pfrederi 17,147 #1 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) To steal a line from Charlton Heston....For multiple Horse owners which one is the last one you would ever let go of? My L-107 that my Dad bought new will be the last one to go. It will go to my grand nephew (his great grandson)...and then only when they haul me off to the old farts home.

squonk 38,931 #3 Posted January 23, 2014 I love my 704 as well but I would have to say my C-160 as it does the most work around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,043 #4 Posted January 23, 2014 I have been driving my C-105 since I was too young to reach the pedals (dad did that part). It will be the last one to go, but the one I am rebuilding will be the work horse so That will be hard to let go too... I am going to have to make sure to raise my son (9 months old) to enjoy and respect these machines as much as me and my father so he will pass them on to his children.

Wishin4a416 2,186 #5 Posted January 23, 2014 The 87 312-8 that I bought new I would guess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #6 Posted January 23, 2014 The 87 312-8 that I bought new I would guess. Same as Jack. The 1991 312-8 that I bought new would be the last one to go. Just look how happy I am in my Avatar pic 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Kuhn 1,547 #8 Posted January 23, 2014 definitely would be the 401, but if I could keep one other one it would probably be the 702 I have, it is in perfect original condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cruisnblue48 783 #10 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I see a pattern here... either one we bought new ourselves or a new one that belonged to our dads. The one I most definitely will hold onto is the 1962 552 that my dad bought new when I was just six years old. My dad sold it back in the '70s. I got it back from the family that bought it from my dad 2-1/2 years ago after not seeing it or knowing of its whereabouts for nearly 40 years. I am currently restoring it and enjoying every phase of the restoration project. She should be completed by the time the Big Show in Arendtsville, PA rolls around this year. I am hoping it eventually gets passed down to my grandson who is now four years of age. Edited January 23, 2014 by cruisnblue48 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunny 240 #11 Posted January 23, 2014 My 857. My Dad purchased new in 1967, I received it in 1998 and has been worked with and played with by 4 generations of our family. The youngest being 8 months old went for a ride over Christmas. Last week it went from pulling pine logs, to being ridden by an 8 year old all within an hour. It is indeed a multipurpose machine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel Horse Kid 104 #12 Posted January 23, 2014 Mine would be my 1045 Pulling Tractor that my grandpa had for close to 25 years (if not longer) and it was the tractor that my dad used for mowing and snowplowing when him and mom first moved into our house after they had the house built. Also, it was the tractor that grandpa and dad turned into a pulling tractor for me when I was a little kid and then grandpa gave it to me a few years later. It will be with me till the day I die! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 991 #13 Posted January 24, 2014 hard question to answer,love em all,but for me it would be my 308 that I bought brand new and the 42 side discharge deck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc724 924 #14 Posted January 24, 2014 My 1978 C141-8 that I restored (along with the deck and snow plow) last year. Why-because it reminds me of a time when I was much younger when I bought my first Wheel Horse, a 1979 C111-8. I let my grandkids drive it around in low gear (with supervision of course). Only one of the grandkids has seen it after the resto. His comments: It looks brand new! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 552 #15 Posted January 24, 2014 I would say my GT-1142 my grandpa bought it new and I never knew him so its all I have to remember him by. I respect the tractor and will never let it out of this Desko family nor would I let my dads D-160 go because that's the first horse I learned to ride 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boovuc 1,090 #20 Posted January 24, 2014 My C-175 stays no matter what. Even if I have to repower it with an Onan someday. (Still has the original KT17 Series I in it)! It was my first Wheelhorse and it still gets used year-round. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorekiwi 761 #22 Posted January 24, 2014 It'll probably be my 1973 14 Auto, the first one I bought (well used in 2001!) The funny thing is I haven't moved it in about 3 years as it needs an engine rebuild. I am really not a fan of that C series type styling either. But it did me well for quite a few years. Its fairly original, still has reasonably good paint, and hasn't spent a night outside in its life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
