Got any pics?
Have a chance to get a old wheelhorse, have questions
I am looking at a OLD wheelhorse, not sure of the model. It looks like a baby tractor with a white cover over the pan seat. I think it might be a RJ?? Does that sound right?
It has a Lawson 7 or 8 horse motor. How hard is it to find parts for these motors?
It also has a Wheelhorse tiller with a 7 or 8 horse Lawson motor on it.
These have been sitting for several years outside so I am thinking that the motors might be shot (hope not).
If I have to repower these what would be a good replacement motor?

Is there a serial number on the tractor's shift pattern decal?

Got it home this weekend, still not sure if it is a RJ or suburban. Need to find new front wheels, these are rusted beyond repair.
I will check for the serial number by the shift plate.
I figured that all of these were pull start only, but this one the motor has a starter on it.
Not really sure what this thing is.:dunno:

I know what you mean, the wife thinks I am crazy. But these little tractors help me do things I would not be able to do anymore, she dosen't seem to figure that out since she isn't the one tilling, hauling, ect.
By next spring I am hoping that I will have the hydro lift stuff on the B-110 and the 3 point on the GT18H. Also toying with the idea of getting the controls and parts from a JD H3 and putting that stuff on my Allis 916H.
These things have so much they can do, it is very addicting.

Your tractor is a 1961 model 551. The engine is a Lauson H55- 2113. H55 engines or parts are hard to find but many parts from a Tecumseh H60 will interchange with that engine. That's a good find with all the goodies on it like the belt guard, hood plug, original cables, foot rests and the H55. Many times all or most of those parts are missing so there is a high demand for the originals.
BattleRomeo is pretty darn good with these little tractors and stuff, I lean on him a lot to figure stuff out.
Now, if I can just get him to take the big dive into the GT world, maybe he will start getting some stuff I can barrow, instead of saying I am crazy for having multipal tractors then barrowing them:dunno:
