T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,507 #1 Posted October 31, 2007 I know I'm relatively new to Wheel Horses, but I think I can spot one when I see one and also I think I can spot a fake. Check this out that I found on Chicago's Craig's List: Fake Wheel Horse painted blue Notice the Wheel Horse decal in the one photo with blue overspray. Maybe this was one of those '69 and later Lawn Rangers. Is this a Wheel Horse or not? Looks more like it's not me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,294 #2 Posted October 31, 2007 Humm.... That doesn't look like any Wheel Horse I've seen. I'm not sure what that sticker is, but it doesn't look like a model sticker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,507 #3 Posted October 31, 2007 That's what I was thinking also - it doesn't look like a Wheel Horse, more like a MTD, or a Murray or a AYP product.

Buzz 502 #7 Posted October 31, 2007 A dealer probably took the poor thing in on trade and slapped his sticker on it. I bought a used Chevy conversion van from a Chrysler dealer and he had one of his stickers on it. Seller probably thinks it's a horse.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
