Introduction
Wheel Horse 264 Garden Tractor
The Wheel Horse 264 is a garden tractor produced by the Toro-owned manufacturer between 1994 and 1996. Designed primarily for residential property maintenance, this model was offered in both hydrostatic and manual gear transmission configurations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an air-cooled, vertical-shaft engine with a displacement of 398 cc (24.3 ci). It delivers a gross power output of 14 hp (10.4 kW). The engine features an electric starter and utilizes a Champion RC-12YC spark plug with a gap setting of 0.040 inches. Maintenance requirements include an oil capacity of 2 quarts (1.9 liters) with recommended service intervals of 100 hours.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 264 series offers two distinct transmission options. The hydrostatic model (264-H) is equipped with a Tuff Torq K-61A transmission providing infinite forward and reverse speeds, while the gear model (264-6) features a Peerless 820-024 transmission with a 6-forward and 1-reverse gear arrangement. Both versions utilize a two-wheel drive system. Braking is managed by band brakes on hydrostatic models and disc brakes on gear-driven models.
Dimensions and Handling
The tractor features a wheelbase of 49.5 inches (125 cm) with an overall length of 69 inches (175 cm) and a width of 35.5 inches (90 cm). The machine is operated from an open station utilizing manual steering. It is fitted with lawn/turf tires, measuring 16x6.50-8 on the front and 23x9.50-12 on the rear, providing balanced ground contact. The operating weight varies slightly by configuration, weighing 510 lbs (231 kg) for the hydrostatic version and 521 lbs (236 kg) for the gear version.
Power Take-Off and Electrical
The unit is equipped with an independent mid-mounted PTO, which is engaged via an electric clutch system. The electrical system operates on a 12-volt battery with a negative ground configuration and is supported by a 15-amp charging system.
Conclusion
The Wheel Horse 264 is a compact and versatile garden tractor suitable for standard landscaping duties. Its availability in both hydrostatic and manual gear options allows users to select a powertrain suited to their specific operational preferences, while its robust construction reflects the standard engineering expected of the Wheel Horse brand during the mid-1990s.
