Retired Wrencher 5,657 #1 Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) I pick this up two days ago in New Milford Ct. Because it was cheap from a nice older Wheel Horse enthusiast. He is 75 and still going strong. He has a bunch that he is try to thin out. It was a long ride for me but The Dog and I had fun going after the B-80. The engine is a trans plant but very little score marks hardly any smoke. Should be a good plow tractor because of the HI Lo tranny. It is like Craig says You can not just have one tractor It is not allowed. I hope you enjoy the video.

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,401 #6 Posted August 11, 2017 Gary, You got that from Nick. He is a great guy and all of about 2 mins down the road from my place. You could have stopped over and checked out your old ride. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,657 #7 Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Spoiler Yes Steve it was. He has been doing this a lot longer than we have I believe. But his age I am thinking it time to thin it out a little. Boy I hope I have the energy that he has at that age. 12 hours ago, AMC RULES said: collecting is like them LAYS potato chips Gary... everybody knows, you can't have just one.

Tankman 3,520 #10 Posted August 13, 2017 Never felt like a collector, just needed one for mowing, another for pushing snow, had to have one to pull a trailer of wood, then don't forget a Horse for grandsons to drive to the mailbox. Oh yes, a couple of Stallions for the boys to work on. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DennisThornton 4,771 #16 Posted August 15, 2017 "only need one tractor" Odd phrase... Where and why did this phrase originate? What does it mean? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 9,468 #17 Posted August 16, 2017 Dennis, I agree with you. What kind of looney tunes person came up with that phrase? We all know one tractor just doesn't cut it. I mean I guess you could,but changing all those attachments would cut into your seat time. Plus we all know that you simply can't have just one, you just can't!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
