Looking for opinions. What do you think this tractor with mowing deck is worth? One owner always garaged well taken care of.

A running beat up WH with a usable deck is worth $700 all day. Judge accordingly.

Agree with that too but around here folks think that guys crazy for askin that 'cause is just an antique tractor & they don't know what we do. Some yuppie buys it and it breaks he gonna think he just wasted his money when we say yay it broke I get to fix it! :banana-wrench:

They also think that "only 8 HP" that one at home cheapo is 20 and only a thou more. Again they just don't know what we do. 

Older crowd like us go "ya I remember :wh: they were a solid machine...I'll give ya $xxxxx for it".

Is that the origonal paint??     That's one sweet Raider.       Luv the Raider style PTO engagement and a an old school spring loaded mule drive.

 

If I could see a street sign in that piic, I would be there this afternoon with a pocket of cash.

      Small Engine Shop Closing
      By Jayzauto
      Small Engine Shop in Avon Closing. Liquidating all equipment, tools, manuals, engine rebuilding tools, shop equipment, storage, tool boxes… 40 years of twisting wrenches has left me with a pile of tools.  All name brand items, no junk.  Want to sell, don’t NEED to sell.  Prices are very fair.  I’m here full time if you want to stop by and poke around.

      How far will you go?
      By JoeM
      I was reminiscing the other day with a WH friend about some of the trips we have taken to pick up Horses. It made me wonder how far some of us have traveled to buy a Wheel Horse. I am sure I have not went the farthest and would guess I would land in the middle of the road trip pack.
      I picked up a 520 once in Indiana 5 1/2 hours one way. (that is probably my limit!).
      Anybody else?

      This one looks to be of about same size as the other OH Wheel Horse auction I posted about one months ago. Can't believe this one is scheduled the same day as Portland.
