JAinVA 4,636 #3 Posted June 9, 2016 Not a Wheel Horse expert but I doubt that what you are looking at is anymore than someones creative expression. Price should be based on condtion and little else.JAinVA 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daddy Don 909 #13 Posted June 9, 2016 The 4th of July is not far away. Keep it like it is and drive it a parade and sell it for more than what you pay for it. Not that bad of a paint job. Lots of time spent getting it to look like this. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,189 #16 Posted June 9, 2016 Cub Cadet made a Lawn tractor that was painted very similar from the factory, it was called the Spirit of 76. I will say, whoever did the paint job on this tractor did a pretty good job. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elliot ness 1,916 #18 Posted June 9, 2016 No not factory, but It is a Wheel Horse and that's what counts! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 59,687 #19 Posted June 9, 2016 Lots of our tractors have been repainted, this one just had a bit of creativity used in the process. That would make it a custom, bring it to the Big Show. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
