Alex175 784 #1 Posted April 1, 2019 Brought home my third Wheel Horse yesterday. Last week I sold an old Honda ATC 3 Wheeler that I had kicking around. When the guy picked it up he noticed a spare plow I had laying around and mentioned he had his father's old Wheel Horse sitting around and he should probably sell it. Well it didn't take long for me to give him his money back. It's not the original motor, and they cut the hood to make the new motor fit, but other than that it's a good looking machine. 9 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,338 #2 Posted April 1, 2019 It’s a shame they had to butcher the hood. I have a 655 with a roached Tecumseh 5 hp. Ended up putting a k181 on it . Good luck with it keep us posted on the results!! Most of all.... to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex175 784 #5 Posted April 2, 2019 Thank you all for the warm welcome. Been lurking on the forums for a while, but it felt like a good time to make my first post. 10 minutes ago, 953 nut said: Good trade and a very nice tractor. You mentioned two others in your title, @953 nut The two others are my C-Series. The 175 was my grandparents tractor that I inherited, and I bought the 145 last year so I could run one with a plow and one with a blower so no matter what type of snow fell I was good to go! Needless to say I conquered the winter this year. 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those 55s sure do turn a sharp radius. Run my 655 with a Kohler 8 as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 69,250 #11 Posted April 2, 2019 @Alex175 I've got a hood up here in Maine that's pretty beat up on the front but solid with no cuts. I'll be in Athol and Deerfield Massachusetts in the next month or so. If it'll help you I'd let it go for cheap cheap. You'd have to be a bit handy with metal working or just put up with the dents.

Glenn Believe me, if I had the storage space, and didn't think I'd be thrown out of my house there would be more @ebinmaine I'm not great with metal work, but I will think about it and let you know before you head down this way. Thank you for the offer, it's greatly appreciated! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
