    Looks to me like your new neighbors owe you several trips to the pub and supper afterwards for all that manpower.

    A friends Mom flipped his Work Horse on it's side 10 years ago.
    Horse went to the dealer, repaired and a new 48" SD deck. Parked in his barn after repairs. Never used again.
    Cleaning out his barn I offered, "I'll haul the tractor away 'No Charge."  Leon Redbone agreed.
     
    After cleanup, a bit of paint,  added the Dial-A-Height, machine is excellent.
    Didn't care for all gray, belt guards are now Rustoeum Regal Red. Coarse skateboard grip tape on the foot rests, new seat.

    Got my working wheelhorse out today, first job was to fit the refurbished rear wheels, change the standard seat for a heavier one and fit the wheel weights.
    taken off.
    two standand wheels 52lbs.
    standard seat.............11lbs.
    fitted on.
    two narrow wheels 48lbs.
    seat........................37lbs.
    two rear weights.....100lbs.
    so total extra is 122lbs, I'm pleased with that and should help with traction

    That's exactly how I found it, the hood has been repainted at some point, I'm just going to get some decals and leave as is, I think the wheels should be white but will wait for one of the Bolens boys to tell me the correct colours

    That's quite a nice find and a Bolens as well and with wheel weights........
    Was it that clean when you loaded it up or have you been busy with the soap and water.

    Rear wheel weights are something I've been wanting for some time. Now and then various ideas have crossed my mind, but I've never got around to actually doing anything.
      Art, (Old Tankman), put up a post on some he'd made. That was the kick I needed. The other day I acquired a pair of rear discs/drums off a Land Rover Freelander, out off the scrap bin at my local Land Rover specialists.    
     
      The disc fits nicely into the outer edge of the Wheel Horse rear wheel.
     
      Today, while visiting a local engineering workshop, I left with two of these pulleys.
     

     
      The pulleys also fit nicely into the inside of the wheels. 
      If you look closely, you will see two small holes in the drum. There's actually four and they are pilot holes for bolt holes to fasten disc/drum to pulley. You can see the four corresponding punch marks in the pulley. They are now drilled and ready for bolting together.
      Next I drilled four more holes in the pulleys for studs to bolt the finished weights to the wheels. These were spot drilled using a spare wheel as a jig. They were then drilled for tapping out 10mm. Here I hit a problem. I've a fair collection of taps, UNC, BSF, UNF, Metric and BSP. Believe it or not, NO 10mm taps to be found.

    I went up to a friends place on Saturday not 20 miles from here to collect a set of rear wheel weights and while i was there i saw the little tractor they came off.
    It was hiding in a dark container looking all forlorn to be losing part of its rearend so a deal was struck and it was loaded in my van.
    Its in good condition and will enjoy its new home with the Horses.
    Heres a few photos for you to look at and i need a new coil if anyone has one.

    Picked up a couple of rear wheel weights from a friend, they are about 50 lbs each and should help with traction,
    just got to clean them up and paint them but very pleased with them

    Hello from the USA ! I bleed orange but don't own one AC  . My grandpa and father owned a AC ag tractor dealership and somehow I started collecting Wheel Horses . I currently have 10 in the stable along with 2 1964 Simplicity's and a Massey Ferguson 12 .
     
    This is my son back in October 2015 on my RJ58 . The front weight is off an early Simplicity if you're wondering . It's amazing what these little tractor with a 4hp kohler can do!
