[pbradley68 1]

Did anyone see the Ad where there are 800 Wheel Horse tractors from an old dealership up for sale for $300? That's what I call a bargain.

You have to wonder how someone decides on a selling price for something like this ?? Not even $1 a piece - how do you decide on a $300 price tag ?

He is only 4 hours away - maybe I'll ask him.

Paul , you and I should go up there and maybe offer him $150 apiece for 1 or two tractors - never know what you'll find - Christmas is around the corner !!

The phone number was not in service and no way to contact the seller. Must be a Hoax!!!!!! There seems to be some of that going around.

I thought it was a bit beyond belief. It couldn't really be possible for a place with 800 machines not to have already been cleaned out by collectors?

unless it shows up on a satellite photo on Google maps ??? that has to be an acre or two of tractors.

I'll go with the hoax theory. I was born and raised in VT and still live close by on the NH border. I doubt like h*ll there was ever a WH dealership in the Twin States (VT/NH) that had that many tractors in one place - new, used, junked, or otherwise, and especially up around the Champlain Islands!

We've got a couple of RS members from up that way...what do you guys think?
