Wheel Horse 12 HP Charger
Model Year: 1971
Bought tractor from spring grove PA area. Good shape Kohler 12 HP runs great came with snow plow which plows excellent. Only weird thing is transmission oil color was muddied between red and brownish. I got varied answers about so I finally called a Toro dealer which explained that you can't get all the transmission oil out of the differential unless you take it apart. So he recommended adding clean type F transmission fluid and a new tran filter. Tractor runs smooth and strong.the lawn mower has a small rust spot that was easy to patch the bearing on the blades only need red high temp grease.all other grease fitting take regular brown grease. It's fun to operate and seems very strong while plowing.
Pros: Easy to fix simple design and parts are still available and cheap.
Cons: Distance to get parts from Baltimore.
