Sean Keys 57 #1 Posted January 2, 2015 I always keep an eye out for my next scheme that may work, and one day that hair-brained scheme came my way in an ad on Craigslist that caught my eye. A listing stating a wheel horse collection was being sold off. Buying in bulk never scared me, and I always look for someone selling off bulk Wheel Horse items! So, naturally I called the man and was immediately interested in this scheme. When I mentioned it to another local collector (ricksrj58) this scheme came to be reality. Yesterday (New Years Eve) we made the 3 hour trek to take a look at what it was we may be getting ourselves into. We were pleasantly surprised to see most of the contents of the collection were quite nice and all quite useable parts. Along with a few attachments and even 3 complete tractors! We made a very, very fair offer, and they accepted! We brought the first load home with us last night, it was all of the stuff that sat outside. Upon digging through the items, none of us could identify some of them. Not only would I like this thread to document this lifetime collection, but use it to help identify some of the unknown parts. Below will be the photos of the first (of at least 3) load. Tomorrow I will start sorting the parts and begin listing them on eBay. The parts in this load are mostly Raider, Commando, Charger, Automatic, Electro, and no name tractor parts. As I sort I know there will be many unidentified parts and so will start the game of wheel horse parts trivia! I hope you guys can help with the identification of some parts. Here are photos of the first load. More pics to come soon, and more loads to come this weekend 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Keys 57 #3 Posted January 2, 2015 I presume these could be picked up in June if bought on eBay. If your headed to the big show and purchase something from me pick up here is always an option. Just message me on eBay before you purchase the item to let me know. I will deduct the shipping amount and hold the item as long as it is payed for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Keys 57 #5 Posted January 3, 2015 First few items are on FeeBay, they are being a pain and haven't "indexed" the items yet so you guys cant see them. Hopefully later tonight or tomorrow they will work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Keys 57 #6 Posted January 4, 2015 Well, here was todays progress, everything has been moved now. Weather was not very cooperative, but we made it and did what we promised we would do! The complete tractors (B-100 Automatic, 14 Automatic, and a 1075 , or something like that, it needs a fair bit of TLC) all are headed to ricksrj58's house to get running and tuned up and ready for there next chapter in their life. Maybe even sold or traded! Meanwhile I have to disperse everything else that isn't being added to either of our collections. A nice snow blower, a nice rototiller, a few complete hydro's, maybe a 3 speed to spare, hitches, hoods, axles, engines, a nice lawn sweeper, seat pans, foot rests, mule drives, only one mower deck (separate from the two tractors with decks), GT 14 parts tractor, countless shrouds and carbs, and so, SO, much more my head hurts thinking about it! Here are the photos of the garage we mostly emptied. Lots of smalls, and lots of work! P.S. We are now upgrading to delivery to the WHCC show in Arendtsville, PA in late June. Contact me if you want your items delivered to the show and we will make arrangements. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Keys 57 #10 Posted January 5, 2015 Here are the attachments I am letting go. Any ideas what this stuff is worth individually? Lawn sweeper bag has definitely seen better days but it is repairable. I couldn't find a tag on the snow blower, but here is the info off of the other items. Rototiller: Model no. 7 1251 9 Serial number: 51591 Lawn Sweeper: Model no. 7 2521 8 Serial number: 945409 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
