Bluffhunter 37 #1 Posted May 3, 2013 Hello friends, My father passed away in July 2011, and he always wanted me to have his Wheelhorse, as he knew I would always take very good care of it. I have kept it started every few months, but just haven't had it in me to take it home until just the past week or so. I know it needs to be at my house so I can enjoy using it, and keeping it in tip top shape. It's a 1979 C-161 Automatic, that he bought new, and that was always taken the best of care of. He did rebuild the 16hp Kohler a couple of years before he passed away. It has a snow blade, wheel weights, tire chains, lawn roller, mower deck, and a small trailer with it. I have already learned a lot just from browsing this website. Looks like you guys have a lot of fun here talking about your horses ! Nice to meet ya.

Bluffhunter 37 #7 Posted May 3, 2013 Thanks for the welcomes and I will try to figure out how to post pictures once I get the old girl home ! Bowtieguy ( Frank ) we are practically neighbors at 184 miles apart. I live 30 mile East of Springfield, Mo. That would be 30 miles east of where the snow stopped last night. I have family in Warsaw that got about 4" over night. Have a GREAT Friday and weekend everyone !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
