875 Wheel-a-matic

[Krice58 148]

Don’t really need another tractor but I saw someone selling an 875 for $100 in my area. From what I can gather it’s a 1965 model year only, first automatic? I’m assuming none of the later attachments from the C series and 300 series fit. Just wondering if anyone has any input. Like I said, I definitely don’t need another tractor but for $100, it caught my eye.

I have an 875. First year for the "Wheel a Matic hydro which has slight differences with the later Hydrogear and Piston Piston models. The only more modern attachment that can work that I know of is the long frame snowplow if it has the extra hole to move the rear mount bar closer to the front.

For $100 it would be in my shed by now. Worry about what fits and doesn't fit later.

[Wishin4a416 2,406]

I think I saw that too. Worth it for sure if its the same one.

X 100 Worth that in parts alone. A bucket list tractor on this ranch. 

PO had this one listed for an outrageous price ... just to keep the riff raff off it he said. Wanted it to go to a good home. 

I got it for 350 ...

IMO, any complete WH roller is worth $100.

Absolute minimum. Yes.  

[WHX?? 53,825]

Any non-runner = 100

I’ll try to check it out this weekend if it’s not gone by then.

Great and not so great ... call in sick to work and go get it today.  Before it's scooped up by a mud mower 

Boss finds out you ain't really sick I'll drop a dime on him... 

[Wishin4a416 2,406]

Go get it this evening. But I do see the roads are terrible in Oh. many wrecks on 79 and 80 per google maps.

I think my wife will kill me if I get another one. Fortunately for me, she’ll be busy this weekend and might not notice.

  If the hydro is good I'd be all over it.

[WHX?? 53,825]

We've seen alot worse & be prime for a resto. Keep us posted. 

[702854boy 410]

I just saw the ad on marketplace right after reading this,  the devices aren't spying on us or anything. Anyways, you should 100% go get it as soon as you can because any Wheel Horse for 100 dollars is a good deal

You’ve come to a herd on Enablers with that weak song. No dice. We’ve all been under the wrath snd survived…well a sort of 

[Krice58 148]

This guy was just posted today too, less than a mile from me. $200 

[Krice58 148]

If you had to pick one, what would you go with? The 875 or the Electro 12? Both haven’t run in years but engines aren’t seized so I’m sure they will run. 875 has no attachments. Electro has a 42 inch deck in rough shape. 

[WHX?? 53,825]

Both... if the frying pan ain't a heavy one.

Bet the Electro would come down to 100. 

if i only had one benny the 875 fer sure.

If you want to use one for working with implements, the Electro might be better. The Tach-a-matic belly hitch will bolt on directly and adding a front hitch is easy too. Then it can run most anything that any other 12hp B/C or Classic 300/400 series machine can. 

 

The short frame 875 is a cool little machine. It might be a little more restrictive on what you can attach to it.

Plus it has Redheds
