ztnoo 2,298 #51 Posted February 1, 2017 My question is what model is it??? The ad listing gives nothing I can identify........MODEL NUMBER 62.20973 ????? In the "Item specifics" is states RJ..........but I don't know the earlier models well at all, so I have no clue. Anyone have any ideas or info on what this custom is based on?

953 nut 51,775 #53 Posted February 1, 2017 Based on what I can see it is probably a 1963, 33E , not that it matters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,814 #55 Posted February 1, 2017 What might be more interesting is the history behind it....the who, what, when, where & how!?!? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,814 #57 Posted February 2, 2017 Yes I should have said that... beg forgiveness Craig.....maybe the why is the creator narrowly missed out on a Senior and he built this to console himself?!?!? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,814 #59 Posted February 2, 2017 Sorry @ztnoo....musta forgotten that when the missus beat me up about the head with the cast iron skillet when I brought that last tractor home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ztnoo 2,298 #60 Posted February 2, 2017 Well..........we all have "domestic situations and considerations"..........so no harm, no foul. I've only owned ONE Wheel Horse for 35 + years. No skillet has been near my head...................at least that I can remember....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ztnoo 2,298 #61 Posted February 2, 2017 Now @ $710.00 Time left: 5h 37m 7s Ends: Today 10:24PM Boys better start checking your bank account if you are really interested in this. Bidnapper bidding will probably go nuts when the clock strikes 30 seconds to the close of the auction. Any guesses where this will wind up??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,814 #62 Posted February 2, 2017 No thanks not gonna dip into my C-161 fund either. I gave up @ 260 clams. I'll guess 900 ....closest winner gets to hang out with Squonk at the bus stop or have a sip out of Steve's mug....take your pick. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,775 #63 Posted February 2, 2017 Two committed bidders with deep pockets, every sellers dream scenario! I may stay up past my normal bedtime just to see how high it will go, or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ztnoo 2,298 #64 Posted February 2, 2017 So Richard.......do you know both these bidders???........and where do you think this might end up??? Curious minds want to know......... I have my own speculative option, but I prefer to hear from those more experienced Wheel Horsemen. What say you, Gentlemen??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know the bidders, but if you click on the number of bids it will show the first and last character of the bidders ID and at present there are two going at it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ztnoo 2,298 #66 Posted February 3, 2017 The thing about the sniping tool technique is if you put your bid in first and hold to a high beyond what you think the item will actually go for, sometimes you can win the auction one increment above the required amount to raise the bid, whatever the last bid winds up (be it by $1, $10, $100, whatever). You'll almost never win trying to do it manually by watching the bids physically. If you do, you'll always be late in your bidding, and you'll be SOL. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,051 #67 Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Just checked on this again with about 20 minutes to go at $825. Is that Wheel Horse body work and engine put on some kind of electric utility vehicle like a Cushman scooter or something like that? It just doesn't look like the WH frame is there. And the seat, it kinda looks like maybe it's made of wood. Very curious. It would certainly be cool to know the story behind this thing.
