Dealt away a Wheel Horse Electro 12 for some cash and two MF 10 garden tractors. One mostly complete, the other for parts. Parts tractor serial number puts it as a 1967 model. The other one is a 1970 model.
1967 model has a srarter/generator, unknown condition of engine.
1970 model turns over but has no spark.⚡️
Both will be sitting on the back burner for a while.

Looks like you may get one real good tractor out of both, Rick? Sure is a lot of folks in your area with good stuff!

I saw this 10 on FB this afternoon. I like that cab! Didn't think the price was too bad since it looks to be operational.

Parts tractor was sitting on a dolly.
Transaxle is same one in the older John Deeres. Scrounged up a hub to fit. Looked in my snap ring collection, right on top was a green one, perfect! I had gotten a pair of rims/tires with the massey but didn’t hold air. Put on a couple from my stash and now have a roller. Much easier to move.

I still have the 2 MF10's parts tractors I got from GLgrumpy years ago, never did anything with them.

Do either of you guys have these deflectors? I cropped this out of one of Rick's pictures above.

My 12G never had them and there doesn't appear to be a provision to mount them on the fender pan. If I ever plow s-word with it again I would like to have them!

Sorry, Doug. The parts tractor doesn’t have any of the rear tins.

Congratulations on your new machines there Rick! But sorry to hear you had to sell your Wheel Horse. I always loved these tractors and really want one someday so I will be following along here.

Those tins almost look to be homemade. Or the very least made..

Doug it wouldn’t take much to fab those deflectors. A few minor bends and getting the pattern right. If you want I could dig mine out and make you a pattern and send it to you. I found this after offering my help lol

I'm not sure mine does either but it's covered under a tarp and 10" of snow.

Odds are that if you have an extra set you would want them for future use anyway. Those from a 10 should fit a 12 also, correct?

They are a factory piece, Bill. Don't see many of these tractors that never had them My 12G is a 1975, about the end of that era of GT's . Maybe they cheaped out in late production tractors.

It wouldn't be too difficult, to build them but I am lazy, Jim! I think that those Epay ones will be mine. I appreciate you finding them. About a year ago epay sided with a seller that screwed me over after a month of defending myself, so I have really been looking elsewhere to buy stuff. It was very obvious the seller was Chinese as was the representatives I dealt with trying to get a refund. Seller said he was in Texas. Anyway, I'm going to order them. The chains soaked the back of the leg of my Carhartt's when I plowed s-word with it.

I only have the MF7 thats been predator swapped. I'd like to find an MF12 to restore, but I'd never do anything with it, so I can just watch you guys build something!

They are hard to find. I bought 9 acres back in the mid 80’s and needed to keep about four acres cut when I bought mine. We sold the property about 12 years later and it went into storage for about 15 years. I started to sell it until I came across GTtalk and found out how popular old GT’s were. I started tinkering with it and eventually tore the whole tractor down. I SB and primed everything and put it away. Going into this new year I have three to finish and I want to finish this MF12H as a trailer queen. I’ve always thought the combination of their colors make them one of the best looking GT’s out there.
 
I have never seen a Hydro in our area of the 10-12 series tractors. Saw one other G at the Threshing Bee a couple years ago. It was a runner but obviously sat outside a lot. Had a rear lift but no sleeve hitch. He wanted $500 for it. Mine is the only other one I have ever seen in person.

My 12G is what made me get into GTT back in 2011. I was still healing from a bad infection after a surgery. A friend told me he was selling his mower for $250. I told him no I got a mower. LOL! What I had was that old MTD 660 in my avatar and a late 1980's Murray! He put it on CL for $350. I looked at the pictures and thought "Hey I have a yellow Massey-Ferguson that I plow snow with"! "It would be kind of fun to have one to mow with too"! After about 2 weeks I tried to call him. They were out of town for a week drag racing in Wyoming it said on the voice recorder on the land line. I had a flip phone then, but they didn't have a cell. Had made my feeble mind up that I wanted that 12G. Was still listed on CL. When they got back home he had a couple messages that there were some folks interested, but he sold it to me for $250. I wheelied it over on my back loading it on his little tilt bed trailer, tractor nose was sticking straight up in the air with my legs holding it there rather that coming clear over on me! The brace that held his trailer tilted fell out and the bed levered the front of the tractor up in the air---LOL! They got me uprighted and was all worried that I was hurt, especially since I had been sick. Was my first test of adrenalin, I guess. Anyway, I did a search for info and ran into GTT. Figured out these things have a "cool factor". Been hooked ever since.

Long winded again. Sorry!
