Jojoca 49 #5 Posted December 21, 2018 I live on 19 acres and love to garden and to expand it from the 1/4 acre I did have I finally talked my wife into letting me buy a garden tractor last February. The first one was the c105 thy came with deck, tiller, cultivator, dozer blade and the brinly disc. Bought them all for 1100 about 4 hours from me. I knew nothing about wheelhorses at the time. It didn’t have a sleeve hitch so I posted a wanted ad for one on craigslist and low and behold someone about 3 hours said he had a few. When I went to buy it he had over a dozen wheelhorses of all models and I fell in love and came back within a month and bought the old 1054. I used the excuse to my wife that my 11 year old could help restore it and learn how to use tools in the process. 😉 I would love to buy more in the up and coming years. Living in North central Kansas makes finding wheelhorses tough unless you want to travel. My garden has now expanded over an acre and will continue to grow it bigger. 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Mom bought Emory a 1960 suburban when he was 5. After I got it finished, we quickly found out one wasn’t enough. Now he and I have 19 together, 17 are running nice machines, some for play and some from work. I’m finishing #19 for his Christmas this year. I bought it for the rear wheels and deck with intentions of junking the rest. He fell in love with it and the rest is history. Excellent hobby and folks to involve your son with! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
