TDF5G 2,069 #30 Posted July 14, 2016 Mighty fine looking you got there. It's hard to pass up a good deal! I'm curious about the rear wheels. I've never seen those type on that era of B-C series. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As my Uncle would say " It runs like a Waterbury watch". Mowed lawn with it and I was very impressed with the nice job it did. Have to be honest... This is the first time I ever mowed lawn with a Wheel Horse. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually got off the mower and my back wasn't killing me. With the exception of a Yazoo Master Mower my Father- in- law had all I have ever mowed with is "box store" riders. Mrs. TIG even complimented how nice the lawn looked. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing working on the 1054 and now the C-120 I should be able to figure out how to get the 875 fired up. Yes you're right I am hooked for life!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the wheel horses do give a nice cut. They are not as fast as the 20+ horsepower z-turns but the work is so much more enjoyable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,424 #40 Posted July 18, 2016 I took the mule drive and deck off the 418 I bought and put them on the one I already had and started mowing with it. It cuts so much better than my other one that I parked the JD I was using out back. Only thing I miss is the power steering and using my feet for the direction. If I get the parts tractor going, I think I am going to strip the JD of its power steering and put it on the 418a. Then I will figure out a way to adapt the foot pedals to the tractor for a total package. One day....... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That other 12hp Kohler I picked up has the PTO on it and I'm thinking about taking that off to possibly use on the 1054. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
