cleat 6,495 #1 Posted December 11, 2024 No mirror pics for this one because I bought it and just drove it over to my Mother in laws house just a few blocks away. Just poured in a gallon or so of fresh gas and swapped in a fully charged battery. It then started right up even though it was -10 degrees celsius or so out. Ran a little rough at first but by the time I got it to it's temporary home it was running smooth and quiet. Hydro lift and drive both work perfectly. Deck might be seized or frozen, I will deal with that later. Has oversize tires on it, not sure what I am going to do about that. I did not make note of the hours or if the hour meter even works as the volt gauge does not. 4 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 6,495 #3 Posted December 11, 2024 Seller threw these in as well. Tractor does not have the rear lift but just some contraption bolted to the rear hitch to adapt to these. However, I do have the proper sleeve hitch and lift on a couple of my machines so I can use them. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing that the tractor started and ran at -10 C. That was one cold tractor ride. Being from Texas, I sure don’t run at that temp!

I have not even got a winter coat out yet, just a sweat shirt and light plaid jacket. Topped off with a ball cap. No gloves required for a day that nice either. And just a couple of months ago it was in the 30's (around 88 degrees F) You just adapt. I don't bother fixing the AC in any of my old cars but need the heat to de-ice the windshield in the winter.

mrc 851 #8 Posted December 12, 2024 hi cleat, it seems to me that wheelhorse was somewhat regional and not nationally (USA) distributed. i say this because some members report not many wh tractors in their area. would you say wh was well represented in canada (your area) back in the day? or do you find your tractors in the states? just curious. wherever you find them you sure make them look real nice. regards mike 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They both won sales awards for their Wheel Horse sales numbers back in the day. That said, I have bought most of mine fairly local. Furthest I have ever driven was maybe an hour away. I would think between the ones I have bought and sold plus the ones I have kept that I have purchased at least 20. I have never bought a tractor in the states but most of my parts come from there.
