A good friend of mine (Larry) used to farm near Mishawaka Indiana. When the State put a new highway through his farm he relocated to West Central Indiana not far from us. He recently found this lawn tractor. The only identifying marks on it was the serial tag. It said model; vm100 157006 ser; 6083d. 1076 Made by Heilman Enterprises, Mishawaka In. He doesn't remember it. but Because it was made in his hometown he bought it. I took some pictures and started searching the internet for him. Turns out that he bought a LAWN ROV'R. His is a model 1076 with a 10 h.p. Tecumseh. It had a Haban snowblower with it. If my information is correct they made it from 1971-1989. They made five different models: 876 877 1076 1177 1178. The steering components look exactly the same as some Wheel Horse units. If they weren't replaced at some time perhaps they were originally outsourced from Wheel Horse? The last pictures are from the internet and show what this unit should look like.
If anyone has any further information Larry would appreciate it. Rick
