Bar Nuthin 2,694 #1 Posted 11 hours ago (edited) Scored this today at a local auction. I've managed to avoid painting any of my Wheel Horse stuff so far, but I'm pretty sure these didn't come in yellow, but I don't see any traces of red either. Pick it up Saturday so I can take a closer look. Edited 10 hours ago by Bar Nuthin 7 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I nabbed mine at a local on site estate auction for $5, I was the only bidder. While I was basking in my glory of a great pick, someone had weaseled a front mount RJ sickle mower around a corner for the same single bid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 17,438 #5 Posted 2 hours ago (edited) I have one that is blue with no red. What appears to be red on the tongue is actually rust. Edited 2 hours ago by rmaynard 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, online auctions attract a lot of bidders and they have plenty of time to obsess over items. This was the only Wheel Horse item in the auction, so it didn't draw a ton of attention. I wasn't able to be online during the bidding, so I put a max bid of $100 out there. Won it for $90. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I can put up with yellow, so it may end up as my first "refurbished" item. Unless I happen to find out that Wheel Horse actually put these carts out in different colors from the factory - then I might give it some consideration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
