Sparky-(Admin) 19,786 #1 Posted March 5, 2017 So a guy in my town leaves a note in my neighbor Tony's (Docwheelhorse) mailbox saying he has some tractors he would sell and gave a phone #. Tony calls and it sounds like there are 6 machine, so he asks me if I want in and I said sure! We get there and the guy gives us a tour of the Wheel Horses he has for sale and except for a couple 310-8s it's all for sale. We asked how much for it all and in the end we settled at a fair price and today we hauled it all home. What did we get? 1979 C121/8 speed with 42" deck, wheel weights and plow bracket 1968 or 69 Charger 12 Auto with 42" deck 1990 or newer 416/8 speed with a nasty 48" deck 1977ish D-160 with 48" deck and a huge snowplow (no engine) Mid 80's rear engine WH 108 with a deck. 1983ish C-125/8 speed Huge Bolens 32" walk behind snowblower 42" long frame snowplow. The C-121, 416/8, rear engine rider and the Bolens are all running machines! I'm keeping the C-121 and Tony is keeping the Charger 12....the rest will be going up for sale (can't keep em all!!)

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,366 #13 Posted March 6, 2017 Good haul, Mike and Tony @Docwheelhorse. Just send the 416-8 and the C-125 down here to Missouri. It ain't too far from you guys, just leave them on the trailer and drop them off here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To sweeeeeet'n the deal, I'll throw in a picture of you with it when it's done! Unfortunately, time to do any custom tractor is out of the question for a few months or I would definitely be interested in buying it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
