[upstate yank 219]

I AM NOT SURE IF ANYONE HERE CAN HELP ME BUT TODAY MY NEIGHBOR AND I WENT ON A 2 HOUR DRIVE ONE DAY TO PICK  A WHEEL HORSE TRACTOR WHICH FOR THE PRICE OF 200 DOLLARS WHICH  I THOUGHT HE DID ALRIGHT FOR THE YEAR AS BEING A 1967 AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I THINK IT IS BUT ANY WAYS THERE IS NO KEY FOR IT ;IT HAS THE PULL START PLUS THE STARTER BUT AGAIN NO KEY' SO IF ANY ONE MIGHT HAVE A SPARE OR KNOW WHERE TO GET ONE HE SURE WOULD APPRECIATE IT ;HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF THE OLD GIRL ; 

AS WELL THE TIRES ARE GOOD ON IT PLUS THE BELTS;THOUGH THE IS WHAT DO YOU USE TO REMOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO REMOVE THE HOOD 'THANKS AND I HOPE TO HEAR BACK

It is a lawn Ranger for sure I would guess an L157 but the steering wheel is not correct. probably a roll pin in there you have to drive out. Rangers originally used a clevis pin and hair  clip for the steering wheel.

Plus start soaking the shaft with penetrating oil now.

BUT AGAIN NO KEY

 

I may be wrong but I think you need a Cole Hersee key.

again thanks for the information but still with the wheel not being the correct one i think he did good for the 200 he gave where the owner at first wanted 300 'i will talk to my neighbor tomorrow and tell him but i am sure he won't be disappointed about it as he is happy to have a horse ';just think another horse collector ;
