IS THAT A 4 SPEED WITH A HIGH AND LOW? OR JUST A 4 SPEED?

Wheel Horse 4 speed is basically the same as the 3 speed. At one point they started calling them a 4 speed. Both are 3 forward and 1 reverse gears.
You really need to look at the specific model.
How many pinioned are in it? And 1" or 1 1/8" axles.
