ad out for a 702 dash.  Yes chroming it ain’t cheap but you can’t take your $ with you Bob.  Make an almost unique 701 dash happen!  Your grandson will be very appreciative!
