What's it worth? 1982 C195

[Tractor Lady 36]

[Jeff-C175 7,198]

A lot.

 

How many hours on the ticker?

 

Are you a buyer, or a seller?

Not sure what it is worth, but I sure would like to have it.

I think it's right around 500. It was a demo model. I'm a seller. There should be a pic of the odometer

Being a 1982 model, it probably has the less desireable Series I KT19 engine, which tended towards oiling problems.  That could drop the price some.

 

Are you buying or selling?

If you are buying, how do you plan to use this tractor?  If you are going to work it hard on non level ground, a Series I KT 19 engine could give you some problems.  If you are going to use it on level ground or just putt around shows, it should be fine.  My C-195 shows 1200 hours and still has the original Series I engine.  It runs OK, but is smoking, which I suspect is a cylinder/ring issue.

 

In the end it is worth the agreed upon selling price between the seller and the buyer.

 

New looking 48" deck, excellent condition single stage snow blower, tractor looks to be in excellent condition, and let's not forget that Wheel Horse only made about 1200 of these.  On the other hand, this tractor has lots of unique parts only used on those 1200 tractors, so the sparse supply is nowhere near as deep as other Wheel Horses.  I definitely know that the PTO assembly (including the PTO brake) and front wheels are unique.

 

As a package, maybe in the $2,000 to possibly $3,000 range?

Post some pictures of the ID tags on the engine. The engine serial number will help determine if it is a Kohler Series 1 or II

Didn't see the hour meter in the pics.

 

500 hours is low.

 

With the deck and blower I'd price it at let's say $2000 as a starting point.

 

I don't think I'd go much below $1700 rock bottom.

 

I'd be a buyer if it was closer.

Ah yes....the beard of knowledge! Unfortunately he doesn't give values.....

Awesome looking tractor! GLWS.

[gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,690]

Notice the build date on the snowthrower ID decal of this 1983 model?

Julian build date 2884 - 884th day of 1982

Suspect this should be 2284 1982 October 11 Monday

Is that Rick in a disguise? Sometimes I wonder.

 

I've been in that place and they did offer to sell me a large order of silver......good price included free shipping home. I passed and was a mistake.  

 

Nice machine could not have been used much.

@Tractor Lady

KT19 engines with a spec number 49199 or lower are Series 1, 49200 and higher are Series II

So your tractors engine is a Series I

The Series 1 are good engines as long as the oil has been kept full and they are not run on ground with greater that a 30 deg slope.

That’s a very nice tractor!  The 500 hours must have been super light!  Here’s another “what’s it worth?” Thread going on.  Your C-195 is much more valuable if you ask me.

Flatlander here.  AR about oil changes.

 

Mine has LOTS of hours on it and still going strong, knock wood!

I would be intested in buying it

How hard to find 3 point for it how much do 3 point go for

They are out there, but they are hen's teeth.  Not cheap when they show up, either - maybe in the $500 range.  Working from memory here, as I am not really in the market for one, and it has been a while since I saw one for sale.

 

The Wheel Horse 3 point hitch is a category 0 hitch.

New looking 48" deck,

 

That don't look like any 48" I've ever seen.  Two YUGE blades, one baby blade.  Is that a 60" perhaps?  Never seen a 60...

I do believe you’re correct that it’s a 60” and C-195 only.
