bill moore 3 #1 Posted November 18, 2013 I recently traded a 65 ford f100 for this wheel horse. I am looking to find out what year and model it is so that I may find the correct parts and etc. The images are in my photo gallery if any one could be of some use.

CasualObserver 3,408 #2 Posted November 18, 2013 Link to bill's album..... Looks like you got yourself a 1964 1/2 model 1045. I say the 1/2 part because the 1045s were a crossover model built midway between the 64 and 65 model years utilizing a new square hood design and the round fenders. Some people swear that it's a 65 model because of the 1045 number ending in a 5, but there has been a sales receipt found (and posted here somewhere) that's dated May 1964.... and no other 1965 models were produced that early. Either way, nice tractor, using that number "1045" in the search box will get you lots and lots of info! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel Horse Kid 105 #3 Posted November 19, 2013 I also have a 1045 and I agree with Jason that is what you have. They are very cool tractors for sure and Wheel Horse only made like 1100 of them! I thought I heard once they were made from August to October of 1964 but maybe that is wrong since someone found a May 1964 sales slip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bill moore 3 #4 Posted November 19, 2013 ...thank you guys. Now that I know what to look for...I need to know where to look. I am in need (as you can see in photos) of some parts. Would also like to find Owners Manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,408 #5 Posted November 19, 2013 A downloadable copy of your manual is here ----> As for parts... when you figure out specifically what you're looking for, post a classified, and/or contact some of the used parts vendors listed in the vendor section at the bottom of the main page. I know Kelly has had several 1045s in the past... he'll likely have some of the things your looking for! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse79 271 #7 Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Welcome! I just bought a restored 1045 off of a member here on Red Square. I also bought an RM425 deck for the tractor that I plan to restore and put on. Enjoy your rare and unusual Wheel Horse!
