Cute little feller! Looks to be C series Wheel Horse gear (looks like what they called an 8 speed) drive with an Arc loader. I had a C120 that I plowed garden and blew snow with. Mine got a split personality and became a Ford 8N and Farmall 1206! A lot of OEM parts are still available through TORO who now owns them. They have a pretty good parts lookup on line too.
Interestingly Cecil Pond, the founder of Wheel Horse ordered paint for them to be as close as possible to IH/Farmall red and white without being an exact match. He felt in the 50s-60-70s with many younger people moving off the farm to the suburbs that those with farm roots would associate with those colors.

This one was put together by one of my cousins. It is 10 HP Kohler powered. He added the high low gear box and told me it is mostly 1978 vintage. He was a Wheel Horse Mechanic at Colonial Power Equip. that was in New Town, Conn. for a number of years. He wanted it out of the yard as he does not have a lot of room where he lives so I brought it home. Moves some fire wood around with it. Could use some tire chains. After running big stuff that gets the job done for years, This little thing sure seems funny as all H--L to play with. :heh: Dandy Dave!

Then he will be able to tell you more about it than I can. They made a C80-100-120-140-16. 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16HP. They came gear, gear with hi low and hydro. The C series were sold from 74 until some time in the 80s. Good reliable little garden tractors. You can move a lot of dirt with one of those.......just take a very, very long time!
