WVHillbilly520H 10,376 #2 Posted May 4, 2017 Jim, how come you find all the good and cheap deals in VA before the rest of us, Jeff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,638 #3 Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Jeff, Just persistence and luck.I saw the picture you see and that's all I had to go by.I didn't know it was a 96 anniversary model or was equipped with a Brinley hitch.The seller was turned off by people asking for model and other info.I told him I'd take it cash in hand no haggling,based on the picture alone.Don't know if I can get it to run but it seems to be in as good of shape as the picture suggests.JimAnderson Edited May 5, 2017 by JAinVA 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,362 #4 Posted May 5, 2017 Jim , take the lucky horseshoe out of your pocket. You already have a big herd. How many do you have including one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,638 #5 Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Jim, Like lJ Gibbs I don't really believe in luck.I gave up counting the Whs at 7or8.Better to have one go to someone who appreciates them rather than to the scrappers.Hope the missus is doing OK.

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,362 #6 Posted May 5, 2017 We are just waiting for next Thursday morning and the surgeon. She is having bad days and worst days. You better be on the look out for @857 horse and @roadapples trying to snag a couple of your herd. You are safe with me , the El Camino probably could not make it to your neck of the woods and since it is only rated for 1/4 ton it would be a bugger to drive back to my place. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JAinVA 4,638 #9 Posted May 5, 2017 Chip61, I didn't know you could have that deal with CL.I look at CL every day and the big online bidding site every day.Based on the last 520h I got on CL it seems that a non-running Onan powered WH is something that most shy away from.I have not had the time to deal with the last three WH's I dragged home.I wish somebody else in VA to would get a deal on these toys so maybe I'll stop lookng for a while. If that happens ,well the rain doesn't fall 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chip61 666 #10 Posted May 5, 2017 If you have a Craigslist account you can save searches that will notify you by email. If that 416 is cluttering up the place I'm sure it would love to cut grass down in Mathews!!! (I'm just trying to help ) I got my 416 that I got from my neighbor running by totally bypassing the wiring harness. I want to cut grass with it to make sure it's worth the time and effort to repair the wiring and clean up and paint (it's really rough). That one you got looks great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
