Going to pick up another one sometime this week

Friend of mine came into the coffee shop this morning and asked me if I had $100. I asked him what for and he said he found me another Wheel Horse. Not sure on the model...my friend bought it brand new with a tiller on it in the mid 70s. He then traded it to another friend about 10 yrs ago, who has decided he wants to get rid of it. Hasn't ran in three or four years but Harry said it was running good when he parked it. I'll be anxious to get over there this week and see what it is and bring her home, will post more details as well as pictures when I get her home.

Yep tiller goes with it too...and Ray thought Harry might even let it go a bit cheaper so we will see

Just wish the old man could remember what model it was...the suspense of finding out is killing me lol

@Professor1990, what ever happened to the notion that Wheel Horses were hard to come by in Oklahoma? Seems like you trip over one every time you step out the door.   :handgestures-thumbupright:

I've known about this one and its whereabouts for a while now...just took us a while to get ahold of him and get it bought...but as far as CL listings they are hard to find I've found maybe three since the bug bit me. But I am getting lucky and stumbling across one every now and then

My guess would be at least a 10 horsepower Kohler based on the fact that a tiller was bought with it when purchased.

We know for a fact it's not green and yellow lol. All my friend can remember about his old tractor is that it is a Wheel Horse and it does have a tiller with it. Talked to him again this morning and it will probably be first part of next week before we can go pick it up...was wanting to this weekend but it's his anniversary so he will be out of town...sorry about the wait but y'all will be the first to know what it turns out to be when I get her home.

Good luck with your latest WH excursion.  Hope it works out so you can bring it home.  

And remember, when you do get it home :wwp:

 

P.S.  I've got a 310-8  waiting for me to go fetch when me and the owner can get our schedules in line.

Hoping to be able to get the new tractor picked up somewhere around either Tuesday or Wednesday of this week...this waiting is about to kill me lol I'm ready to get her home and hear her run again. Ray did tell me if he remembered correctly it was somewhere around a 16hp but only time will tell.
