JCD 80 #1 Posted May 31 Whats a ballpark price on a c100 with a rebuilt engine (78 hours on it) with a tiller and new rear wheels. Don't know the year or any other info but look to be in good shape and taken care of, runs well don't see any smoke, no other attachments not even a deck. Thanks, Jim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was this engine sent to the machine shop to be bored and a new piston, valves etc. installed or did someone hone the cylinder and re-ring it? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 60,083 #4 Posted May 31 If the engine had been properly rebuilt that would add to the value. A running, driving C-100 in average condition with a tiller in my opinion should bring $ 500 to $ 600, perhaps a bit more if you don't have to drive too far to get it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big difference between 400 hours and 1100 hours...... If the seller's story starts to have a distinct fishy smell, low ball or walk away. ASK to see receipts for the parts and labor...

JCD 80 #8 Posted May 31 I didn't know to ask if the rebuild was by a shop or him and he didn't say, I think I'll pass on this one as I'm not informed enough to know what I should about a rebuild, I'll keep looking thank you Jim 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 1,668 #9 Posted May 31 You might be missing out on a good deal @JCD It might have a great history and good value, or it could be something that you would be better off walking away from. Some additional information and pictures can tell us a lot. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Newbie 7,395 #12 Posted June 1 Neither of these has been rebuilt. (As far as I know)Just painted. I have heard people on here say they are more comfortable buying tractors that have original paint, etc. That way they can look at the overall tractor and get an idea of how well it was maintained and taken care of. I tried to address know/ obvious issues. But I would describe my Wheel Horses as “refreshed”, not rebuilt. He very well could have done the same… Is the a difference between a used car and a used tractor salesman ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might need a few more drinks to consider engaging in conversation with that. (no offense intended if the seller happens to be lurking, but if you are you are welcome to jump in and provide some background. I'm curious about the wiring on the right side of this photo.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
