Jeff-C175 7,206 #1 Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I could drive it home from where it sits... less than a quarter mile away. He wants me to make him an offer. I need all y'alls help on what it's worth. No mower deck, just the plow. Says that he has new decals for it and was planning on a restoration but if I made him an offer he couldn't refuse... Got them big ole WH wheel weights too! Dig that plywood seat mount! Runs and drives pretty well. Smokes a little (gray/white) on startup but goes away quickly. No knockin' heard... Sorry about the shake on this one, it was a little chilly and I was shibberin'. Edited February 17, 2022 by Jeff-C175 5 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy11 5,718 #2 Posted February 17, 2022 That seat is probably over 100$ alone. Wheel weights come with it... that probably adds 100$ Then the blade... 75-100$ (minimum)... Tractor... I'd give 200... maybe a bit more since the tires are in good shape. Total... I'd give 350-400... But that's just me... I like it... buy it as soon as possible.

I wondered about that actually... seller said that's what they were on these older machines... but I didn't think so and wasn't about to dicker. I'm not inclined to go as high as 350-400 though. That's what I paid for my 125 and it's in MUCH better condition than this one and came with a mower deck. But yeah, the wheel weights... I really want those. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really want those Well, you know those tires are REALLY expensive and to find some in good shape... is a really good bargain for the money. Not to mention the weights! Gosh, for 350$ EVEN 400$... you are getting a STEAL... Plus the plywood... I mean... how could you go wrong...? Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they wince or throw things at you it may have been too low. A realistic price is whatever you can sell the individual parts for. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 10,762 #16 Posted February 17, 2022 See if the plow has a model/serial number on the frame, maybe by the angle change handle Is that blade possible for the WH lighter duty machines. Certainly not a heavy duty plow 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,114 #17 Posted February 17, 2022 That looks like a $150 tractor to me. Maybe $200 if it has a proper wheel horse axle bracket and a sleeve or clevis hitch. That cobbled togethed plow blade and frame is not wheel Horse. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 18,195 #20 Posted February 17, 2022 Yes, WH sold badged plastic wheel weights. Cast wheel weights are the more desired type. NOS plastic weights might have a decent value though Too bad he "cleaned" it up with spay can. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AHS 1,549 #21 Posted February 17, 2022 9 hours ago, Jeff-C175 said: I'm gonna offer 200. Hope I don't insult him! Ya, I would say $200 -300. It looks like that plow is welded onto a Wheelhorse frame. And the seat… while it’s a beautiful seat… I’d delete the piece of plywood off that Wheelhorse. Check the gear oil under the seat and see if it’s got any water in it? If there’s water in it, theres $50.00 savings right there! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midpack 1,011 #22 Posted February 17, 2022 See, I have a different perspective than some of you guys. When someone tells me to make an offer, I'm inclined to pitch a number so low I don't have to lie to SWMBO when I tell her what I paid! I'd tell him I'll get it out of your yard for $50 and see where it goes from there 😉 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he declines, wait it out for awhile and see if he comes down. I see a lot of prices reduced after still not selling after a few weeks. It’s not personal , it’s business. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking that I'm gonna pass... Those weights are just basic cement and plastic. they were mass made by many companies. i have a set on my WH that say craftsman on them, other than that they are identical to the WH weights my grandpa has on his C160 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
