Anything anyone can tell me about a Wheel Horse A - 90 ?? How old , what size briggs is it? I thought all the old wheelhorse were horizontal shaft engines, this is vertical. Also have one without the model number (painted over). Looks pretty similar but the hood is about 8 inches longer.

I'll get some pics tomorrow in the daylight. I stopped to look at a Simp snow blower and ended up with 2 wheel horse tractors, 1 wheel horse deck, one wheel horse snowblower, the simp snow blower and 2 NOS Simp or A/C lift arms for one money.

The A-90 was first introduced in 1974.Then it looks like it was dropped for 1975 but then picked back up for 1976-1977 then I think it was dropped again...as I don't see any info on it after that...

They started making a cheaper set of tractors in the A & B series using vertical shaft engines and lower grade transmissions in the early 70's. Most I see are in the Junk category either from a bad tranny or bad engine. A very few parts from the B series types will interchange with the bigger tractors in the C series. Not sure about the A's.

Thanks guys. The one with the longer hood supposedly ran a year or so ago. No idea on the A-90 yet. Should know tomorrow. Probly ebay them anyway. Let a wh collector play with them. Wrong color for me but the price was worth the effort of resale I hope.

Here They Are: A-90 [img]/club2/attach/rokon2813/nov28517.jpg[/img] Did a little sanding to see this is a B-111

Here is the blower I'm gonna let go with the B

Since the B-111 is an 11 hp is the A-90 a 9 hp? There is no flywheel shroud on it so no numbers. By the way, they both run and don't smoke.

Hi, A number of years ago we changed out 2 L 181 Kohler Vertical shaft engines out of early Wheel Horses. They had a vertical shaft and were basically a k 181. Kohler at that time no longer listed them in the parts books and I have never seen any data on these engines, I still have them. We replaced them with 8 B&S. Anybody know anything about these engines? Al Eden

I don't know anything about the L 181...Also as far as I know Wheel Horse only used Briggs or Tecumseh for their Vertical shaft tractors...

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
