Wheel-N-It 2,967 #6 Posted December 2, 2012 I know I am sounding ignortant here, but are there not many Wheel Horse's in Nebraska? If not, can you tell me why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #7 Posted December 2, 2012 Just saw one listed yesterday, not my choice, but looks nice. Commando 800, clean, with a complete dozer. Asking $350 but, sure he'll take less. My Horses are real clean, '85 416-8 is the newest, a few minor problems but, put a 48" dozer (like new and cheap!) just a couple of days ago. Vinylguy sent new decals for the hood which was just painted today. Ye ha! I stopped at a JD dealer, Grandson likes tractor catalogs, the parts guy's neighbor has only eleven (11) Wheel Horses. A pity for someone living in the Northeast! Sorry, Eastern PA and north are gathering all Wheel Horses to garden and mow. Keeping up with global warming of course. You can sign up for a new crop of oranges from New Hampshire if you're quick 'bout it! Stop by Lincoln, visit the Corn Museum, it's amazing! Go Huskers!

You guys that live up there sure are LUCKY It's funny I live in the Northeast and say the same thing about the lucky guys in Pennsylvania , it seems like they have all the good tractors. I guess the grass looks greener on the other side. I guess we are all lucky that we have what we have, but no harm in dreaming. Just my two cents, thanks, Gene Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6wheeler 586 #10 Posted December 2, 2012 I feel your pain shuboxlover. You can't fling a dead cat around here without hitting a GREEN tractor or some crapper box store tractor wannabe. Not very many WH's here. And with so many people up here so hell bent for election to scrap iron, even those are disappearing fast. And the only collection they will end up in is the North Star Steel shredded metal pile.... Sad. But true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 10,380 #12 Posted December 2, 2012 Same problem here in Florida. I lived just outside of South Bend for 45 years and had a barn full of red. Sold everything when we full time RV'ed for 2 years before we settled down here about 10 years ago. It took forever to find this one on the gulf coast. It was filthy, neglected, banged up a bit and needed all new consumables like belts, etc. She runs great and looks pretty good now. Keep looking. You'll eventually find one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock farmer 41 #13 Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Northeast? What northeast? Finding anything other than lawn mowers is rare up here! You must be looking at New York and Pennsylvania! Edited December 2, 2012 by Rock farmer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtsampay 117 #14 Posted December 2, 2012 What Rock Farmer said. But then again sir, we aren't in the northeast. We are in Canada according to the rest of the country.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,641 #15 Posted December 2, 2012 I think your right about the quantity of Wheel Horse's here Tyson,,,,,, but,,,,,, although we have plenty of Wheel Horse's and attachments in southern New England to choose from on Craigslist or E-bay etc, we also have plenty of Wheel Horse guys crawling thru those classifieds so if you see something you like you need to get off the couch and make your move fast! There are no Wheel horse's available for the slow to act . Mike........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleredrider 408 #16 Posted December 2, 2012 There might be alot around here, but the problem is is the northeast. Everything metal rusts just looking at it. I'm amazed stuff from the 60s is still around. I haven't seen much out there recently, but I did find a 65-67 while working, but can't tell the shape of it. I'll have to stop in one of these days.....keep looking, you'll find something.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

546cowboy 301 #20 Posted December 2, 2012 The thing about living in PA,NJ,NY or anywhere up there is you can drive a hundred miles for one and cover quite a few states. Seems like every thing I see around here is 150 miles away or more and usually more. You would think being about 80 miles from South Bend there would be more closer to me. But NO!!

Sparky-(Admin) 19,641 #21 Posted December 2, 2012 You would think being about 80 miles from South Bend there would be more closer to me. But NO!! I don't think being close to the factory is what determines how many WH's are in your area. More like how many dealers are/were in your area. Mike..........

varosd 1,185 #22 Posted December 2, 2012 It is curious that PA/NY and lower New England seems to be the nexus for Wheel Horse. now was this where the majority of the midwest machines were marketed and sold or did they end up hereafter being re sold again and again? Was there any Factory records on the marketing or zip codes where these dealers were that might shed some light? Just happy being at the center of the Wheel Horse Universe! :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevbo 80 #24 Posted December 2, 2012 I just scanned the Craigslist here in Reading, PA and found over 80 hits alone...so far I have only two wheel horses and it is taking everything in my power to not go out and buy more!! I need to make sone room in my shed and repair a broken craftsmen to sell and repair a broken John Deere to sell...it's funny the only ones that do not break are Wheel Horses!!! =) I think I'm becoming a collector...
