jellyghost 378 #1 Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) I bought this C-101 from the original owner. It came with the original manual and two full color catalogues. The first is titled "Wheel Horse '78 Product Line Highlights" and the other is just "Wheel Horse '78." If it would be valuable for the community, I could scan them. The original owner garaged the machine for it's whole life and blew it off after every use. In 1992, it was rebuilt with a bored out cylinder, and for the last 10 years, he just used it as a snow plow. It came with two 42 inch side discharge decks, a snow plow, and a cart. Total price was $750. I am really happy with the purchase. I was looking for a riding mower, and my budget was around 1500. This is so much cooler, and it left room for repairs. Wheel Horse was the most interesting vintage tractor, and I discovered the brand when a CL flipper was bragging about his find. His CL post lead me to look into the brand and ultimately joined Red Square. Thank you to everyone who helped me find my wiring bug! I wonder if there should be a trouble shooting guide based upon all the info shared in that thread. I shared some nice Wheel Horse videos on Facebook, but the attachment size limit is too small for all but one video. .

Retired Wrencher 4,830 #4 Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) jellyghost Looks great and the kids seem to like it. You made the right move. And if you are handy it will be cheap to keep them running. Look for parts on e-bay or other parts suppliers and stock up so you will have them. OHHH the hat is a nice touch. Edited September 15, 2016 by T1257 RETIRED WRENCHER.

953 nut 51,029 #6 Posted September 15, 2016 Great to see it running, also glad to see the safety gear on the children. 7 hours ago, jellyghost said: attachment size limit is too small for all but one video. Storage size is limited because of the cost to the web site; if you become a supporter the limitation goes away. It is very affordable and we really want to see more video! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,315 #8 Posted September 16, 2016 Your kids are adorable. When they first went outside, your daughter wasn't too thrilled I see with the surprise, but your son's reaction was priceless. And so was the fact that they wanted to drive the tractor, not just ride in the cart. Great videos. I give it two 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,029 #9 Posted September 16, 2016 Kids love tractors that are their size. Our county fair is going on this week and I have one of my 953 out there and encourage the little kids to get on it; parents seem surprised. We have several tractors and hit and miss engines on display, today is the school kid's day at the fair, they get a couple of bus loads each hour; good fun. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
