Buzz 502 #1 Posted August 9, 2009 My wife called me at work yesterday and said she had just got a call from a women who wanted to get rid of a Wheel Horse and would I be interested? i called the number she left and talked to her husband. He said it was a 16hp with hydraulics, a snow plow, and mower deck. He has had major health problems, liver failure, for the past 5 years so they have a yard service cut the grass while he waits for a transplant. They needed the room in the garage to store some other equipment in so the 'Horse was pushed outside about 5 years ago and has been sitting there rusting. The guy said it ran good and he hates watching it rust away. iI asked what he wanted for it and he said just come get it. I had a wedding to go to last night but this morning I drove the 17.82 miles (thank you Yahoo maps) and picked it up. Doesn't look bad and the guy said he had no problems with it "best damn mower I ever owned". Hopefully I can get it up and going when I get home from vacation, leaving tomorrow. Here it is, a 1975 C-160: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 16,028 #8 Posted August 9, 2009 That would be a shame to let it rust away. I would like another 16hp tractor to blow snow with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
