TIGman 2,006 #1 Posted April 22, 2017 A friend told me a back last fall he had a Wheel Horse in his barn I could have, he just had to dig it out . Well he got it dug out today. I believe it is 753 from looking at photos and the fact it has a Kohler K161 7 hp engine. Could not find any ID tags on the tractor. Still a dusty Barn Queen in the pictures. Everything there except air cleaner cover and the fact it was the victim of an attack in the gear shift area..... :/ Trying to figure out what missing in the tranny? 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 56,025 #3 Posted April 22, 2017 Looks to me like a previous owner didn't know how to remove the shifter and had to pull the tranny so he drilled a series of intersecting holes. You should be able to tig that back, no problem. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse79 271 #5 Posted April 22, 2017 Someone did something similar on the 854 I bought 5 years ago. I bought a replacement tank stand off of ebay and didn't try to fix it. I preserved the original serial number sticker which is 40927. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
