gratefulydeadman 25 #1 Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Well after selling some wheelhorses and parts I went and bought a 953 on saturday. I have dealt with this guy for the past couple years (buying, selling, trading) and every time I went to his house I saw this there collecting dust. I kept telling him that if he ever sold it he better call me first.... well he needed some $ and I asked him to give me a week to sell some tractors and he did. Now im not one for turf tires... (especially when i put my two-piece wheel weights on it and the weight pushed all the air out of the tires. Lol) so.... I bought a brand new pair of goodyear ag tires for it! Great price $200 for the tires (they are the ones with the diamonds on side walls between the treads). Now the story with this tractor is that apparently belonged to a guy that owned a local wheelhorse dealership. He did a complete restoration on it years back. Then he sold it to a local collector (Les from manheim). When he needed some money he sold it to the guy I got it from (for $800). I bought it from him for $500. This is one I will keep in my collection because I know i will never get a deal like that again!! Edited October 24, 2013 by gratefulydeadman 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
