grif63 9 #1 Posted September 9 All, I’ve had a 1962 Wheels Horse 702 that has been sitting for about 5 years now after a tree fell on it (hood is slightly dented). I’ve decided to do a complete restoration and I’m having trouble finding a parts list for this exact model. As of now, the engine is going to be rebuilt, and the transmission will be touched up. I know finding tires will not be a problem at all, but I’m having some trouble locating some parts I know I’ll need. What is the best course of action of locating a gearshift for this model (snapped after tree fell, stuck in gear) and a steering wheel (also broke)? Also, are there any good diagrams that show transmission and engine rebuild? To summarize, just looking for the best way to access parts I’ll need, an overall parts list, and any diagrams to help with the rebuild/restoration project. I greatly appreciate all help with this matter! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keaton 435 #4 Posted September 9 welcome, I have a 702 its a bit rough, my steering wheel broke off there is just 1 spoke, once I get it running I will go from there, its not hard to get the gear **** out, in the little ring that comes up , there is a little Allen key in there, take that out and it should pull right out, they may be hard to get out if you have not got it out already , and normally steering wheels are a pain, I tired to take 2 off and failed twice, they did not really need to come off I was just curious, and hope for the best of luck, if you have any questions add onto this and someone will answer, -Keaton 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,220 #8 Posted September 9 (edited) I was at the Dacusville farm Show near you Labor Day weekend, small world isn't it. Lots of good information on here about all things Wheel Horse. I am attaching a thread on engine rebuilding and transmission rebuilding that will be a good starting point. Your best bet for replacement parts would be a Wanted ad on this site, it is free. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/wanted/ Edited September 9 by 953 nut 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,968 #14 Posted September 9 My 702 has probably had better attention on maintenance, repair etc than any of my other Wheel Horse tractors. It is not my favorite but I do still enjoy riding and working with this tractor. The speed with which Wheel Horse innovated with new devices, attachments and features on their tractors made a quick end to the round hoods but boy they got a lot right early on! 2 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,571 #18 Posted September 11 @grif63 I forgot to give you a source for transmission kits. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product-category/manual-transmissions/ You should require kit #1. There are 2 versions of the kit, with or with out the 1533 bearings. Take a look around the rest of this site too.
