wh5208speed 603 #1 Posted April 21, 2015 This winter I have been stashing some Wheel Horses at my brother's pole barn as it has allowed me to have more room working on the tractors at my house. This winter I asked him if I could use some of his space for some rent....he offered to store the Wheel Horses as long as I mowed his grass in the spring (6 lawn cuts of 1.5ac). Well the other day I was there and I looked in the barn and I thought....oh my, I just might have a serious problem with Wheel Horses 3-520-H 3-520-8 2-C-161-8 C-161-A 520Xi 518Xi C-145-A 314-8 3 dozer blades 2 Hardi Sprayers Grader Blade So I took this photo to remind my self to quit buying tractors....though I doubt it will work. As you can see from the photo of my 10 year old son wearing his Wheel Horse shirt.....he clearly has a genetic predisposition to have Wheel Horse Fever (He has 7 more Wheel Horses that he keeps at my Dad's house Thad (Needing Help, in Ohio) 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackC 616 #4 Posted April 21, 2015 Welcome to the club. You have lots of company. The problem is compounded if you own a trailer to pick them up. Even worse if you have a place to store them. My approach has been to try not to even look. Avoid CL and Ebay or you will certainly find a deal you just can't pass up. I still cheat and look but I felt I made some progress when a guy had a nice one on CL for free and I did not call. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mels 174 #8 Posted April 21, 2015 That's a nice collection. Some time ago when asked how many guns did I actually have(?), I used that time-tested answer "More than I need, not as many as I want..." Guessing that answer could be applied to just about anything... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 8,916 #10 Posted April 21, 2015 My family tree has some medical background floating around in it. So on the basis of medical knowledge by genetics, I legitimately offer the the following solution (at least short term) to your ailment. Load all the duplicate models up and send them to us poor fellas down here in Texas. I'll even help arrange a large trailer!. . We're going to have to start doing some Horse Rustling from somewhere! There's just not many down here 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wh5208speed 603 #15 Posted April 22, 2015 Yes you do have a problem! I didn't see any round hoods, or other vintage on your list; you have only scratched the surface. I will have a round hood someday. But there is only one model I have been looking for....854. I have always kept an eye out for them, but I only want one that is complete and has good metal.

cruisnblue48 783 #19 Posted April 22, 2015 Don't ya just hate it when those horses jump up on your trailer or the back of your pickup truck and follow you home. Well, not really, but then you have no choice but to keep them... as long as the wife isn't keeping score. Nice collection you have there. You definitely need a few Suburbans though... maybe even an RJ or two. :-D 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
