1974 C-160 Free to Good Home

[richardsj 0]

This old tractor was my "spare" for when my other rider broke down, then got permanently put in the shed about 4 years ago when I got a zero turn. At the time of putting it away it was running fine, has mower deck and wheel weights - obviously very well used, but certainly restorable. I am moving. It is free to a good home. Can you help me find a home for it? Located in Lawrence, KS. 785-594-3092.

Here is what I gather, I think:

Wheel Horse C-160 1974 Model 1 0385 9 Serial 1027314

Engine: Tecumseh HH 160-170019 Serial 3348 E

Hi Richard,

First...........

I think it is great that you came here and offered your tractor to a member. That is a rarity and shows us something of your character.

Too many times we tend to look at the money involved in this fascination for these tractors we have. (If just in the trading, purchase or the selling of them), for you to give up a couple hundred dollars and just offer a Wheelhorse to a member close to you is commendable.

I wish you well and I'm sure whoever accepts your offer will take nice care of that tractor.

thanks jeff for letting me drive 50 miles round trip to let your wife and 4 huge dogs greet me in your driveway and your wife tell me i could not have it because it was hers, im sure you probably sold it to someone. lesson learned dont always believe every thing you read on the internet.

You mean you drove to this guys house and he doesn't even have enough nerve to come out and tell you himself? I guess I should say spinal cord!!! No Guts!!!! WoW! You probably even called him. That sucks to put it mildly.

:woohoo:

Is it just coincidence, or did you join the site just to bash another member? I talked to his wife this morning & she told me the same thing. I talked to him this afternoon & he explained his job is moving out of state & if he wants to keep it , he has to move to Kentucky. He has two kids that are going to be seinors in h/s this fall & doesn't want to uproot them so his wife is staying until the kids graduate. As you can imagine, he has alot on his plate. He never discussed the w/his wife because he didn't know it was an issue. Turns out it was a BIG issue w/his wife. Recind a free offer he made to a guy on the phone or face hardships in his marriage over a well used 36yr. old garden tractor until who knows when? As someone who is happily married, I can say, he made the right choice. I can understand your upset, but I don't see the reasoning to "call him out" on this website. He may have made his 1st & last post, because of your comments. If this is the 1st deal that didn't work out for you, I can speak from experience, it's not going to be the last.

I am gonna say something here. I dont know if the guy joined the site just to ragg on the guy or not but a deal is a deal and a man IMHO is only as good as his word. And John Burrrly has a good point about the spine thing, if the guy bucked up he should have got on here and fessed up told everyone the deal is off and why, so no one gets all jacked up on a non obtainable horse. But in my world I feel the the man should be head of house and make the decisions wife upset or not. MJ got mad at me years ago on a 1054 I got rid of that she said was hers that was after I made the deal with the guy in a trade and she was crying belle ring and the whole smear. I thought a minute and then told her to dry it up, And knock it off, a deal is a deal and my words on the line here. I didn

I know you ain't talking to me. I call them like I see them. Nothing more, nothing less. You really ought to think about what you say before you open flapper. End of story.

I believe I have been here a whole lot longer than you. Imagine that!
