As a matter of fact it really wasn’t for sale, but the original owners widow wanted it to go to someone who would take care of it the way her husband did. She knew what it was worth and we both agreed on a fair price. Personally I never thought I’d own an LSE, but when one becomes available to me with 17 original hours and it’s signed by the man himself Cecil Pond I knew I had to do whatever I had to to make it happen. I sold some things that I wasn’t using anymore, and worked a little harder to come up with the balance. Would I lay out that kind of money again? Probably not, but I am a Wheel Horse collector so to me this is the pinnacle of my collection. I too see some of the prices people ask for these things and just shake my head! Since I purchased my first Wheel Horse brand new in 1984, I’ve bought a few, had some given to me and even had three left to me by two separate gentleman in their will! I’m not in this hobby to buy and flip them to try and make money. As a matter of fact I probably should sell a few as having twenty is a little ridiculous! However, this is my hobby, it’s what I do and having nice tractors makes me happy 😃. When it does come time to downsize I would love to give some of them to a kid who could properly take care of them for the next generation to enjoy. And the rest? Well I’ll worry about that when the time comes. God Bless everyone……. An autographed LSE is definitely something different. Like a 99 Monte Carlo is just a car, but if Dale Earnhardt signed the dash...thats a more valuable car. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutdoorEnvy 1,664 #53 Posted 19 hours ago Okay I didn't realize the 420-LSE's had the Kohler M20 till I was just looking up some specs on them just now. I always assumed it was like a special early version of the Onan 520. That is really neat though. My friends D-200 has the M20 and it seems like a monster engine for a garden tractor. That in a 400 series is quite the rig. Did the 420 come with the swept forward front axle by chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should have autographed the WHrat Whrecker before I sold it to @Pullstart for a bottle of Wheel Horse whiskey and future rights to add a wind noodle and bus seat to it... I'd be rich!!! 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
