That is why I stopped looking at CL years ago. I don't do FB. Neither Trina or I have searched for a tractor since the first 3 back in 2016 & 17. We now have over 15 here and sold, given, traded that many more. ALL of them have "found us"... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. That’s a looker Mike. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes C/l is not what it used to be. I still look in the farm section for tractors. Not much to look at but every now and then one pops up like the one I saw last year was a no name, 12 beautiful looking tractor and of course I was too late. People still post them there though under wheel horse or wheelhorse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now they seem to fall out the sky. Some for free and many $100 rollers with a motor that fired right up. Some really nice ones for short money. People would see my junk yard and line ups from the road and just stop and see if I ran a tractor repair shop and ask if I was interested in another horse. She has since made me move them to unseen quarters Alice the C-120 came from a drive by for very very short money ... 200 ... ... with a magnum, a deck and a show tiller!!! Widowed PO just wanted to see it a good home. Edited January 16 by WHX?? 4 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clayton 54 #40 Posted January 17 (edited) I just brought that 875 home a few hours ago. I even thought about going to look at the Electro as well. I'm pretty amazed that there are forum members everywhere. Not the first time I've seen posts about tractors I wanted to buy Edited January 17 by Clayton 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 55,093 #42 Posted January 17 Good man Clayton and thanks for saving. I love it when a member here gives a horse a new lease on life. What are your plans for it? Let us know if it runs & drives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clayton 54 #43 Posted January 17 1 hour ago, rjg854 said: We're going to need a lot more information and some about this ; hopefully it runs and drives like it should. It's still sitting in the back of my jeep. Between our 2yr old and 2month old, I didnt have time to get it in the barn last night. Hopefully tomorrow and I'll get some pics. I bought it from a kid in his 20's. He bought it and a B-80 as a package. He only wanted the B-80 since it belonged to his dad or grandpa. I cant remember which. He said they both last ran 2yrs prior to him buying them The B-80 fired right up with a new battery and some gas. He didnt want the 875 so he only went as far as trying to turn the key. I'd be willing to bet it'll fire up with a jump based on age of gas in the tank and completeness of the drivetrain. I'll update on that when I get the time to mess with it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clayton 54 #44 Posted January 17 1 hour ago, WHX?? said: What are your plans for it? Well my original intentions were to use it as a parts tractor. I'm not set on that but for $100 I couldn't not buy it for the engine alone. I'll make my final decision when I get it fired up and see how well everything works. I like Wheel Horse but my wife's family farm is the green tractor kind of people. So I bought her a '64 110rf. The block on her k181 appears to be cracked around the exhaust pipe thread. So I had planned on swapping engines. Ironically her engine is already red so likely from another WH. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clayton 54 #48 Posted January 18 As promised more pictures. You guys are making me feel bad for wanting parts from this tractor Hope the pictures give a better idea of its condition. Been painted a couple times with a brush. Needs all tires and front wheels. The wiring is not great. Hydro pulley is bent and fan blades broken off. Seat latch is gone. The list goes on. All that being said, I'm still not 100% sold on robbing parts from it. I had limited time while both girls were down for naps so I quickly threw a jump pack on it. It would crank over 1 revolution and stop every time I tried. So I helped it along spinning the pulley by hand. It'll crank now but slowly. That's where I stopped as the + post on the s/g started smoking after only cranking a couple times. As mentioned the wiring is sketchy. I found 2 loose connections in the 10min I played with it. When I get some time to sneak away to the barn again I'll go over the wiring and start there. I definitely think it'll be a runner 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
