Sparky-(Admin) 19,444 #2 Posted September 10, 2008 Does it run? Is the hydro any good? Either way for $95 you should be allright. Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluetuna08 0 #3 Posted September 10, 2008 it needs a new battery the lady says. but like you say mike...for less than a hundo I should be fine it looks like its in mint shape...stared in a barn and not outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electro12WH 50 #5 Posted September 11, 2008 The Electros aren't real common, so you did good! Does it still have the hub caps? They're worth more than you paid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traktorkidd7/30/93 1 #6 Posted September 11, 2008 great find and I cant wait to see the pictures :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #7 Posted September 11, 2008 If it has the front hitch it is worth that much! Plus, IIRC the electro has hydraulic lift, which is worht MORE than that. well done... :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusjeepn 59 #8 Posted September 11, 2008 Look like this one? Wanna sell it? Double you money!! Triple? :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluetuna08 0 #9 Posted September 12, 2008 ok...Ive got it home and in the barn. I took plenty of pics and will be posting them in the AM. I did get it running but I havnt checked the hydros yet. I dont wanna have all my fun in one night...I want to spread it out! the motor sounds sooooo sweet too especially for almost 40 years old. kohler sure could build em back in the day... oh and it does not have the hub caps and the original bottom seat cusion is gone and on of the front head lights is busted and I am going to need a picture of the center controls because all labelling is completly gone so I dont know what they do...but its more fun to find out the hard way as long as i dont hurt her later - matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #10 Posted September 12, 2008 Center controls ? Whatchoomean? Should have a Transmission clutch engage lever and maybe a separate parking brake lever to the left (probably not). Nice find in any case :banana: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #19 Posted September 12, 2008 Nice tractor. Another reminder. Guys, everyone needs to read this post by Eldon concerning pictures: http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=5097 It took a while for this thread to open. The reason, multiple posts with attached images. The "File Attachments" feature here should not be used if possible. It slows down the site and uses up file space. So far this is a free site. Also, you can not add more than one photo per post (with an outside host you can). Let's try to use an outside host for pictures, photobucket works great. There are a few offenders here, so please do not think I'm picking on any one member. Please try to use the file attachment feature here sparingly. Thanks.

bluetuna08 0 #20 Posted September 12, 2008 sorry guys...I got excited...will not happen again :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #21 Posted September 12, 2008 I didn't mean to pick on you, personally. As I've stated there are a few offenders - this thread just brought it to light again. Please don't take offense and think I was singling you out, I wasn't - that wasn't my intention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #22 Posted September 12, 2008 :USA: Looks good. Clean off the PTO side of the engine and watch your oil level, you may have a bad seal. That is the electronic ignition, so that implies it is the original ignition. Vinyl Guy can sell you a sticker to put on that center console. He made a prototype for me that looks really good. I have been lax getting him the dimensions to tweak it, but I will do so very soon. Very nice... :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electro12WH 50 #23 Posted September 12, 2008 It's not perfect, but that's the fun of restoration! I have no idea what that mule drive is. But you still got a great deal for the money! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jusjeepn 59 #25 Posted September 12, 2008 Good looking machine, by the way, excellent potential!!! Nice find :banana: !!! I don't know what that mule drive is either. Does anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
