picked up this Wheel horse 208-5 wednesday evening.
my friend dave needs a riding mower for his place, he has been paying someone 60 dollars a week to do it.
it would only run on choke. i went to order a carb kit and a new carb was cheaper.
Cute little wheel horse riding mower.

I had an old neighbor who had an old 3 wheeled Wheel Horse he mowed with. Small engine and deck but I remember how it turned on a dime and damned near popped wheelies. I dont see many Wheel Horse mowers here.

Is Wheel Horse still Wheel Horse? When I do a Craigslist search I keep finding people selling "Toro Wheel Horse" tractor/mowers.
