OK--1985 wheel horse is history--swapped for 1987 WH with 12 hp kohler magnum--went from 42" deck to 48" deck. This 87 is in much better shape & the old cast engine sounds real good. Did a lil test cut this AM & I'm impressed! I mow around 2 1/2 acres around the house soooo, when it dries out some, she's gonna earn her keep!! :lol:

Did it come with a set of engine covers? You'd look funny with your toes in that pulley.

I always thought it would appropriate for a warning decal on the mower decks--" Do not put face under deck while blades are engaged!" ;)
