Bought it sight unseen and scored BIG

[Docwheelhorse 2,740]

Hello All,

Another great time at another great show in the books.... already can't wait to see you guys next year!

Most of you already know I'm a Briggs and Stratton fan---yah I know..... I can hear the sighs from here! Anyways--I get a call while I'm at the show that an ex Toro Wheel Horse dealer (Still handles Toro push mowers and snow throwers..) I deal with got in a GT1100 with a deck and that he wants to dump it for $50. I buy it sight un-seen and figure it is a pile of wreckage that I bought for parts. A fellow Redsquare member that couldn't go dropped it off at my house....

I got up this morning and took a walk to have a look and was very pleasantlly greeted by this tractor... it gave me the sad puppy dog that needs a home look and it was love at first sight!

It looks like the motor has accorns and a mouse condo in it.... I will get it running and I think shes yet another keeper!

wooooooooo hoooooooooooooo!!!! Briggs power !!!!

Very nice! For 100 bucks you can't go wrong.

[Docwheelhorse 2,740]

Your right!!! For $100 I couldn't go wrong... and he sold it to me for $50 complete!!! Not $50 for the tractor and $50 for the deck... :woohoo:

[Ken B 3,189]

Oh man then you really scored. For some reason I was thinking you paid 100! LOL! There is a total bad azz Work Horse that iis always at the show. I believe the guy comes from Canada. This yr. during the daytime parade he was pulling a Wheel Horse snow mobile with it. It is one of my sons and my favorite tractors at the show. I'm positive others know the tractor I'm talking about and someone must have a picture of it.

Those Work Horses look real nice restored. Saw one on eBay and it look beautiful.

Yep, so bada$$ I had to snap a couple picts of it, notice it's signed by Cecil on the rear fender pan too.

Sounded pretty heavily modified when he burped the throttle.

Buckrancher captured it in Fridays mid day parade pulling the sled in his photos too.

I'd buy them all day for $50 that look like that, but is the front axle green? I have a few with green tires and frames a little moss stuff growing on them.

Yep, a little mossy. I saw this one up close and I bet it just needs a good power-wash-bath and some fresh gas and a battery and it'll fire right off. I really like look of the gray machines. Mine started out life with the Briggs 16 twin but has a Kohler 10 Mag now.

I saw that pic of it pulling the sled too and that is a good looking machine. I was never a big fan of those until I saw a restored one on Ebay a couple months back. The guy did an awesome job, it looked like a NOS machine. They sure do look nice all cleaned up.

Good score, and it was delivered to you!

[Coadster32 793]

Can't beat that with a stick. Nice pickup. :handgestures-thumbupright:

[Ken B 3,189]

Craig: Yes sir that is the one! 2 yrs. ago his son was driving it in the Friday night cruise and every time it went by it was just music to my ears.

[varosd 1,185]

I think it looks cool! I bet 20 yrs from now, a lot of us will be wishing we had saved every WheelHorse! to include little rear engines, "A" series with Briggs, "200" series etc that we bypass at this time. We have to rememeber that there is only a finite number of this machines and no more coming off the line..or the parts to repair them.

[Jake Kuhn 1,579]

You sure got a great deal on that one! Jake

[bowtiebutler956 650]

That price can't be beat! Looks very solid.

Here's the ebay one. I had to save a pic because it looked so good.

Heres one I did for the 2001 show. Notice how few tractors and people were at this one?
