bo dawg 516 #1 Posted July 6 Ive have been wanting a 418 for a while now, never had a 400 series, and finally found one 40 mins from home. Wanted a better twin Kohler than the 17.5 hp Im use to. Although I really cant complain about them, my weekly mower C175 is my best friend. But wow I never knew these things are so much better and they steer so easy like a 520 with the gear reduction steering. At least this one does. The big Dico 23x10.5x12 are aggressive as hell. The 48" deck is really nice and quiet and no cracks or thin spots. I been looking for a good 48" for a little while too. Lol! Heres a few pics. I just got it today, changed oil and wash some bird poop off. Ill clean it more later. Not sure what exact year it is due to the stupid paper ID tags they used. If anyone can tell me precise let me know. 5 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,484 #5 Posted July 7 I figured @JCM Jim would know right off the top 'is head. He's the 80s Wheelhorse mastermind. @bo dawg you'll like that one as a great worker. Strong smooth twin engine. Eaton 1100 transmission. Foot pedal Control. What's the info on that snowblower? Chute is unlike I'm familiar with and the frame mounted too. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,223 #6 Posted July 7 Great find, I love my 418-C. How do you like the foot operated motion control, looks like it would be a great option to have. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chute is unlike I'm familiar with and the frame mounted too. From my understanding the blower is a Simplicity model and was adapted to fit on a wheel horse, but I dont know much about any blowers. The PO said it wors great. Its free and easy turning. Id like to sell it and a snow blade. I really only wanted the tractor and deck, but couldnt get them unless I took all, Edited July 7 by bo dawg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im on the fence still with the foot control. Ok for long runs but you have to be very easy on using, honestly Id rather use the lever myself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
