I think I need a BIGGER barn !

Recommended Posts

Well I after months of work I bought out an old WH dealership that probably closed within the last 10 years and had been open since the 60's (I prefer to keep the name private). The building was collapsing on itself water everywhere, mold. just horrible. So my father (shynon) and I went to pick, pack and load everything that we could save. It took two days, my truck packed to the hills, my dads truck packed to the gills, a  5x8 trailer, and a 16ft car trailer! In the end I got the parts inventory (haven't looked through 10% of it yet) although it was in a wet environment and boxes were damp, wet and molding the parts look to be in pretty good shape. I got seven tractors all in some need of repair (most were a,b,c series) three of these had kohlers on them (8,12,16hp). Several kohler motors in some need of repair. All the WH literature we could save, manuals, brochures, dealership info, awards, and two microfiche machines (hopefully we can make one out of them). I also got an electric rear engine rider that I plan to restore for the fun of it, and a porter cable mower from the late 50's, Dealership signs, etc...... I'm probably forgetting some things but here they are the reasons we opened this thread for PICS!

Very nice haul!!  I am guessing from your description of the dealer warehouse that this stuff came from Faribault.  I am going to be in your area next week for the Steele county fair I would love to see this haul up close and possibly do some buying/trading, if you have time let me know.

Do the snap on tool box and tools come with this deal? Looks like the most valuable thing I spotted out of your pictures. Nice score if the price is right.

Hory Cow  what a haul.... 

 

I am always too afraid to ask just in case I get one of those deals and then I have to haul it all... and find a place to hoard it...

WOW.  Congradulations!  Any chance that you have an operators manual for a 108-5 WH Rear Engine Rider?  I need help with changing thebelts and they don't look like anything that I'm familiar with.  Greg

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!! One could say you "cleaned up at the horse track" today... :laughing-rofl:  What a great purchase. Once you have time to sort through all the goodies. I am looking for the primary shaft for a 42" snow blower.

      Hi All, It's time for me to sell the D-250 I've had for the last 8 years.  It’s useable as is, or would be a great project bundle for further restoration.
       
      I am selling a large package: the running tractor, a refurbished snowblower (48”), parts snowblower, mower deck (60”), tiller (40”), front plow blade (60”), Cat 0 3-Point Hitch with adjustable top link, WH 3-Point tool bar, wheel weights and tire chains.  Also included is an extensive part collection, nearly a second tractor worth.  I will include the original manuals, an original 1976 sales brochure, and repair manuals for the tractor and the engine.  I made electronic copes of all of the above, and stored the paper copies to prevent further wear. This is one of the most complete D-250 tractor/attachment bundles I’ve seen.
       
      Some highlights from the available parts: Frame rails, extra engine, water pump, extra transaxle, extra gears, including worm gears (stored in oil bath), Front wheel set, carburetor, carb rebuild kit, rebuildable original radiator, extra radiator overflow bottle, rebuilt alternator, new voltage regulator (I was planning to change over to an alternator setup from the generator), new in package Renault engine seals, new PTO seals, ignition maintenance parts.  There are also many panels, frame pieces, cables, levers, tubes (lines) and hardware in the collection.
       
      The tractor engine runs smooth.  There are around 1050 original hours on it; It’s a 1976 edition.  Everything works, except the dash lights and the rear lights (disconnected b/c of fender).  I just haven't sorted out the wiring, but it is all there.  Headlights are good and working, as are all of the gears and levers.  The four tires are nearly new Carlisle Multi Trac, with nubs still on them.  The rear tires have been filled (ballasted) with Rim Guard for extra traction.  The hydraulic pump, front PTO clutch and brakes operate but could use a tune up.  I’ve used it for mowing and snowblowing on hills, driveway and around my land. I don’t have an original WH seat.  The snowblower was rebuilt a few years back, and assembled with all new hardware and bearings.  The mower deck gearbox was professionally serviced recently, and has a new set of blades with only a half dozen mows.  The rear fender needs a repair, but all pieces are available.  The plow and tiller are due for restoration.  The Points, Condenser and rotor have all been replaced and tuned in.  The battery is good.  I've rebuilt the carb, replaced the fuel pump and changed out the plugs within the last 30 hours.  The replacement radiator is from a Kawasaki engine; it was installed with new hoses. There are also new custom hydraulic hoses and a new hydraulic lift cylinder.
       
      Here's a video of me mowing, this past summer.
       
      Transporting this haul in one trip will require a pickup truck and a large trailer.

      Newbie here and I have a 520-H that runs, but needs some TLC and some minor things fixed and/or adjusted. It comes with a like new tiller that I believe has only been used once and has paint still on the tines. I am the 2nd owner and I have personally never used the tiller. I am selling my previous home that I rent and where it has been stored. My current home's yard just isn't big enough to use a rider and I need to find a new home for it. I want to sell them together to simplify and I need them gone in the next 2 weeks. Please reach out with any questions and I'll do my best to answer. I am definitely not as knowledgeable as most of you on this forum, but figured somebody would like to fix it up, part it out and/or needs a tiller. Please email or text.

      I recently posted about issues with my transmission and have now identified the issue.   I removed the transmission cover and found that the final pinion bearing had failed.   Bearings and race in bottom of cover.   Now need to find replacement bearing and also a new filter.   Bearing part number from Toro is 93-0446 and is stamped with “Japan Nachi 6203”.  The gasket is Toro # 93-0478.   Any help verifying these part numbers for a TORO 270H model 72106 and also locating replacement parts or equivalents would be greatly appreciated.  My transmission serial number is 049132.  Thank you!

      Hi all,
       
      Not a Wheel Horse fan but recently had a WH 656 given to me. It seems complete with the exception of the steering wheel. Might anyone have an appropriate steering wheel for sale or can point me to where I can find one? Thanks

      It's been a while since I've been here.  My 857 just keeps humming a long.  But a while ago I picked up some parts, thinking they would fit my machine but no.  so here are some pics  they seem to be NOS.   I'm sure one of you would love to have them and I would have a little more shelf space.
