Snuck over the line myself today.

I've had my eye on this Horse for a few days now. Once I showed pictures to my 15 yr old son and explained to him it was an automatic trans. with no effort snow blade lifting he was totally psyched too get it. He wants too make some extra paper plowing out neighbors drives this winter. (besides, with all the local horse snaggin goin on I been feeling left out! Lol!) What really sold me on this tractor was what was under its hood. Over the phone its elderly original owner was telling me it had a 7 yr. old factory replacement motor. I thought too myself, okay it could still have a zillion hrs on it. I was interested enough too go look. Once there and speaking with the old gent he explained, yes its a 7 yr. old factory new motor but he only used it too cut his grass three times at 2 hrs each time before his eye sight was so bad he retired from doing his own lawn maint. After taking a ride I knew I had to have it. I got such a good deal on it I coulda been charged with Horse thieving.

I don't know what you paid for it but it looks to be nice, maybe a 68 but could be a 69 does the elect. clutch work? very nice unit.

Its a 1969. The electric clutch was new when the motor was replaced. I tried it and it does work. I picked it up for 300 bucks with a very nice 48 inch mower deck, the blade, snowchains, brand new belt in the bag, new filter and trans fluid were in a box and I'll do that this week.

For that price it was a great deal, your boy could with a good snowy winter make that back, plowing.

See when I am out of town these deals keep happening. Very Nice !!! You still need a round hood for the restoration. I really like "excuse" that this one is for your son...... I used that too and my boy is only 2 !!! Very nice

Nice pickup and fantastic that your boy will be able to play around it as well this winter. Nothing better than making money while riding a Horse!

Congrats on your find!

Waiting for some action shots of your boy making some cash! :notworthy:
