HOLY Wheelhorse 10 Auto Batman.
I just rescued one of these from the scrap shredder. It was headed there on a trailer under a PU truck. Steering wheel bent and a small ding in the hood. It sure held up that old PU well. Told the guy I would give $50 and I got it. I am more of a Massey guy but just could not let this old WH go to the shredder.
I later found out from some of the WH guys on this site that the Automatic 10 was only made in "73. Not sure how many were made but we (you & me) have 2 of them.
Mine actually runs and cuts with the included deck. Does need a lot of TLC but hydro seems fine but leaks. Can be fixed.
Yours looks a lot better than mine. I see I am missing a belt shield on the right side. I do not have that.
