gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,243 #2 Posted May 1, 2012 Can see the ID plate under your dash housing which should have 1-3631 on it. Interested in knowing what your serial number is. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massey 119 #4 Posted May 1, 2012 Here's some reading about this model. The decks do show up here and on that auction site, post an ad in the "wanted" section . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,410 #5 Posted May 1, 2012 Changed your topic title.... your tractors called a 500 Special... not Rally 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsinal 1 #6 Posted May 1, 2012 I am new to wheel horses. And i like them they are well built and last. I have a 520hc that is 23 years old and still is meaner than sin. I am glad i asked on this fourm because everyone helps. thank you for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,145 #7 Posted May 1, 2012 http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php/topic/13757-wheel-horses-at-indy/ Thought you might like to look through these old photos to see examples of why this tractor is historically significant. The 500 Special was a one year only model, by the way. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry M-(Moderator) 2,203 #9 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Yes, Nice Tractor!!! I think I'd like to find a 500 SPECIAL some day. but I was wondering, other than the decals, is a 500 special just a basic electric start short frame with a 6hp tecumseh? ....with a headlight? Maybe some more "500 special owners would be willing to post some pics of theirs? Edited June 12, 2013 by Terry M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
