That RJ looks absolutely cool !!! I'd put a good running engine in it & try to leave the rest of it as it is. Can't wait to see the rest of the haul.

Going to pick up a load of horses Thursday evening. D160, rj, suburban and c141. Will post pictures when I get them. I’m gonna try an get them all in one load so I am gonna have to use some of @pullstart loading skills. I think I can fit three in the truck and put the d160 on the trailer. Here is a little preview, that’s all you guys get for now :ph34r: unless you just happen to find ad for them :lol:EEA547AC-1198-475A-A8B5-3AE53489039E.jpeg.281ef63e8486bea3ccb25ff3b4d959ab.jpeg

I can't seem to beat any of you guys to these things(RJ's)

Missed this one by a day also

Not getting them now, someone offered the guy $500 for the d160 rj and burb and I was supposed to get them all for $400. He said he would hold them for me but he didn’t keep his word. I would consider buying the three for $500 but I am not gonna give someone my money that was gonna sell them out from under me. People these days :mellow:

What a bummer.  The silver lining, is that you found out they were gone BEFORE you got there.

Yeah, I wasn’t gonna call but I figured it would be a good idea before making a two out drive. I am extremely disappointed, but I guess it is what it is.

I have been thinking about it and I might still try to work out a deal with him. As disappointed as I am and angry I still would really like to have these tractors. I will see what happens.

As much as it seems a bad move on the seller's part, after having dealt with so many flakes when selling stuff over the internet, I'm almost the same way. I've sold things in the past to people who've said "I'll be back with cash tomorrow!" and set up a time, to never hear from that person again. Unless someone leaves a deposit, if someone else shows up with cash first it's theirs. 

 

I've had stuff sold out from under me like that before and I've learned to bring a trailer and cash any time I'm going to look at something, instead of having to go back. Bringing the means to haul something is a huge bargaining-ship, since the seller will know you're serious. 

 

I'd go ahead and get the others.

If i decide I am still gonna get them I would have to get them tomorrow evening. He said there is a guy coming Saturday and if I still want them I have to get them before then.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but the only time I'll wait for someone to show is when nobody else calls. seriously, people will say they coming...

 

If I see a sweet deal, I make sure i get there immediately

 

now, if you approach this with the right attitude, you could leverage getting shafted for a better deal on the others ;)

The guy wants $500 for the rj burb and d.The highest I would feel comfortable is $500 for all 4. I don’t know the condition of any of them. They could all have seized transmissions and and blown engines for all i know. How much do you guys think the rj is worth as it sits ? The rj is what I want the most and the one I would be willing to pay the most for, as long as I know it’s worth what I would be paying for it.

Heading to the big show last year gave me a new perspective on what things will sell for.  Around here, it’s $100-150 more than asking price for non running tractors.  For more modern models, it’s $400-500 more.  I see non running Suburbans priced around $300 locally but have hopes to see a bigger pool in June with easier price tags to work with.

 

That rambling said, a tractor is worth what two people are willing to settle on.  I think there’s a chance that every tractor I bought at the show put a little cash in the seller’s pocket, but I felt like they were good deals for both parties.  After all, most of us will never get rich in this hobby alone but to me it’s worth it! :handgestures-thumbupright:

      The RJ58 was the big hit for spectators this year at my local festivals here in Carroll County OH. 
      the children loved getting their pictures sitting on it, then they discovered the bicycle horn under the steering wheel. It’s always a joy even in parades. Just love showing off part of my collection every year and hearing all the stories from those that had WH in their lives at one time. Can hardly wait to get to retirement so I can get some of my other models back to their glory in working order and be able to attend other shows/festivals throughout the year. My fellow tractor enthusiasts always know when a spectacular starts asking about WH, they point in my direction. I study up on the history of the different models and always intrigue those that didn’t know much about how WH came to be. This website is one place that has helped me learn so much about the WH history and I thank you for sharing your knowledge that I am able to pass on to keep WH alive and well.

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.
