Hi all. First here is what i got a few days ago for a friend of mine. He would would like me to rebuild the tractor and then restore it. I don;t think that would be a real huge issue as the frame and such are in very good not rust shape and all of the parts missing are able to be found from a fellow member. So, here is what it looks like:

Also, here is my other new purchase is a nice condition dump trailer that I got fro $50. Also, I was able to use it today and I love it. Later this summer I hope to give it a nice paint job to make it look all nice. Also, I was able to finally use my GT Diesel. HEHE. Pulls great at low speed. LOL.

I see a minimun of $600.00 - 1000.00 cost for engine, seat, battery, wheels & tires, spindles & tie rods, steering wheel and a bunch other parts you will not think of until you need them...

Or a long time finding cheap used parts.

You could find a complete tractor for less money to restore and use that one for parts.

not Impossible..... go for it. :thumbs:

Well, I will be getting a price quote for the missing parts soon and then I will let him know the cost of this vs. the cost of finding a cheap tractor. If he doesn't wants this thing then I will strip it of the tranny and a few other parts and then get rid of the frame.

I do know that the tranny sifts and works fine. So, I guess we will see.

I sure hate to see any Wheel Horse bite the dust but boy that one has already bittten. I believe it will cost a bunch to rebuild that one but if the pasrts are available at a good price, I guess I would consider it. I see a lot of work there.

If it were a rare tractor that would be altogether different, in this case its a parts machine. JMHO.

I see a great candidate for a diesel but wow needs alot more too.. I would say a parts tractor

Some people may see a parts tractor. I see a tractor that someone has already done most of the disassembly for you.

Don't waste your time on that tractor it a parts machine. You can find a better tractor for lease then your going to put into that one. The tranny looks like it leaks it might need seals also. Good luck on your project. :thumbs:

Well I just got all of the parts needed locally for $100. So that means I'm $200 so far in the hole and I got a snowplow with a future rolling chassis. So now here comes the fun part, finding an engine.

I bet you do. LOL. Nice to see you again BTW.

[elixir20 1]

Same here. I saw a lot of dirt on the running boards of that newly done up tractor ?!?

[sgtsampay 117]

yeah, I used it yesterday moving dirt around the yard. It was very muddy. LOL.

Nothing beats towing a 10Cf trailer full of wet soil with a diesel at idle in third gear. It jsut plan fun! Lots of low end torque..

As they say across the pond, "No problem, just a scratch or two, she'll be in Bristol shape around tea time". The parts look pretty clean, Good luck :thumbs:
