953 nut 55,321 #2 Posted February 24, 2021 The exhaust stack looks out of place but the rest looks original to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was my thoughts but I wanted some confirmation that the ags could be ordered as is. It brings back some fond memories even though I knew nothing of Wheel Horses back then. Seems a bit odd that there's no deck, ags, and a fairly nice lawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that lack of interest in gardening and the ZTR kill a lot of interest in GTs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #6 Posted February 25, 2021 That rear hitch looks interesting. Doesn't look like a standard slot hitch, or the brinly style either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ag tires were a factory option as seen in this brochure. 15 minutes ago, 71_Bronco said: That rear hitch looks interesting. Doesn't look like a standard slot hitch, or the brinly style either. That hitch is for towing a wagon or other tagalong equipment. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like 953 stated there's the add on bracket for towing on there too which was used because of the deck lift parts using the typical hitch. Looks to be a 550, the shiny dot to the right of the steering shaft is the key start 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rj35hunter 283 #11 Posted February 25, 2021 I see the Fairbanks recoil...that’s a 4 HP Kohler and the tractor is a 1960 400 with the wrong hood decal....the shiny spot by the steering wheel is a reflection from the sun on the shiny paint of the hood. It has the 1960 foot pedals and clutch pedal. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #14 Posted February 25, 2021 I have to say something about that hat because my father used to wear one a lot like that. He had a straw one in the summertime! I believe they were called a fedora. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also had a couple of straw hats that he used while out in the yard/fields. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that recoil size looks awfully big compared to that gentleman's leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
