steelsmith 27 #1 Posted August 19, 2023 Had a long day today made a 500+ road run and came home with two new to me wheel horse, they were in the same family from the get go. This all started because I was looking for a replacement steering wheel for my Grandson's model 400. So I have what looks like a 1960 400 with no motor in it But a Nice Clean wheel along with the shift patter plate and throttle/choke handles, Ser# 38062. 2nd looks like a 1960 400 with a tecumseh with electric start and pull start , and it runs and no smoke, Got a mower deck in good shape for it's age, got a push blade and mounting parts for it all so is in good shape for it's age, then got a box with odd and ends that will come in handy at some point. It's patter plate has Ser. # 28057 and only the throttle handle . After seeing what I was getting for the money I would have gone farther. Now to get things cleaned up and stored away till I get a need. So I have 3 cub cadets and 3 wheel horses and my wife hasn't put her foot down YET.

This may be a 550 and not a 400. 1 hour ago, steelsmith said: So I have 3 cub cadets and 3 wheel horses and my wife hasn't put her foot down YET. I told mine there could be worse things I could be doing. Asked her "Would you prefer I do those or tractors?" LoL 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
