Wheel Horse Kid 104 #4 Posted May 25, 2012 I just looked at it on Ebay, and it is pretty cool and would be nice to have, but I do not think that I would be willing pay what he is asking for it! I think that I would rather spend the money on a tractor! :laughing-rofl: :laughing-rofl: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 500 #5 Posted May 25, 2012 Ya know I am pretty sure Wheel Hose was buying a standard tractor radio painting them red and slapping a sticker on them, so if one wanted a lower cost version and you weren't to particular you could find an older model tractor radio fairly cheap and paint it red and slap a sticker on it.

wh500special 2,055 #7 Posted May 25, 2012 You could do that, but it wouldn't be "authentic". Not that I much care. I'm pretty sure in addition to the decal and the red paint that the radio had an ID tag on the back or underneath identifying it as being WH-sourced. I'm much too lazy and apathetic to look up the model number right now. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,595 #8 Posted May 25, 2012 So if its real old would it be AM stations only ? There isn't one AM station near me that I listen to. Hard to believe it has enough of an amp to be loud enough to be heard over a Kohler 16 spinning at 3600 rpm's . Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,987 #16 Posted May 25, 2012 If I were to have one of those I would have to get another hood. Get it all restored and mount the radio and only put the whole thing on for shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,954 #17 Posted May 25, 2012 ...and then restore the radio to make it show worthy too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,116 #18 Posted May 25, 2012 I wouldn't restore it, looks good to me. It would look nice on a nice survivor tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redhorse100 4 #21 Posted May 26, 2012 hi this one is a wheel horse i have been looking for one for years. and this is the first one i have seen other than in pictures. i dont know how many years they were made but there is a picture of one in the 1972 wheel horse sales catalog. the 425.00 dollars is just a starting bid. i had emailed him and he told me that if it did not sell on ebay he would sell off ebay but the price would be higher and he does not have the headphones. price is high but how many have come up for sale????

Callen 64 #22 Posted May 26, 2012 When I was quite younger, I used to set on our front porch and listen to the Reds games on our neighbors tractor radio about a mile down the road. Crystel clear. No cabs to speak of in those days. You had to turn them way up to hear them over the diesels. No wonder my hearing is so bad now. Just flash backs,LOL Chester 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corn53 4 #23 Posted May 26, 2012 We should come up with a modern MP3 Version of this. That is a cool add on!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redhorse100 4 #24 Posted May 26, 2012 hea corn is that pop or ear of corn? getting back to the subject. it looks like you could take a hot rod hood scoop and some tin work and make that with a mordern radio with 10 disc cd ??? let me know when you get it done so you can cut me in on the profits!!!!
