Man I love the old wheelhorse tractors they are really soiled and good work horses
What do you think of this wheelhorse tractor? Let us know in the comments! Dont forget to subscribe to this channel! Thank you for saving the tractors!
love it, and the new hat too.
So will you be making transmission parts for wheel horse garden tractors?
This thing is awesome and I can't Beleave u got it that cheap
Whare do you get all your tractors.
lets take a good close look at that thing!
tear it down and build it back up!
After watching your video, I looked up the tractor, only to realize my dad has one of these without the hood, scoop, or markings. He received it several years ago as a rolling frame as a trade from someone. He cleaned it up, put a rebuilt motor on it, and uses it as a small utility tractor around his property to pull a small trailer and as a vehicle to just joyride around his yard. It would be nice to see yours restored with a fresh coat of paint!
Keep 'er Norman! Growing up my dad had a circa 1959 wheel horse lawn tractor which i learned to mow grass and plow snow with,good memories :)
I like it! I wouldn’t sell it, it’s a nice old classic, and that’s why we collect them.
I love Wheel Horse tractors and my stable has 5 of them in it so far. My latest acquisition is a 1975 C-120 Hydro that I have equipped with a dozer blade and I use that for plowing out my driveway. I have loaded ag tires on the back with wheel weights and chains, this tractor really gets the job done.
Keep it. This video brought back memories for me. My dad bought me my first WH when i was 8 yrs old. Exact same tractor minus the loader. Thanks for sharing.
love the idea of changing the tires with the dolly!! gotta love dem horses!
Nice video Norman keep up the good work and a happy new year, cant wait to see that thing in 1 foot of snow!
Please restore this machine! I recently picked up a C-125 with loader looks very similar to yours. I plan on restoring it this winter. Great channel👍
I picked one of these up a couple years ago, has made a world of difference with upkeeping my over grown back lot
The loader is worth a lot more than you paid for the tractor!... Folks wonder what they are good for, I tell them it beats the snot out of a shovel and wheelbarrow! It's a shame that nobody makes a small loader for them these days, but nobody really makes a rugged garden tractor either. You have grass machines or compacts.
Exactly! People don't understand the difference between garden tractor and lawn mower
John Deere is making that modular garden/lawn tractor expensive but SOMEONE DOES MAKE IT!
@@alexduke5402 The small sub-compact that JD makes is bigger than this. I have a sub-compact Kubota BX2680 about the size of the JD compacts 20-25 HP.
This Wheelhorse is smaller or about the size of than biggest garden tractors you find at home Depot or Lowes. At one time they could be outfitted with small loaders, had 3 point hitches and even shaft PTO's off the front and rear.. I have an Simplicity 2010 with a Lord Loader on the front, which runs off a front PTO shaft. It's powered by a 10 HP Kohler. I also have a 19.5 Sears garden tractor from the '90's. Side by side the Sears is a bigger tractor but the Simplicity will walk all over it.
Shaft driven standard with a clutch unlike the ones made now that are belt driven. It also is heavier.
Simplicity still makes a true garden tractor with loader.
Wuggly Ump yeah I know what your talking about. like the REAL Craftsman mowers from this country's steel age. I thought jd offered them that small. my judgment may be skewed growing up on a seed farm. but even those big Craftsman Kohlers are up 18 19hp. I mean your pissing in the wind putting a loader on a 12hp Briggs. you know you start getting to consumer market at that HP. any loader setup will be kinda high dollar they are worth their weight in silver. and everyone knows that. my brother in-law has a B7100 he wants a loader for and we have a B21 loader backhoe they are both around 20-23hp. The 7100 although 4wd just doesn't seem loader worthy imo. No power steering and it's not geared low. It's made for front snow blowing/snow plowing. Has a 60" belly mower I just had to rebuild gearbox. I'm I'm not sure if they even offer a loader. or he's hoping for me to Fab him one up! I guess anything is better than nothing with these small tractors!! Growing up with all this equipment at my disposal I really couldn't imagine life without it
I’d love to see it restored and painted. I have a 1969 Wheel Horse walk behind snow blower that still runs like a champ looks good too.
Norman, great video and a great little tractor. Keep it and restore it.
we have four horses up and running and another one coming soon and enough parts to build at least a couple more.
I was at that same auction.
We took home 5 tractors and a slew of parts.
Keep the great videos coming!
Good looking project you have there and the price was right!!!!
That thing screams Mad Max. LOVE IT!!!
Nice tractor Norman definitely worth restoring once again enjoyed the video like seeing those old tractors being restored
Cool little tractor you got a great deal I like those older tractor easy to fix and maintain 👍👍you should keep it I would
I really like the Wheelhorse tractor, it’s like 100 times better than a shovel and a wheelbarrow. Anything you do with the tractor always turned out real nice. Love the channel keep up the good work
Id love to see more videos on this wheel horse
Do it Norman! Always look forward to a new IST video, especially if it involves an old Kohler
I would like to see the Wheel Horse get a full restoration in 2019! Happy New Year!
thats a nice little tractor definitely worth the money
That would be a nice one to restore. Yeah keep it and use it to clean the stalls.
Would be great to see a restoration on this. I love my C85 ..thanks for keeping me in parts for it!
I'm a Wheel Horse guy, so naturally my vote is to keep it. And you will make pretty much all of the collectors out there crazy with the price you paid for all that. Unbelievable luck. I am going to build a loader for one of my 520's after I convert it to an 8 speed.
Me and my dad lawnmower raced wheel horses back in the day would love to see one restored
Dude that tractor is so cool I wish I could find one like that with the loader
Great video Norm, Nope, contrary to popular opinion I say you sell it to some unselfish soul who has had one of these very same old tractors on his wish list for a long time now, AS IS, WERE IS,!!! and let him have some fun restoring it with isavetractors parts of course. you know someone like------?---- ME!!!! seriously though a great buy! I'm never that fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. What a blessing Ray P.
Awesome ! More wheelhouse vids Norman !
I like it, nice little tractor, big bucket 💯👍
A set of chains on those new wheels would help out on the traction.
what a beauty & HUGE bucket. ive got the C-160
Go for the restore , that’s a nice loader 😁👍👍
It would be nice to see it restored :D
Patina is always cool but that would look fantastic restored! I would definitely change the control valve. Happy New Year Norman & Family!
Please restore!! Wheelhorse of course! 👍🏻
I love the ARK loader! I just got an ARK 600 for the PMax and can’t wait to try it. I’m planning to switch the spool valve to a 4 way 4 sho! Also, I have a hand drive hydro so that isn’t ideal ... but we will see. I wish I got mine for $200 🤪
That's awesome totally restore it
I lean so many awesome ideas from you Norman
Looks like a keeper to me.. I'm a sears guy and do like the old wheel horsrs
Happy New year Norman, restore it!
Sweet little machine
That's a Great Addition Norman , I would keep it , but I try to keep them All !!!!!! LOL
I own a wheel horse c-141, l like it, but I wish I have one like your ford tractor with FEL, also the blue and white colors Combo make it look great 👍
Very cool find. Restore that 1
NOTHING beats a horse
Give it some love
I love my hi/lo range transaxle on my raider 10.
Awesome video
Keep it and restore it!
Curl your bucket as you push into the pile this lessens the force on the FEL frame and allows you to fill the bucket. Also try to let the bucket float on the ground without putting pressure upon the machine (lifting the front end) this will help you when doing bucket work you’ll be and ace in no time.
I have seen 2 of the 5 bolts swapped for studs and lug nuts used at garden tractor pulls to make swapping wheels quicker😉
Nice I want that be a good piece for my wheel horse collection
I hope you kept this tractor to restore. Big Wheel Horse fan here and I'd love to have one with a loader.
It's coming into the shop soon! It's the next major video project!
great tractors i have 3 they sure don' t make them like these nowadays all they have now is throw away junk at lowes and home depot
Yeah and that zero turn radius mowers which are nothing but garbage in my book.
Nice tractor
Love it where can I get a loader for mine and I have another question can I change my 1990 10hp Koehler over to a 16hp Koehler single cylinder without any modification thanks Ron
Very nice!
I use to have a 4x4 D165 yanmar tractor with that loader, that loader was the best digging loader I ever had, they used the yanmar sub frame and used the tractor hyd for the hyd tank the loader vlv was a cesna two spool loader vlv,i had to rebuild it it was sticking be carefull when you take it apart ball bearings will take off
Great Idea to use the cheap mover dollies to mount the tire, especially when they are filled beet juice or RV antifreeze.
Mowers&blowers sent me, I subbed buddy.
I vote for a thorough servicing and paint job please!
Love the loader
Nice, I have been looking for ones like that. No luck around here....
I got one...hate it!!! Can't wait to sell it!!!!
I like how there is an actual horse behind the Wheel Horse...
Would like to see the mechanical side of this, how the hydraulic pump works etc. Very cool set up.
Pretty cool.
Hi Norman,
Un bel engin, j'aime beaucoup. 😉
Full restoration please
Restore it to its former glory!
Restore it! I would especially like to see a breakdown and restoration on the hydrolics system and the loader
This is the type of tractor I'd like to get my hands on, it would be perfect for our tiny yard. Big garden tractor with a bucket, tougher than a typical flimsy riding mower. Sadly I never seem to be able to find one for sale with a bucket loader and people ask stupid money for these things without them. So you're best off buying a small farm tractor which is too big. :P
You could make a center blade to put the deck lift to use.
You need tire chains for it if you live in Maine
Whatever do you get all your tractors.
It would be cool to see it with a log grapple
That's the direction I am leaning with my bolens tractor. Bucket just isnt large enough to make much sense with the slow hydraulic rates.
A set of forks and a remote grapel or even just a set of forks I can put a pallet box on and shovel more than these can scoop.
I like that wheel horse my Cousin is rebuilding one , I saved a nineteen sixty five Allis Chalmers big ten ,love the videos
I like it
Restore it... it's a cool piece of history gone by.
Worth restoring..especially since you have a matching loader, from the fCtory. Its pretty rare to find a garden tractor with a loader that was biught at the same time as the tractor and not being aftermarket.
Im looking for a loader for my LGT-145 now and there are 3 on craigslist..all $1000 each and one comes with a case 444 attached to it..for $1100 Yikes!
Keep it!
i have a c141 hydro wheel horse and also a gt 14 wheelhorse great tractors, i think you should keep it
nice loader
2:45 - OMG you didn’t use a cross pattern nor a torque Wrench on those lugs! What happens when you hit 9mph? Them wheels will fly off causing mass casualties ; just reckless
Lol. My calculator watch acts as a torque meter ;) if this wheel horse went 9mph I would be peeing myself for sure!
I was just about to say that lol
@@Isavetractors pulley swap time lol
It's called Blue Torque tighten till your face turns blue really I saw torque specs on his wrist watch too!
Those stock size tires appear much nicer and better aspect ratio
Hey man can you post up a short vid of like how they attached the loader to that narrow frame
Have had this one fore about 5 years it's on a 312- moved 30 tons of dirt and stones for new driveway was on a C120 when I got it would you have a manual for this loader would like to get one
Whare is it at
I'm in Niagara county in NY
Paula, go on Red Square. Wheelhorse forum. Amazing bunch of people on there. They'll be able to help you out with manuals and all the parts and Technical information you could possibly imagine and then some.
How many loaders do you have now? I have two, both sears cause that's what I'm into.
As much as I think a small tractor with a FEL would be handy, the old girl looks like she's struggling a bit. There seems to be a lot of bounce on the front wheels. Are they up to the task of running a loaded bucket? I had to get some 4 ply tires on my IH Cub, and she only has a blade on her. I've had mysterious leaks, cracks, and just plain problems after going to a set like those on the WH.
Can you do a video on rebuilding and replacing the seals on a welded hydraulic cylinder similar to the ones on the wheel horse loader?
I have a wheel horse bronco 14 with a leaking lift cylinder and a John deer 112 with a Johnson work horse loader that has a leaking cylinder or two.
Thanks.
Got the same loader...where do you get cylinder seal kits?????
I really want a small tractor like that can't find one around here
Norman,
I need some weight for the back of my loader cub, I'd be interested to see and hear about some of your weight boxs you've got or other options for rear weight, I have loaded the tires with WW fluid, I'm looking for ideas to build or buy
also do you do anything for front weight? I have a 70's Yanmar with a back blade and it needs some weight on the front as it pops wheelies really easily.
thanks
scott
See our video on the JD400 front weight bracket build, that should give you ideas. A simple idea for rear weight is to make a simple frame and stack the concrete blocks. I think they are 8 x 16 x 4 or something and weight 30 lbs each. I have 8 of those on the back of my Ford LGT loader machine
@@Isavetractors thanks!
I really, really need one to fix my wheel horse 520lxi. I can't find one anywhere! Please help if you can. Thanks David
If you still have this will horse put tires on the opposite side and may work a little better
What would an asking price be on the tractor once its been gone over?
Do, you know where anyone can find old parts for these Wheel Horse machines I have a 1972 Raider 12
Lucky duck. I'd love to get paid to find a wheel horse.
Your supposed to start them and run them on full throttle that's why they have governors on them and I think Norman knows what he is doing
