Hoping to get some assistance from Wheel Horse members

Recommended Posts

AlwaysTwoTired

My name is Scott Johnson and my brother,Adam was a member and long time owner/ and fan of Wheel Horse tractors. 

He managed to accumulate 6 of them, employing them for all the various tasks they are known to accomplish. 

Adam was also a very skilled auto mechanic for about 30 years, so he loved to work on the tractors as well. 

Well, very, very sad to say, I lost my brother to God*#@* cancer, back in May. He fought every single inch of the way. 

We were very close and he will missed every day of my life. 

And out of respect for my brother, I offered to help my folks,(whom are both in their upper 80’s), to do something with all the tractors and some parts that he has collected. I reside in Sugar Land, Texas and Adam was living in Buffalo, New York when he passed. 

I went up to Buffalo, just recently  to spend some quality time with family and talk about what needs to happen. 

I did grab a bunch of pictures of the tractors, and some  accessories. 

What I’m hoping for, is to get help from the good people of this website, to help guide me a little with the value and pricing of the tractors and stuff that’s need to be sold. I’m not as familiar with everything as Adam was, because my passion is being on two wheels. 

His long time girlfriend, Kathryn, that he lived with, knew his love for these neat machines and has everything locked, securely in her garage. 

I can post pictures when necessary, but first, I’m looking forward to hearing from fellow members first   

I think Adam’s name on this site was “Hondagod64”. ( He was always a fan of the Honda Motor company. Me too, as I’ve had 4 Honda motorcycles) 

I thank everyone in advance for their help. 

Regards,

Scott

For what it’s worth, I think I would like to see Wheel Horse members have the opportunity to buy everything, because I feel that’s what Adam would want, knowing these are people that appreciate the same things he was.

:text-welcomeconfetti: to the :rs:  Scott.

 

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.    My condolences to you, your parents, and Kathryn.

 

There are many members here that will be able to answer any questions .

 

Just a couple general  points regarding estimating value.

 

Quality close up pictures of the items are necessary for the assessment.      Readable pictures of any model/serial numbers will help.

 

The location can be a factor in the value.

 

Any paper trail (manuals, purchase and repair records, maintenance records) can add value.

 

After the value is determined, our classified section can certainly be used to sell the items.  Please read the rules section.

 

There many other sites ( Craigs List, Facebook market place, and other tractor sites) that could also be used  to sell.

 

Best of luck to you in whatever you decide.

Ed,

Thank you for your  reply. 

Much appreciated. 

Thank you for the information 

Thats what I needed to point me in the right direction. 

Im thinking as things move along, I can have Kathryn get specific pictures to help figure things out. 

I can see why he spoke highly of the Wheel Horse Club, and enjoyed being a member.

This is remarkable. I still have an old 70s Honda that I maintain and valued his insight on the old BBS still in use today. His contribution will be sorely missed by a great many people. Very saddened to hear it.

Scott...sorry for your loss to you and your family.  Just so you know...Adam's screen name was "hondagod64" . (I edited that in your 1st post)  He was a supporter on Red Square...joined April 12, 2014.  He had over 106 posts and was a constant contributor for a time.  He has some excellent pictures of some of his projects in the "Gallery" and he will be missed.  One thing we do now for members that have passed, is we show the members name in "green" on all of his previous posts.  He will be a member here as long as Red Square exists.  :handgestures-thumbup:

Sorry to hear of your loss. As others have said it is likely that members will be interested in some your brother's tractors. It will take some time to find buyers so if this is not a problem the our classified section would be the way to go.

@AlwaysTwoTired Scott, welcome to our community, I wish it was on better terms.  Best of luck with your endeavors and take the time you need to make the right decisions for you and your family.  By the pictures you posted, I can tell he cared very much for the four tired machines as well.  Take care, always keep the rubber side down.

Very sorry to hear this. I remember a lot of your brothers posts. I became a part of this group after my father passed and I inherited all his tractors. I sold a couple but there are some I couldn’t sell. My way of staying connected I guess. I wish you the best as you move forward with this but beware..... if you keep just one tractor, you may just hang around and become part of this family also. Bless you my friend.

Scott,

I’m saddened to to read about your brother Adam passing. I live near Biloxi, Ms. and have a trip planned to Buffalo (and back) starting in just a couple of days.  I have a full sized pickup truck that will be empty for the return trip to Biloxi and would be proud and honored to provide transport of the special tractor that he entrusted to your care.  Please send me a PM here if you think I can help. 

Very Respectfully,

Condolences, its sad day when any of our guys pass.

Here is a thread when we lost another really great guy, your brother offered a thought in it and I'll bet he never even met Woodchuck or knew him like some of us did. Says a lot about your Bro.

Any chance he built a log home there?

I will vouch for Bruce, he is a stand up guy in my book. He held a tractor for me for about 5 months without a deposit until I could get it. I definitely would deal with Bruce again. Mighty fine gesture Bruce.
