Wheel horse c81

[12 hp Kohler 1,014]

 

 

Hi, I have a wheel horse c81 1978 and I was woundeding if any one could give ma an idea on the value, and yes it runs and it's an 8 speed 6 forward 2 reverse

With no attachments, and needing paint etc., I'm thinking $300 tops.

That tractor needs paint?? No way that's choice patina!

 

Still no attachments 3-350 but it really does depend on location, eastern US , far southern and western states might be a tad more

 

BTW  12 hp

Sorry, I have to agree with  Sully and Jim,    $300 would be a sellers price.    $200-250 for a buyer.

The K-181s are great little engines and coupled to the 8 speed, they are unstoppable.

Although, I am not a fan of the rocker plate engine mounts  and the under the seat fuel tanks.

Not much can be learned from one picture, but there are some visible issues... grill damage, electrical wiring, battery clamp,  tie rod?

My 2 cents on this is not the difference between 2 or 3 hundred $ what IS the price differential is the working condition and operation of the following: Engine, Starter, Transmission, Charging circuit, Tires and Battery..... give me the status of those 6 items and the value will appear as if out of the heavens........

 

P.s. the C-81 is a fantastic machine and you will love it once you get the six above items where they need be.......

thanks for the info, i still want to fix the grill but I will never rempaint it because I love the putina. I am also looking for a mower deck because I know that would lift the value a little and it would be nice to start mowing with it, I am just waiting for the right price on one.
