I saved another wheel horse from the crusher

[@Nomed38]

It's always nice to see some of the younger generations salvaging what others callously throw away. With some luck there will be a detailed patent filed for that Wheel Horse if you can find the model number somewhere on it, that is if you're interested in replacing any missing parts/repairing as close to the original as possible. It never ceases to dishearten me the functional machines and items people will throw away simply because they are too lazy to find them a new home, though without their slothfulness you wouldn't have found such a "diamond amongst the glass".

I like the wheel horse mower decks. I’m building a pull type that runs off the rear pto of a cub cadet.

I've seen a few old tractors at the yard that were in nice shape but there was an old Toro like that it looked like it came off the showroom floor aside from being dusty it still had ALL of the rubber nibs on the tires but those tires were stock not replaced
