km3h 543 #9 Posted June 24, 2014 There was a D200 I came close to making an offer on but held back for some reason. Now I wish I had. It was back in one of the covered pavilions. Guy from Pa. had it. I should have gotten his telephone number but the guy I was with kind of pushed me along. There was a lot of good red iron up there and I wish I had taken a trailer with me. I might have a few new toys floating here if I had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerhead 817 #10 Posted June 24, 2014 Great score Mike! I would leave it in original condition just like it is! But I always say that! It even has the rare hard to find front tires, only made one year and only put on the 1045! Nice tractor for sure Bro! You guys need to come down to my house, I need to sell a bunch of the herd!

WheelHorse79 271 #14 Posted June 24, 2014 Nice 1045. It's great that it has it's original tires, they're getting harder to come by. I love my 1045, and almost brought it to the show this year, but circumstances beyond my control prevented me. Here is a picture of mine (restored): 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,773 #17 Posted June 27, 2014 what is the difference between the 1045 and the 1055 nice tractor buy the way. Gary B.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse79 271 #18 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) The 1045 was produced in order to use up left over parts between the round hoods and the new "square" hoods. They are a hybrid of the round fender seats and fenders, with the newer '65+ hood design and the wider tires. The 1045 uses a shallow oil pan on the 10 HP Kohler so it will clear the hood. I've heard that even though the hood looks like the newer 65+ hoods, it is unique to the 1045. Also, the front tires are unique to the 1045 and were used on no other Wheel Horse. There were an estimated 1100 built between August and October of 1964, though some appear to have been built in time for the 1964 Indy 500. There are a couple of pictures of 1045's appearing at that year's race. My understanding is that the 1055 has square rear fenders, newer seat design, and the 10 HP Kohler has a regular oil pan I really like my 1045. It is a short frame tractor like my 854, but feels larger with the bigger tires and higher hood. In my opinion, 1045 stands for: 10 = 10 HP, 4 = Special Model, 5 = 1965 year. There is also a rare 1046 model (1966) that has square fenders and the shallow pan 10 HP Kohler. That is why I believe the 4 stands for a special model and not the 1964 model year. Just my $.02...

sschevelle410 0 #20 Posted February 23, 2015 sschevelle410 Good morning, I just joined this forum and was looking for some advice. We have a old 1964 1/2 1045 wheelhorse. It has 4 different attachments from the same era. The attachments are a 1row plow, Cultivator, rear discharge belly mower deck, & a Front plow. This runs and drives fine. but is mostly original. I have learned that there were only 1100 of these made due to the hood and fender transition. It has 1965 fenders and the newer square hood. I was looking to see if anyone could give me an idea of the value of this? Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking to see if anyone could give me an idea of the value of this? Thank you Welcome to Redsquare SSCHEVELLE!!!! The problem with your question is value is relative to the person selling and the one buying. Also there is no real guide to value like the NADA or Kelly Blue book. You may get $350 for them, you may get $2000. It comes down to what someone will pay you. Ive seen $100 hunks of non-running junk score $750 at an auction before and Ive seen good tractors go for a steal because the seller was motivated and it was for sale for a long time. With a low production number like you have, that can only increase value. The super rare 420LSE is a good example. There's some real nice ones out there and then there's a few Ive seen that look as if they were rolled over twice and left outside for the last 20 years and the seller cant get anyone to spend $4000 on the tractor that's been for sale for 18 months...just because its special...junk is still junk...its just a 420LSE hunk o junk... I hope you'll find someone that will give you a set in stone price for your machine, but like I stated before, its just too hard with no guide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking to see if anyone could give me an idea of the value of this? Thank you Welcome! Your best bet is to start a new topic (new topic button in the forum) and provide plenty of pictures and a good description of its condition. Without pictures or description I would generally tell you between $1 and $3000. Most likely in decent shape in running condition with the attachments you could see between $350 and $700, but even that's just a shot in the dark... Like Jeff said, a hunk of rusty junk, no matter how rare is still junk. (Not that im saying yours is, but you get the point) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
