Hi guys, I got a new horse today. It is a b80 4 speed,not sure on the year. I will post the serial numbers later tonight. I ended up going to look at a deere so I could figure something out on my 60 I am restoring. He knew I had a old yardman that he wanted and asked me If I was interested in trading it. I ended up getting this. Here is a picture,Jake

Kelly,This one was not on craigslist. It was down the road from me but the guy wanted 500 anyways convinced him to trade for the yardman. I got really lucky because the yardman was free to me. Jake

That is in far nicer shape than my B-80 was before I restored it. Trading a yardman for a wheel horse, the other guy must be crazy. :jaw: Great looking tractor!!

Wat to go Jake that's a deal you don't run into very often. A Yardman for a Wheel Horse and it runs. Great Deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
