Ian_Courts 77 #2 Posted February 24, 2018 This might help, I think it's a '74 http://www.wheel-horse.co.uk/models2.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,147 #3 Posted February 24, 2018 Added your 1001816 serial to the list. Sure it is not 1011816? You will see why I ask. The model number is written like this 1-0650 The 9 is not used but when you see a 6th digit subtract 5 from that number and you get the model year. 9-5=4=1974. Attachments at the time also had a 6th digit. Click on the pictures below. Garry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
