1961 wheel horse, is it worth it?

Recommended Posts

Andrew D.

just found this a half mile from where I live, I believe it is a 1961 751 it has the double belt guard, and ran when parked 15 years ago. it comes with a plow, mower deck (needs work), and a cultivator everything to my knowledge seems to be correct on the tractor, my question would be is the cultivator wheel horse? and did the plow that attaches from the back (has a frame) go on '61s or was it supposed to be one that attached from front?
 the man that is selling it says he will take no less then 450$ I am 16 working a couple days after school who has a curse for buying old wheel horses is this a wise buy for me, 450$ might not be much for some of you but a lot for me.:) 
  I love reading what is going on with the forum and have learned a ton about these old tractors.
          thank you

That would be a 701

Looks pretty good. You can always make an offer and leave him your number. I believe that is a wheel horse cultivator.

Nice find, good luck with your purchase if you get it!  I love working my round hood around, it won't let you down if you get it going.  Make sure to be cautious when getting it going, change the oil, make sure it is free by hand before trying the starter, etc.

Are we sure its a 701? Those footrests are wrong and that dash has me thinking its not a 701. The hood decals are definitely 1961 and so is the double pulley setup....maybe its a combination of a 701 and something else :eusa-think: .
I'm by no means an expert....

the fenders have the brace making it '61 and the dash is plastic I am not an expert by any means but I think 61 was the only year there was a plastic dash.

Offers are always on the table...worst he can say is "no". Then you know where you stand on it's value to you and him...

Good luck!
