userj8670 68 #1 Posted July 8, 2013 Just wanted to say hi! My name is Jim and figured I would start off here. I have always been an IH Cub Cadet fan but have always enjoyed wheel horses (from the little i knew about them). Quite a few friends have some very nicely restored garage queens my favorite being a 653 with some gnarly tires. Friend of mine just got a raider 10 and thats when i got bit by the bug. Seems to have a great site here and i look forward to learning more about these premium grade tractors. One question i will ask though is how do you keep track of all the different models - it seems every time i look there is another model added to the line up lol Thanks!

Sparky-(Admin) 21,324 #9 Posted July 8, 2013 Yep, there does seem like a whole lot of models but most of them are similar thru the years with only minor changes year by year. Mike........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,290 #10 Posted July 9, 2013 The model list can look a bit intimidating, but for the 1962 to 1967 models it is all in the numbers. The 653 that your buddy has is a 6 six hp 5 electric start 3 built in 1963. A 1055 is ten hp electric start built in 1965. Now you can tell at a glance on the older square hooded .

userj8670 68 #11 Posted July 9, 2013 this def helps out alot! By the way, while we are on the topics of wheel horses, a friend of a friend had an wheel horse, newer model (maybe from 90's?). It was a twin cyl, had a chrome aircleaner, chrome muffler guard and was a decent sized lawn tractor. Any ideas what model it could have been? Thanks , Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

userj8670 68 #15 Posted July 10, 2013 Look like this one? I honestly think it was bigger maybe? I know it had a big deck on it and I think arm rests on the seat however it did look like that yes..but I think larger. P.s. I remember it had a horsepower or torque gauge on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
