Does anyone (Deerslayer) know how long this model was made? I don't have the VIN number yet.

I assume this a short frame. Does anyone know if the 3-blade 36" mowers will work on a short frame, or does this require the 2-blade geared deck.

On an unrelated Wheel Horse question - does anyone have for sale the old style front hitch for Charger/Raider/Electro long frame tractors? On these tractors it is two pieces that bolt to either side of the frame. From about 72 onward they went to a single u-shaped hitch.

Many thanks

The 854 was made only in 1964. It has an 8hp Kohler electric start engine and a 4 speed manual tranny. Below are the attachments that will fit an 854.

Deerslayer, thanks for the info - I knew you would come through. Now, anyone know if any of the 36" rotary mowers listed are 3-blade units?

The only thing I can think compares is the promise that Kawasaki made when it produced the original ZG 1000 Concours Sport Tourer. They committed to building the same bike over a number of years to allow the aftermarket to commit to the design.

I bought one in 1987--the bike was still made, basically unchanged, until this year. It has never become an "antique" bike, it is probably the best bike for the dollar you could get. Fast, powerful, and maneuverable.

I have never regretted buying a Wheelhorse Classic--even though it was expensive. It is worth every dollar I paid.

They are all 2-blade including the 42" deck.
