farmerall 23 #1 Posted November 16, 2011 I just wanted to share with you guys some pictures and info about a Electro 12 that my brother and I bought a few weeks ago. Awhile ago I became friends with the owner of an older local lawn and garden equipment shop and he has been telling me about these two old tractors that he had in his garage. One was a WH and the other is a Bolens. Well anyway he finally brought the Wheel Horse to his shop. This is where is to be freinds with people lol. He let me have the first chance to buy the tractor and we settled on a price of 300 dolars. When I came to pick it up he also gave me an envolope with the original manuals in. he gave me a little history on the tractor too. From what he said the original owner used it until he moved to a smaller house, then the owners sons used it mow his lawn with until he sold it to the guy I bought it from and it has always been stored in a garage it whole life. Overall it is a great original tractor that only has two minor flaws which are the lights currently don't work and the grill has a dent in it. I really like how easy it is to use this old tractor and how smooth it operates. Here a ton of pics for you guys lol. Before we bought it. Hubcaps before, during and after clean up. Shiney shiney lol Cool find behind the hubcaps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
