As the post-er you can go back and edit them but not delete. When I triple post I go back and change the second two to something like a " . " Or highlight the whole post and hit the space bar to blank the post. At the top right corner (on my device at least) there's a little flag you can click/poke to "Report" the post. That brings up a window in which one can send a note to the mods. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Bill in VA 1,452 #45 Posted July 30, 2022 Hummmm well this might take a bit BUT. I had tried to find a Wheel Horse that was sold by my local dealer the year they opened up (1961) and one day a guy contacted me that he had an old Suburban series Wheel Horse that original sold at my dealer. And he talked the Wheel Horse up good! Yes, I was excited and loaded up the trailer and made the long drive out of town to get what I had wanted. Upon arrival I saw the trip was a waste of time, now the Wheel Horse was a 1961 Suburban but with many modifications. The engine was a huge Briggs and Stratton that required most of the hood to be cut away and I could have delt with that but the seat .... well let's just say that there is a kid's elementary school cafeteria that is missing a fiberglass chair! That seat was a "nope" on the deal to me. Another odd ball deal was what came with the 1964 model 704 I bought up in mountains on the other side of the state from me. The seller said, "This snowplow goes with the deal, ya' gotta take it too". Now this snowplow just looked home built but an extremely well-done job. The paint was great looking on the snowplow even the right color, but the dang thing just didn't look like any Wheel Horse snowplow I had ever seen. all the way home I kept thinking that I just need to dump this snowplow off someplace because if ain't Wheel Horse it ain't coming to my house! Now ya' know I just could not dump that snowplow off somewhere that just is not right, and it's good thing I didn't because it was a super hard to find factory BD-42-71 Dozer blade for the 1961 Wheel Horse model 701! This last story was a deal of a lifetime. I get a guy that called me about fixing the starter motor on his P.O.C. MTD lawn mower. Once at the guy's house I see he has a GT-14 in pieces and there is an Ark 500 front end loader sitting off to the side of the disassembled GT-14. The guy tells me you fix my starter motor and I will give the GT-14 with the loader. Now this guy had already removed the starter, so I didn't even have to do diagnostics on the job. The starter gets rebuilt, and I install it for him ..... now it all sounds good, but the starter still did not work. OK so now had to diagnose the problem and all the MTD need was the ground for the starter repaired. A simple fix with 2 eyelets and 6 inches of #10-gauge wire! The total deal for rebuilding the starter cost me $42.00 and I got a parts GT-14 and an Ark 500 loader, a few weeks later I bought a good running GT-14 for $400.00 and mounted the loader to it.
