what do you guys think of this for my 2nd horse

[dgjks6 6]

I decided I got the bug and need another horse. What model is this? Is it hard to get parts for? Overall what do you think?

I like to work on it with my son.

This one is close to my house.

It is what it says.... A 1973 Wheel Horse 16 Automatic. (tractors weren't "named" in 1973 and the A,B,C,D series didn't show up until 1974)

It is basically the same as a C-160 and is probably too much money for a tractor you can't "test drive" or don't have any history on. That part is entirely up to you though. :whistle:

I think I gonna keep watching. With gas it would cost almost $500 round trip. Without a test drive I kinda get worried. For my first "second" horse I think I may want something newer. I also like the hour meters - at least they give you some guage of the tractors use.

Thanks for the toro site. I looked it up and looked up my 312.

Thats prolly a wise decision mot knowing much about the person or tractor! I know all about those road trips!
