Ok, so I have (well my dad has) owned a few of these things from the 80s, so I know the ins and outs of the later ones, and I've been looking for one of my own to replaced my 2011 Juan Deer, not just because I like them better, but because attachment devices are plentiful and cheap, while stuff for my JD is rare and expensive.
Anyway, tomorrow I am going to look at a WheelHorse 855, guy isn't sure what year but a quick Google says probably 65/66. It hasn't run in 5 years or so, and he isn't sure why but thinks it's electrical.
Does anyone know enough about these really old ones to have any ideas about anything else I should be looking for on it? I plan to check the wiring, try to spin the engine by hand, and see if I can make the starter run.
Comes with plow and deck, guy is asking $500.
