1968 Commando 8 comes to mind.  8 hp, 8 speed, and I believe it's a short frame, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Under edit.  After researching, the Commando 8 had a 4 speed.  I did drive one years ago that had the 8 speed in it, but apparently the transmission was changed out at one point.

867

Just because  didn't make one is no reason you couldn't do it.  

[Racinbob 11,034]

I've never thought about that Howard. 1967 was first year for the 8-speed with the 1067 and 1267 but those are long frames. I sure don't see a short frame 8-speed on the list. Looks like ya got another fun little project.

[jimt1971 237]

The 867 was the first Wheel Horse Tractor with a 6 speed as they called it then.

 

[stevasaurus 22,698]

Yep, and I think the 867 is considered a short frame with the #5060 transmission.  10 pinion, limited slip with hi/low. 

[Racinbob 11,034]

I need to get a new list. Mine shows a 857 and an 877 but no 867. But sure enough, you guys nailed it. I found the OM for an 867 and it is a shorty with an 8-speed (6-speed) tranny.

[MalMac 1,331]

Racinbob, got one I am putting together here. That's the one that you, Steve and Mike were helping me on that 6 speed. Short frame with a 6 speed. Talk about a working tractor. There again I love the short frame square hoods. Sure put a lot of them together at are dealership when I was a small kid.

[Racinbob 11,034]

That's cool. I don't recall hearing about an 867 and since it wasn't on the list I figured the first time it was mentioned it may have been a typo. Then it was mentioned again. That's when I did a search here and found the manual. It's a never ending learning process for me but certainly a fun one. Hey Howard, did your question get answered?

I'd like a short frame 8 spd with a Big-Block in it!

Just a heads up, finding the correct trans pulley for that swap is not easy.

 Some aftermarket pulleys can work, but the keyway is not standard on the 5/8   input  shaft and the offset on universal type pulleys is usually to wide. 

 I found this out the hard way

I'm thinking, that a 867 might be my next tractor . Sorry 857 , I'll try to stay on my side of the barbed wire   . My 1075 made me fall in love with short frame square hoods . @stevasaurus , so does the 1067 have the #5060 transmission too ? That tractor got a lot of attention at the show, and I don't know why , so did the 1075 . 

[stevasaurus 22,698]

Jeff...the 1067, 1267, and the 867 came with the #5060 10 pinion, limited slip with 1 1/8" axles and a hi/low (your basic 6 speed transmission).  Of those 3 the 867 is a short frame square hood. 

[RedRanger 1,468]

Did someone mention an 867?  Technically a 6 speed though.  At least that's what the hood decals say.  

The two in reverse didn't count I guess?????

[ACman 7,618]

Does this look like a long frame, there's no  description in the ad . It's sure pretty . 

 

[Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175]

That does appear to be a long hood on that one, ACman.

Yes, that's a long frame.  Compare the hood length to the 867 above and the extra space between the front tires and the deck.

Didn't WH make a short frame square hood 10 or 12 horse in 1966 or 1967?  I thought I've seen one?  One year only deal?  It was a three speed I know.

[ACman 7,618]

Yes , I see  . But it does look to be a 67 model with the decales ?

1067 or 1267  

Was the 1055 a short frame?  These look short?  Pop a 6 speed in one and you're set.

 

[ACman 7,618]

Ok , I'm going to jump out of my chair  ! UUUMM...BIG BLOCK SQUARE HOOD SHORT FRAMES   !

[elcamino/wheelhorse 9,295]
