Nice Wheel Horse a guy didn't want!

[Hammerhead 817]

I got a call from a friend who said his buddy had a old Wheel Horse that was junk and wanted rid of it for cheap, I love these calls! I went to look at it about 20 miles away and the guy said it was in rough shape. I checked it out and it had some issues but over all it was in pretty good shape. The 12 hp Kohler had a cam shaft that had some teeth missing and that was the worst thing. The head was missing but the head bolts were scattered around the machine. The left front spindle was broke off too. He kept saying how rough it was and may be a parts machine. I saw the hydrualic lift on the side and figured that was worth a few bucks! The seat is in great shape and seems to be a rare style of WH seat! I've seen similar seats on Ebay for $300 or more! So I asked him how much he wanted for it and he said to make him an offer. I said well is $50 enough for you? He replied rather quickly, that is was plenty! So it's a early 1970's Electro 12 with hydrostat drive, nice back tires, rims and hubs, dash is intact with all the goodies, lighter, pto switch, head light switch and a good pair of choke and throttle cables, hydraulic lift set up, nice steering wheel with center cap and a nice intact decal even! It also has the mower deck on it but it has some rust holes but not too bad. Good deal for the money! KJ

Nice deal!

Great deal!

I've got one of those. That hydro lift is nice. If the electric pto clutch works, that's money! And I believe that had the solid state ignition. If that works that's more money. That was the top of the line for the year. (1970-1972.) all and all a very good Wheelhorse!

Now that's a deal. I would love to have that seat. I had an Electro 12 I sold last year. At the same time I saw an electric clutch sold on Ebay for over $200. I think I paid $350 for the one I had without a deck and it had a Kohler Magnum in it. From the last couple posts it seems Ohio is the place to be this week.

Not really a parts tractor to me...............   You would definetly make some money parting it out though. I know we can't save 'em all but I don't like to see them get parted out when they could be brought back to life without too much work.

What are you going to do with it?
