Docwheelhorse 2,740 #1 Posted November 15, 2020 Hello All, Alot of 'Horse wrangling today... A guy named Chris out of Rhode Island traded me a clean D160 for my 520H which was in average shape... I dont like I the steering column hydro controls or the Onan... the D has a Kohler K341 in it and thats pretty much how I like my D'S so that was easy. He also picked up an engineless 516A that I owed him. Then... he buys my 416H that I swapped a Kohler 16 in place of the Onan. Again I can't stand the controls so out it went... Then... he buys a C125 black hood that's been laying in a heap since the trans axle popped an axle seal and it turned itself into an "I'll get to it project" that was 5 years back... so out it went too. Then his 11 yr old fell in love with my Raider 12 with the super big Craftsman tires and rims... I liked the idea of the kid having it so I sold it too. Its been sitting for years... Then, his kid sees my Commando 8... father says how much and I let that go... again been sitting for "someday" His trailer was packed with 6 tractors, some odds and ends. A yard cart, a Honda 13 hp horizontal a plow and some stuff Im sure I've forgotten. To round out my day my 1998 314-8 went to Bethlehem CT with (2) 37" decks, a 48" plow, Craftsman weights and a good used set of 2 link chains.The OHV motor doesnt impress me so... GONE Not bad.... I cleaned up a bunch of stuff, have a pocket full of cash and a cool Wheel Horse D160 "Sherman Tank" Here's some pics of the D and my C160 that did all the lugging and dragging today. Hope everyone is well! Tony 20201114_115436.mp4 6 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #2 Posted November 15, 2020 Glad it all worked out, and good to know those 6 went to a good home. Great to see young blood interested in the hobby and WH's. I love my Commando 8, I'm sure they will too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 12,250 #3 Posted November 15, 2020 I have two 68 Commando 8s, and I just can't see myself letting either one of them go. They are such a great little tractor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
