JVDWheelHorse 170 #1 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Hello RedSquare, I found this wheel horse on Craigslist and would like to know if it is a good deal or not. The seller says it has not run in a few years but it looks great and comes with a snowblower and blade. It has an 8hp Kohler by the looks of it. Cant figure out how to post pictures but here is the link.... Edited March 20, 2016 by Sparky Craigslist link deleted 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,792 #17 Posted March 21, 2016 W/H Kid if you get it .This looks like a 855 or a 856 . It is ben sitting out side so make sure at least turns over buy turning the crank. If you have a jumper box. See if it has spark. That would be a good start. I hate when thing left out side with out a cover at least, like the blower and plow good $$ gone bad. I hope you get it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dad has been giving me tips when buying, we have a bunch of round fender I'd 110's, a couple speedex's, and two Baird beaver tractors. I have two that are "mine" but I have never actually bought myself a tractor. I have bought myself 4 maytag engines, but no tractor. I appreciate your tips because I'm not sure I would've thought to check for a loose engine but oh well, I'm only 15 and still learning! I really appreciate all of the help I am receiving on this site! Makes me glad I joined! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once you buy your first you'll keep buying and buying, trust me. I'm only 15 myself, and I've had 12 wheel horses at one time. It's an addiction! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'm addicted to shows and basically all aspects of the vintage farm and garden world, I just got to get a collection going, sounds like your not having any trouble! Thanks for giving me a goal, that's for sure! Awesome to hear other people my age into this stuff! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good deals will pop up from time to time, like the one you are looking at now. But when those good deals pop up, you have to jump on them right away. About a month or two ago a guy in the Lancaster area had a barnfull of wheel horses, I jumped on that right away, and someone still got ahead of me. All of them sold in a couple hours. Plus, collecting is very fun. I buy and sell, to get money to buy and keep. But once you get into it, you meet all kinds of people and see all different kinds of things, its interesting. I wish you luck! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish you luck! Yeah I hear you about jumping on stuff right away, I missed a raider 10 for $225 I probably should've bought a couple months ago. And I think I'm going to do what you do by buying and selling. Keep what I love and sell what I don't. Have you ever been to Rough and Tumble? You meet all kinds of great people up there. Did you manage to get any tractors from the barn? And thanks, best of luck to you to! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've bought and sold wheel horse models that I'm not too fond of, and took the money from that and bought some of my favorite models, which are round hoods. Like RJs. And no, I've never heard of it.I just looked it up and it looks pretty neat! And no, someone bought them as a package deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah You have a good point and I love round hoods too...and I would try and make it to rough and tumble's thresher men's reunion. It's one of the biggest shows on the east coast, it's a lot of fun, I go all four days sun up to sundown! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
