stevebo-(Moderator) 8,364 #2 Posted October 23, 2019 Imo that is the very best worker Wheelhorse made hands down. Engine will run forever and it is very simple. All the power you could need. I recently restored one and also found another at a local tag sale. Has just shy of 2800 hours and runs mint with no smoke or noise. May have been rebuilt at one point not sure. Best of luck with it! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farmall .. etc. so I found some Wheel Horse tractors - but the owners were not interested in selling later saw a few of those same Wheel Horse owners at the tractor and steam show in Portersville one particular Wheel Horse at a small service station in Slippery Rock caught my eye ... old mid-60's round hood with a snow plow ... every time I passed through that area I would stop in - and the answer was always 'No' lol finally convinced the owner to sell the mower deck ... had to find it first ...

bds1984 1,457 #20 Posted October 27, 2019 Nice score. I agree with Steevebo that the K341 is the best engine to have in a Wheel Horse. With a little work, this one will serve you well for years to come. I've had my C165 for nearly twenty-five years and will never give her up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
