SolarStallion 38 #1 Posted October 21, 2013 Hi, I was looking to try some pulling with my son. I bought this on ebay but I don't know what model wheel horse it is. It has a Briggs and Stratton engine. I don't know where the id tag is, may have been cut off during the build. The person I bought it from got it at an estate sale so he has no info. Thanks, Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,435 #2 Posted October 21, 2013 It looks like it used to be a C120 or C160 automatic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlenPettit 1,716 #3 Posted October 21, 2013 Steve: Looks very nice, can you get pictures of the other three sides (+ dash & low rear) so we can see how it looks. Lot of modifications and done quite well. 1970's, but more views will sure help in dating/IDing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolarStallion 38 #4 Posted October 21, 2013 The Briggs id tag is model 402417 type 0660 code 01 81080512 Looks like it is a 40 cubic inch but I don't know the horsepower. Is this the original engine? Also where would the wheel horse id tag be located. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,435 #7 Posted October 21, 2013 As I said earlier, it's was either a C-120 or C-160. The year was either 1976 or 1977. That Briggs was not a Wheel Horse engine. The closest Briggs that Wheel Horse used was on a 1983 GT-1642 Twin. That was a 16HP and the ID number was 402417-0665-01. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 501 #8 Posted October 21, 2013 Wow they sure hacked up that hood, not what I would consider a good job but to each his own. Being that it is a Hydro I don't know how well it will do as a puller. They have a limited power output, doesn't mater how much power you put in your only going to get so much out.

JimmyJam 542 #11 Posted October 22, 2013 If you are interested in replacing the hydro I have a 4-speed (3fwd + rev) off a Commando 8; and a 8-speed (3fwd + rev and Hi/Low) off a 1976 B-80. PM me if your need anything. I have to say I do like the looks at your puller, no matter what you plan to do with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SolarStallion 38 #13 Posted October 23, 2013 Looks great! Is that the wheel horse show you were at? We were there with a different tractor. We had the tractor with the small solar panel and a horse sound horn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
