WHwest8597 85 #1 Posted July 22, 2016 How many have bought a Wheel Horse close enough to drive home. I'm buying one today that is located about 2 miles from my house. I don't have a truck and will be driving my new Wheel Horse home. I live in what is still considered the country. I had a great-uncle that would drive the same stretch of road every year pulling a load of manure for his garden with his Power King. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Huls 146 #4 Posted July 22, 2016 Never had the fortune of driving a Wheel Horse home, but I have bought many an antique tractor and drove it home. Through several small towns even. Longest 5 hours ever on the worst trip. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #5 Posted July 22, 2016 No, never found one close enough, that was running. And where I live you couldnt drive it home. To much traffic. I did find a tub cart sbout a mile away. And a Indy 500 a couple miles away. But they needed to be hauled home. Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHwest8597 85 #7 Posted July 22, 2016 Will have to see on the pictures driving it home. I would have my niece take them, but she is on vacation. I'made going to pay for the tractor today and bring it home tomorrow morning. It's pouring rain right now and I need to have my dad make room in the shed or garage.

953 nut 51,655 #9 Posted July 22, 2016 I have always dreamt of the day that I will find a Wheel Horse close enough to home that an overnight stay isn't required to go get it! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ericj 1,576 #13 Posted July 22, 2016 i bought a C120 years ago down the street from me and drove it home, almost didn't make, seems the guy I bought from had spun the rod and rebuilt it himself but it still knocked bad so he parked it along side the garage where i bought from. when we pulled the motor apart he had the rod in backwards and the crank had grooves in it that you could catch your fingernail on. one other time had my other C120 up at a freinds house for work on it, but had no truck to hual just short of a mile home. so I borrowed a SMV "slow moving vehicle, an organe triangle" sign and stuck it on the back and drove it home. you relize how slow a graden trator travels when on a road lol eric j 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #14 Posted July 23, 2016 @WHwest8597 I bought my 520 from a fellow just a mile out of town. My wife actually drove it home and I followed in the truck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #15 Posted July 23, 2016 Purchased from my neighbor John, the K powered 416-8 was only a mile from my house. Unfortunately John had not been in good enough health to drive it so it had sat for several years plus someone borrowed the starter and never returned it so I loaded it and the snow blade and mower deck on a trailer to bring it all home. If I remember correctly I had to take the starter off a K301 that was tucked away here at home to get the big K341 running again. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie 98 #16 Posted July 23, 2016 I live in a small rural town and scored this one from the local John Deere dealer a few years ago. It was in excellent condition with only 175 hours. The previous owner traded it on a JD zero turn (his loss). I drove it home about a mile and when I got there started to check over everything only to discover that I had nearly run out of gas. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
