Tractor & Implement Selling advice

Recommended Posts

SMGutsch

My brother passed and left my brothers and I an old wheel horse and implements 

Is it better to sell them all as one package or as separate pieces?

What do you think it is worth?

Tractor:

1981 or 1982 Model C-105 S/N 01-10K802-21213 295.  Also Wheel weights, tire chains, (2) extra rear tires, spare belts and other parts

I think 10 Hp.

Attachments:

Dump Trailer, 

Snow Plow

Snow Blower

One bottom Plow with Coulter

Disk

Cultivator / Hoe

Spike Harrow

Rototiller - Gas engine powered

Lawn sweeper

Pesticide sprayer – electric

2 pull behind Fertilizer Spreaders

 

I don't have pictures of everything, but here is some of it.

Sorry for your loss.

 

That C-105 looks in great shape! And great range of implements as well.

 

I have a C-105 and they are great machines.

 

My .02 is that you most likely will get some direct interest from your post. Keep an eye on your direct messages on this site. When you post, put everything on the classifieds here.

 

Regarding value, folks will chime in on various implements who are more knowledgeable than me.

And my condolences. 

 

My experience shows me that selling individual pieces will give you more total money...

 

But..

 

Selling a package will be easier.

:WRS:              Sorry to hear your brother passed, was he a member here?

Your brother had quite a collection of implements and a very nice tractor. You are right in the meddle of :wh: country so finding an interested buyer shouldn't be a problem. I bought one of mine in Niles about 20 years ago. Selling items one at a time can be time consuming and a bit aggravating. I would suggest you and your brothers come together on a price and post the entire bundle in our classified section. Others will come along with some price suggestions.    https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/for-sale/

Welcome!

Sorry for your loss, it is all too often a situation like yours comes up and WH items become available.......

The price for wheel weights will vary widely depending what brand they are and what they are made of. The lowest cost are the cement filled plastic ones. Off brand cast iron ones are worth more, the highest priced ones are the OE Wheel Horse cast iron version. Homemade cement filled brake drum style is a crap shoot - alot depends on fitment, actual weight and overall condition.

Does the Rototiller run?? It is much older than the tractor - like from the late 1950's to mid 1960's. Rare to find a good running complete one......

I find when there are several items in a package deal, folks tend to want "individual prices" added up and then advertise the lot. Then they end up sitting on them for a while because not everybody has a couple of grand sitting in the cookie jar to buy it all.

 

Come up with a price in your minds you think it's worth then if you "really want to move it " cut it in half and they will be gone before you know it.

:text-welcomeconfetti: to the :rs:The C-105 looks to be in great condition.   Has it been restored and repainted?

PM sent.  I offered my condolences, and informed @SMGutsch that I can to go down Tuesday with my big trailer.

 

I believe I can fit everything in one easy load, and I’ll probably haul a tractor with me to assist loading.  That worked out great last time!

Thank you everyone for your advice.

My brother was in the process of restoring it when he passed. He had it repainted and  I think he was 90% finished putting it back together. I was able to mow the lawn with it this summer.

He has a new housing for the mower deck and some stickers, belts and other parts.

 

Here is a picture of the wheel weights.  the big ones are plastic covered.

I don't know if the rototiller works.  I haven't even pulled the cord to try to start it.  The engine is a Kohler  K91

My Uncle had a Wheel Horse and I think he bought most of the older attachments (plow, disk, cultivators, trailer etc.) in the early 60's.

He used to hook all of our sleds to the back of the WH an pull us around.  Back in the early 60's they didn't salt the roads so we could go right down the street behind him

 

the tank sprayer is almost new
