EdgarV 1 #1 Posted June 21, 2015 I have five tractors all at least 25 years old and would like to compare notes on maintenance and sources of parts, but Internet search failed to find owner group anywhere in Europe, let alone in Berkshire! Am I truly alone here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdgarV 1 #6 Posted June 22, 2015 Hi Mark - I started at wheelhose.co.uk, and just checked again, there are no UK 'Horses listed. One or two in Europe but most are in the USA. I am normally quite good at navigating web sites but this one may have beaten me! Any tips? I have one each 10, 12 and 14 and 2 16 HP. Pics to follow.

stevieb 12 #10 Posted March 21, 2016 Hi I am new to this site I also live in Berkshire UK and have a D-200 with cutting deck in my garage (I will get round to registering it and posting pics one day) I have owned it for about 20 years but I am thinking of selling it.soon I have managed to obtain spares, but not always easy My biggest challenge to date was sourcing parts for rebuilding the PTO clutch Pearsons Mailorder stock (and can obtain) Wheelhorse spares (watering.co.uk, email at anyname@watering.co.uk) they even have an online enquiry form for wheel horse parts https://www.watering.co.uk/services/toro-and-wheel-horse-spares-enquiry-form.html but you need to know the part numbers first. I find the following sites useful for identifying part numbers: https://lookup3.toro.com/partdex/index.cfm?xCaller=Toro (where 01-20KS00 is the D-200) also http://torotractorspares.co.uk/part-lists/ Hope this helps 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevieb 12 #16 Posted November 20, 2016 Hi Gazza Nice restoration Gary - looks like new I live near Twyford (between Reading and Maidenhead) My D-200 wheelhorse (and its 42-inch deck) is sadly sitting in the garage and in need of TLC. I had some issues a couple of years ago when the PTO clutch seized (bearing disintegrated). I managed to find parts and re-assemble it. Since then however I have never got the geometry right to re-engage the clutch fully. So the lawn is now cut by another ride-on but I do miss the riding around on the wheelhorse.
