Excellent. 1974 B80 4 speed was my first one here a few years ago.

Loved them Wheel Horse tractors. Used to own three of them back in the 80's a good durable machine.

I like that blade.

That's a fairly rare Implement that's in high demand nowadays. Mid Mount Grader. We have one on a 1967 867. Works excellent. Might be videos in my history somewhere.

Absolutely wonderful to see a classic Wheelhorse!!!

Wow, never had one of those beauties, but I sure would love one. Mr. Gary Fleckenstein has a wonderful machine there, Thanks.👍

Nice to have the autograph. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

Love it! Nice job!

Mr. Gary is "Glued" to that Wheelhorse's seat ,& Not giving it up "fer- nuthen". .....l myself grow-up on them with a "68 Raider 10" ,a "74 C-16". At the age of 45 inherited a "94 C-160H" & restarted a "County-life", & was happy. Then Tradjectly got "Stupid" @ the age of "50", & bought 2 different "2012"/24&26 hp." Craps-man Twack-tor's"... thought they were my "Solution" to "high-speed mowing& towing",& I WAS WRONG × TEN. Returned those "Scraps-mens" for a 2000.°°$ LOSS . Then the "Quest" Began for another helper to my 1996 C-160-H Wheelhorse-/ "REAL TRACTOR". Acquired Five MORE, in various but mostly "sad-conditions " & made three of them run "Tip-Top",& the "Ranch" was in Good Shape! The "Quest" was almost over, When a "2003" 50th Anniversary Special showed up at my "Big-Tractor Store"( have them also). So l waltez of to the Dealer with my 850-bucks & the "New-Rig" became mine. I was a "Cadillac of the Wheelhorse's " a "neglected 800hr machine" that was "put out to pasture & on its last legs". With some fine love, monkey-wrenching ,30hrs of Work,& only 200$ it Became a "Master-Piece" it once was.....A 20HorsePower D-20H( with extended wheel-base,heavy-duty front axle) model/ with Golden-Horse hub-caps & "Stock 50th Anniversary Stickers& Paint". The 60" fabricated-cast-iron spindles-mower deck that it "totes around " is ANOTHER of its Outstanding Attributes. With SIX of these "Fine Stallions " in my Coral ,things are "Great" here on the "Donderosa ".

Just an FYI... that hood decal setup is incorrect. That’s from a later model. A common replacement because the originals could be tough to find in the past. Much easier nowadays.

I know a bunch of guys that own dozen and dozen of Wheel Horses,I don't know why so many?

It's, just because they Can DO "Wheelies" at a drop of a hat..... And EVERYTHING ELSE BETTER than those 17-26hp vertical shaft engine "New-fangled, so called modern " gas-guzzling pieces of JUNK ,with "Watch-gears" for a Drive-train that "Strip-out" AUTOMATICALLY.

Just like any other type of collection. Gotta have a different model or year or option etc. We have around 15 here on the acreage. Absolutely excellent machines. We use them regularly.

You are right 👍 "and everything else better"I still have my 702 I bought 33 years ago but my D will not do a wheelie, too heavy I guess.​@@donaldstrishock3923

Fix a flat

Very nice

He mentioned tractors today, THERE IS NO TRACTORS TODAY, MTD HAS BOUGHT ALL MOST ALL BRANDS AND TURNED THEM INTO LOW QUALITY PILES OF SHIT.

Not to defend MTD... but they do exactly what they are told to by the purchaser of their products. Back in the day MTD could and did build a decent tractor... if that's what was ordered.
