Yep, I'll get pics up in the morning.  The 520 sounds sweet, just needs some carb work, it runs moves and mows good.  The 518 has no motor but the rest is there including monster duals with forklift style treads.  There's also a 50" mid mount grader and a front deck carrier.  :)

Hopefully the Horse head outline will be primed tomorrow, It's the last piece.  It takes awhile to file off all the rough edges by hand in all the nooks and crannies.  Some progress today.  What will be painted white is white primer, what will be painted red or black is red primer, (out of black primer) except for the center of the e, o, s of course will be white.  :)

Just asking a question so don't put out a hit on me...... Are you going to paint the centers in the letters white so the letters show up better? I do think it looks awesome by the way!

I just looked and we have the same birthday!  Happy early birthday.   In a little over 2 years you can blame everything on being old like I do, it's great!    :laughing-rolling:

Cool. My wife was born in 1961 also...... So does that make her old? Don't tell her I posted her age, lol.

If she's peeking over your shoulder like mine does all the time, I'm sure she doesn't look a day over 29.  :)

Everything is at least in primer.  Now we have to figure out how to mount the pieces then we can make those modifications then paint.   :text-woo:

      I am selling a 1970 Wheel Horse Electro 12. It is in *working condition*.
      It has AG tires and a mid-mount blade from wheel horse. 
      It also has a front mounted generator that currently doesnt put out power. It has been in the barn quite a while, so it may be a corroded connection,  not sure. Although there's not too much that goes wrong with them. 
      The tractor has been a great one for me. The last 6ish 7ish years that I've had it where I lived it brought the gravel back up my driveway for me every time it rained. In the last few months, it would run for 20-30min then die.
      I was moving at the time so just didn't have the time to look at it. And it seems I still don't. Where I am currently I don't have a place for it. I don't want it setting out and deteriorating. So here we are.
      Please contact me by text or email. 
      Thanks for looking!

      i know that there is ebb and flow with market conditions, but I have been seeing bargain 520 and c-160 prices more common. I recently saw a c-160 like model on a place other than here that was close by, but i did not get a chance to see it as I was still on a medical tether getting care. i say c-i60 like model because it was a series of numbers like 4455 or somesuch .Tractor had the k series engine clearly a sixteen HP and came with a decent looking deck and pusher blade. i called my buddy Jay and told him for the $250 ask , he better hustle after it. i really do not know if he did.
        I also have been seeing 520s and such lower than I can remember as well as the D series..My theory is that people experiencing paycheck to paycheck living are increasing in number.
      You even are seeing a lot more older trucks like square bodies and especially big blocks than you did before. we used to see this a lot in new trucks when fuel prices hit records.
      i am not claiming expert status on this, but it seems to be trending this way one county next to indiana and 90 miles North of the Ohio River.
       Tell me what you are seeing out there and what you think. 
           Edit:  Jay and I ran up to buy Bob Ellison's tractor in MI.  Bob was very nice to deal with and included his "last seat"   I got super lucky buying my first C-160 that did not start and another one shortly dropped in to keep it company. The tractor described above was listed for only two days and was gone
