Hey Joe! Hijack away! This old 800 Special was my primary mower for years before I got the Simp/Allis bug.





Then.......when it was no longer my primary mower I did this to it....







And lastly......here's a Video of the old Wheel Horse in action after the opposed twin re-power. That's my buddy Badmoon (Chris) taking it for a "spin."



I never have a problem with someone redirecting my threads, so have at it! It's all about fun with our machines right?

Joe, I only saw one thing wrong with your Wheel Horse....no plumbing for that toilet engine

Truth be told......Briggs DID make toilets too. Somewhere in my cluttered up mess of a photo album I have a picture of this rare breed of a toilet. I was shocked to see that it was on someone's porch!!! But then again.....Briggs is better at being under a hood than under someones butt!! lol Sorry....I HADTA!!!!! hehe

Here's a couple more pics of the line up. Just a couple at a time instead of them all in one pic....







They certainly are addictive!! I'm planning on getting all my atachments lined up for a photo op as well. It's taken years to accumulate the things I want and there's still many more items on the list. If not for ebay, I wouldn't have any where near the collection that I have. Being disabled is the pitts. If I have a want on my wish list I have to sell in order to buy. But it's worked well for me for some time.

Joe, I had many conversations with Dutch on the phone when all that was going down. He's a good guy that just got a bumm wrap like Ron did. At least we have our saint and savior Michael!!!!

What can I say,,,,I've always had very good luck with the toilet engines.
I think it's all in how you cuss them.

Ron would agree with you on the Kohlers. I've rebuilt a couple of the old cast iron single lugs and they are easy to work on, but I'm just more familiar with my B&S engines. What's the old saying? If we all looked alike we wouldn't know the difference?

On the other site, that Agway/MTD is a dirty word,,,,But in my book, a LAWN mower that lasts, goin on 25 years,,,is a good'n!!
And with luck, I'mm mow with it this year too!!

Sean, if I had all those tractors, I'd never be able to make the desision on which one to mow with

BTW, there was no deck on the WH,,,sounds like it's just as well.

Joe, I would sure like to see your 400's and what ever else you are collecting. You know, showing pictures is a requirement...

shocking Sean, I do believe that is punishable in Wisconsin as a crime against nature. I had to cover my eyes...having grown up in an Allis House.

It amazes me where YouTube will take you when you set out to only look for one type of video. I started looking at Allis and Simps and wound up watching herculean women tossing bowling balls some 20 feet at a dunk tank target!

Joe, my Wheel Horses rear discharge deck wound up being donated to keep a B-80 in service. Then, when I converted the B-80s owner to Simplicity and Allis-Chalmers, the 800 Special, GT14 Automatic and B-80 all wound up on ebay to fund the Simp/AC bug.

Phil...I found that video shortly after searching for Simp/Allis videos and right before the hurculean women...lol.

Phil,
Once it warms up a bit more here, I'll get the pics of the 400s for you.
If you looked in my photobucket thing, you'll see a watch fob collection.
If I get a couple good pics of them, I'll start a thread in the yakin section,,,,ok???
Sean's thread here could end up like some we get over on MBN.
It works over there,,,but I got no idea how or why.
But I think we better not push Mike over here.
Heck, no one has corrected my spelling or grammer yet, I'm still try'n to get over that.

Sean, when I was welding, an old timer friend did a few lawns with a WH and rear dischare deck. He was always after me to plug the hole and open up a side one. I had a hard time convince'n him there was a bit more to it than that.
But he hated it do to always leaving a windrow

That was one complaint of mine also Joe. And.....I couldn't use my lawn vac! But that's not a problem now.
