MaineDad 85 #1 Posted November 29, 2007 Guys, Stopped by an old WH Toro dealer yesterday for a part and got into a conversation about his 59 RJ he had on display. He said he also had a "Purple Horse" that he bought brand new. Apparently WH did some dealer display promotion but he does not remember the year. He's going to email me some pics of the never been used tractor! I'll post when he does. Anyone know the year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,300 #2 Posted November 29, 2007 I think I have seen a purple "Toro" lawn tractor but not a Wheel Horse. As I remember it was a dealer promotion, might of had flames on it as well. Mike........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kj4kicks 151 #3 Posted November 29, 2007 My local dealer has a purple one, with flames on it. Looks like a newer model ? Never really asked about it, just thought it was a custom job. Now I'll have to find out! (and get some pics) Eldon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,408 #4 Posted November 29, 2007 I don't remember the year, but the slogan on the posters for them was "We paint 'em red so you won't scare the neighbors" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 11,877 #5 Posted November 29, 2007 Seems like I heard something about many of them being an "empty shell". No motor, no tranny, just a display piece? Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaineDad 85 #6 Posted November 29, 2007 That's right. No motor or tranny, but he said he bought the motor and tranny that was supposed to fit that model and installed them. It's in his barn and hopefully he'll email me some pics. He said he'd consider selling it too. Stay tuned... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
