Nyle 12 #1 Posted March 19, 2020 Hello everyone, I have recently acquired an older wheel horse tractor, unfortunately it is missing the hood. I’m trying to figure out the model and year and so far all I’ve found is a serial number which is 32628 I will enclose a couple pics. Thanks for any help! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,502 #2 Posted March 19, 2020 It looks to be a '62-'64 model. Do you know what size engine is in it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bottjernat1 2,190 #3 Posted March 19, 2020 Welcome to the group!! There should I believe a tag above the starter button right up under the overhang of the dash. check there that will indicate what you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,784 #6 Posted March 19, 2020 @Nyle I love me some round hoods! That looks like an old Briggs engine, something that wasn’t used in those years. I’d say 502, 552 or 753 is my guess... but there are eagle eyes around here that can none in better than I! Again... welcome from my family to yours! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,032 #7 Posted March 19, 2020 Welcome to the forum. My guess is it is a 1963 model 753. 1962 models and early 1963 models had a 62-xxxxx serial number. Click on the picture Garry 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,300 #10 Posted March 19, 2020 Is the drive belt guard on it? Its on the opposite side of the tractor from the pictured you posted.. Should have a number on it like 753 or 702 or 854 etc... The motor is not original. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,765 #12 Posted March 19, 2020 I say 753 but no matter we like it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jennifer 1,877 #14 Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) to the site! Wise choice to find friends and advice of a horse! Gas tank looks to be a two piece, so doubt it’s a 702 going with 753! No matter what model it’s a HORSE OF COURSE!!!! Looks like it came with two useful attachments! Nice score! Heads up if that’s your first horse, you will find out it won’t be your last! Horses are heard animals and they get lonely.. Get a 2nd to keep it company and next your barn is full!!! Edited March 19, 2020 by Jennifer 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyle 12 #15 Posted March 19, 2020 Wow Thanks so much for the awesome reply’s. After having a few numbers thrown out I’m going with a 1963 753. The motor is a 70 model Briggs. It has three attachments, front blade, plow, and mowing deck. I’m excited about getting this old jewel running again. To my knowledge it hasn’t ran in about 15 years. If anyone has a lead on a hood that would be great. Once again, Thanks so much for the great response. -Nyle 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #18 Posted March 19, 2020 @Nyle Welcome to RedSquare. you have found the best site on the web for anything Wheel Horse. I am also gonna say its likely a 753, great little tractor, absolutely love mine. Here are some pics of mine the night I brought it home you can use for reference. I do have a hood that I'm not using that is in overall pretty good shape. Only thing wrong with it is a couple dings and it is missing the bracket on the base of the grille that bolts to the frame, but probably wouldn't be hard to fab one up for it. It's the one on the tractor along the wall in the background. If you can use it its yours for the cost of shipping. 1 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nyle 12 #20 Posted March 19, 2020 Professor burden 753, wow... I will take you up on that offer! I’m sure I can make a bracket. And those pictures are great. It gives me an idea of what I’m missing.so far I think the hood is the main part. Just let me know what I need to do. Thanks so much!!! -Nyle 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
