Nothing like putting the "cart" before the "horse"

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders head to their next debate.

The average person does not see value just because its a Wheel Horse. I think your buying market is limited to mostly educated tractor folks like the guys here. Compound that with where you live and looks like you may have a hard time selling. And like others have said, for that kind of money the seat and steering have got to be addressed prior to sale. And most importantly is the fact that Christmas is 10 days away. If I just went and spent $2500 on a tractor with a ratty seat and didn't steer a week before Christmas my wife would hang my balls on the Xmas tree.

Works great with the Harbor F. Gen Head did this like 15 years ago and never looked back.... Have used this through the yrs when a power outage strikes...... comforting to have and no additional engine to maintain.

slowly starting to restore one of my 520's. found a great place on line for the decals ( redo your horse) but am not able to find the heavy clear sticker for under the seat springs. If any one out there knows of the part number or how to obtain would be great. Last year I went through the engine, had 800 hours on it so figured it was time. I attached a few shots after the initial paint work and new seat. Also yes.................a shot of my other toys..............I mean tools..............lol

I've been chasing after this women for 67 years.....Just can't seem to get my hands on her.

See, I told you my grandpa had a Wheel Horse"!

Better get the shed cleaned out. we're all coming for cake and ice cream!

Had some fun today... was able to gain access to one of the M60 main battle tanks we have on static display.

Might point out the original pricing?

welcome to the netherlands

Had my 2 week follow-up today. Everything looks great according to my surgeon. Here's a picture of the hardware, which will be my entry into the Titanium Club.

Step on it Gramma...Indians are after us.....

Wow that's a lot of years together! You don't hear that often enough these days. Congrats to you!

Easy Secretariat, we only have one more mare that requires your stud service. Funny, I am thinking the same thing about that mare in front of me. Ironic Jim, that you should name this the "Last One".

I went back and looked at you add. You have a pretty nice horse but it does need a few things ie. seat even sum black duck tape would help the looks and a set of decals would go a long way too and it is winter time almost X mas i have listed a few horses and bought a couple too nobody is buying or selling much right now and i don't know much about your area either you price isn't too bad i personally wouldn't spend that much but compared to what you get at a box store thats a steal but people just don't look at it that way i guess i have had a 310-8 on CL for 300$ and haven't even gotten a call on it. Its just that time of year

I just sold a 1980 D160 with FEL,started a little high on the price working my way down,live in a remote area and not wheel horse country out west,only got two inquiries,one wanted to trade an older model car and the other said was above his wife's pain threshold,after a week guy called and expressed interest,asked why the the price was so low($1350),long story short we settled at $1200,made five bills on it but that wasn't my intention,just too much tractor for my place and going a different direction,funny thing is got almost a foot of snow over the weekend and regret pulling the trigger so fast but my driveway is steep and narrow and without 4wd it wasn't going to work anyway,like the previous poster said its worth what someone's willing to pay or wait for spring when its value increases. I think you must realize also that folks can run down to the local big box store and buy a brand new rider for $1000-1500 with warranty and financing,we know there not built anywhere near and well but new is new.

I have had this project in mind for quite awhile and I have to admit I was over thinking it so I put it on the back burner. I wasn't sure if the pivot on the quick tach would give me the tension I needed on the belt so I was trying to come up with a easy way to make a spring loaded idler, and I wasn't sure if the belt would support the unit without dropping it to the ground. I decided to just start slapping things together and modify as I went. It worked out great on the first try. Im not sure of the ease of mounting yet since I don't have the frame all welded together yet, but the plan is to be able to just ull up to the unit, lift the one end up into the quick tach then rotate up to install the belt. no real lifting and no strain.

OH MY!!!

Great... you all can help.

She`s definitely a keeper!

Well done - both with tractors and spouse!

Wow! Super cleanup and a great Horse. Definitely a keeper and a work Horse! I think the ad below is from 1995?

Looking good, just about like mine! If all of us who are members of the titanium club got together we would have more hardware than Ace!

Have bunch extra parts , 59 trans , front wheels off my Kobuta BX2230 , 8" HF wheels , HF 79cc predator . Will have my son build new frame from scratch along with a new hood and fenders . Here's the catch , I want to build a Allis Chalmers WD replica but my model would be WH to pay homage to . It would low and mean . Was also thinking about painting frame , tool box , and motor black . Wheels and seat cream . Then I could change out the hood and fenders for Some RJ ones . I just want a cool custom that nobody else has , and if I paint it that way I could have both a and Allis . Would you let the orange one come to the big show . No horse parts would be injured in this process , (maybe a hood that's already full of holes , rivets , dents , and rust ) . Remember I'm going for a rat hot rod look exaggerating the hood lines . If I remove the gas tank ,change the air cleaner , and exhaust for go cart parts I can lower the hood . The RJ in the picture is my 59 and that one going back stock to match my 58 . So let's here your opinions on project RAT TRAC !

Russ, I am so sorry for your mishap. You are still capable of healing, and I pray that you will. You have been an inspiration to me and many others. Good luck and Godspeed.

Here you go: The chain is #40, length is 46 links not counting the master link. Each link counted is a full dog bone (two tubes). This was from a full re-build that I once did on my 5xi 44" two stage blower. I no longer have the tractor but I still have all of my notes. Good luck, Rick

I never realized that NH had it as an option on the GT22. The 523Dxi, 522xi, and 529Lxi steering is actually a hydraulic-style steering as opposed to power steering. There isn't a direct connection from the wheel to the tires. The steering wheel is activating a valve. An easy way to check if it has the option is to see if the wheel spins with the engine off. I have found that TractorData is not very accurate sometimes. For instance, the weight shown is low by about 200 lbs.

I have a 520 as well that I considered selling, but I don't want to loose my blower and who wants a 520 w/a 60" deck this time of year with out a snow implement. I love the extra traction of the big tires, I'd prefer a snow blade but darn it all if I can't find an extension for anything near reasonable. Since people might mentally be blocked on the price, if you need some cash before the holidays you might sell just the blower. If I was any closer I'd love to pick up a tall chute. I see them for anywhere from $100-550 around me, but I don't know what a realistic average selling point is ($300?). Since it'd fit any decent horse, your audience is a lot wider and you might sell it quick, then subtract that from the 520 w/the 60" and sell that in the spring when people won't care about snow and want to get the grass cut fast. A 520 w/a smaller deck has to compete with all the big-box 'tractors', but the large deck should really make it stand out - try finding anything with a 60" for anywhere near $1k in any store (or less than $5k for that matter). Plus if you can hold out with the tractor you might find time to deal with the small issues over the winter and get a much better return.

Oh and ...Don't make me use this whip....

That front tiller is awsome...you oughta pickup all the junk tillers you can find, build these and patent them. lol

I did a little investigating and found your CL posting,don't take offense but my first reaction was WOW that's pricey for a 20 year old tractor,raggedy seat,doesn't turn right and nearly 600 hrs,now I don't pretend to know what the value of WH tractors back there but here you would be lucky to get around $1500,Just my 2 cents but imo you should fix the seat,tape or replace,definitely fix steering(find the time)and mount attachments for a greater visual presence,good luck.

I will add, that the right "setup" with a loader tractor makes all the difference. I had an ARK550 on a D250 & I feel it was a better loader than the Kwik-Way, but the tractor was so horrible & I believe the pump was to weak that my 310-8/Kwik-Way will work circles around it. (I've had a few FEL/GT's really...a few were really beat or used up & one I got from Bob Rock was just to pretty to scratch) The right HYD pump, good lines, good cylinders, secure mounts & the right amount of counterweight. Yeah that's all obvious, but if one is off....it turns a loader tractor into a not so useful tool that just sits.

Nice & I agree, if you have one....you will find things to use a loader for that make them extremely handy & hard to give up.

I probably could have tried a little harder.Deep down I didn't really want to sell it but I tried to recoup a little money back that we had to spend on an emergency vet bill. Then my wife said I was crazy selling my nicest wheel horse and I very quickly agreed!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAIG Brian

HAVE A GREAT DAY CRAIG !!!!

I think he knows the people on this forum well, hence the city designation of Megalopolois. I am sure some know where AMC and his shed lives, so see you there for cake and ice cream. Happy Birthday and buy yourself something big and red (not a Nebraska Cheerleader, lol) for your birthday,

But the shed is magic, it cleans itself and it gets bigger by itself as more space is needed... Craig!

57 years of that kind of support. I am a lucky man. Marvin

Nice work. And you can drive it to where you need to use it instead of lifting or pulling the heavy standard style generator.

That's a very impressive list of dealers....sure wish it was still that way now. Thanks for sharing! Mike.........

I'll take a picture of it tomorrow.

When starting this up , check your voltage and adjust your rpm for the right voltage . I made one similar to yours.

Workers I leave with original patina, I only paint ones that have no work in their future. First ones a worker, second is a non- worker

Your Stallions are certainly ready for cold, wet, nasty white junque. You Sir, are all set! If we get snow, the grandsons will love it. I'll sip hot coffee and watch from the window.
