Do you have? I have 4, My main mowing tractor is a John Deere 445 with a 60" deck, Then for mowing inside my fenced yard I have a WheelHorse 257-H with a bagger. I also Have a WheelHorse B-80 With blade for moving horse stuff and a small mowing deck for back up and also have my 1st LT a Simplicity 4211 that I am restoring to new condition, as Ive had it for 20 years.

I thought that was a Wheel Horse. I've got a 1979 8-hp, but it needs a new gasline on it. We've got a Cub that's a couple years old for mowing, but I liked the WH because the clearance is so much better. The mower deck for it rusted too bad to fix so we just got the newer tractor. It mows in half the time, too.
I was rummaging around in the garage and found another 8hp motor for the old tractor, too. I don't know if that was a replacement grandpa had gotten or if he'd replaced it already. It's a great old tractor though.

I have an old massy-furgeson #7 electric start. Last year it was retired from mowing and will get restored one of these years, hopefully.
