I think that horizontal shaft is more reliable than vertical shaft. Got a couple old wheel horses my self and I find them to be the most reliable lawn tractors that I've ever owned

Guys I wanted to thank everyone for their input.  I've decided against the tractor that started this thread.  That's the bad news.  The good news is I've settled on a Wheel Horse of some type.  Trying to find a rig that will fit my budget and get the job done (with help from the full size tractor when needed).  Lots of good suggestions in this thread and elsewhere here.  

 

Once again, thanks for the help.  Hopefully I'll be posting back here in the not too distant future to show off my new tractor.  Thankfully looks like this latest storm will pass to the South of us.  That'll buy me a bit more time.  

 

Cheers,

Peter

      1981 GT2500 Snowthrower Models
      By dave who poos
      Hello!
       
      I am looking for any and all snowthrowers that will work on my GT2500. I am trying to find one off FB marketplace but no one ever really posts the model number. Usually just the length. So I look for 42'' throwers but I don't know what will fit. A local seller has this for sale:
       
      He says its 42 but unaware the model, the Wheelhorse logo looks to be from the late 60's/early 70's? It looks like the below thrower:
       

       
      My question is if that thrower year/model will fit the GT2500. It looks pretty dang simple but I'm not sure. Someone mentioned something about the right size "Quick-hitch" in another post.

      67 Lawn Ranger Mower Deck Blades
      By MSBiker
      Well it looks like I'm out of luck. I have been looking for blades for my Lawn Ranger and having zero luck. I have tried Wheel Horse part numbers 7908, 7909. Toro part numbers 8777, and 53322 and no one has anything like this. I was thinking about doing a cut down, but finding right hand and left hand blades seems to be the problem. 
      Anyone making blades, constructing blades, got a work around, etc? My blades are usable, but that is about it.

      Lets make a deal. The whole collection for $3000 or one tractor and half the items listed below for $1500. 
      I am moving to town so am willing to do a partial trade for a wheelhorse more approproiate for a suburban lot- lawn ranger, surburban models, bcs walking tractor, other?
      I could possibly deliver or meet half-way or ship.
       
      Both tractors run great and are in good working order. Second owner of both machines. I work with these machines everyday so they are not perfect but are, in my opinion, in excellent shape.
      42in high-shoot snow blower
      42 in rear discharge deck
      Snow blade
      Front mount deck hanger with 42in side discharge deck
      30in lawn seeder
      Brinly single bottom plow with cleavis or sleeve hitch
      50in grader blade
      Extra transmission
      36in rear tiller - leaks a little
      Full set of tire chains for each tractor
      Various body pieces
      7.5 cubic ft pull behind cart - may need tires
      Extra set of rims
      All required belts, pullys, brackets, manuals, too much to list.
