WHGuy413 2,691 #1 Posted December 4, 2022 Well the boys scored 5 tractors today (technically 6 but I have laid claim to the round hood haha). Alex had me put an ad on Craigslist a while back and I had totally forgotten about it. A gentleman emailed me and offered 5 tractors plus all the accessories to them. His brother recently passed away and had them and he had no interest in them. So after pictures were exchanged and some texts we settled on a price. When I mean gentleman I mean it. Very nice man who even offered to give them up to 2 months to come up with the money for the tractors. The boys sold a few things that they had hanging around and then I chipped in a little bit.l but they had the money in less than a month. It’s amazing how hard work pays off and they are realizing that. We decided on getting them before snow. After some more texts the gentleman said he had found more wheel horse stuff and another tractor that he was including in the existing asking price. So today we went down and snagged them. The tractors they got were a B-60, B-80 4speed, C-121 and 2 that we are unsure of. Alex wants the B series tractors and C-121. Aiden wants the other 2 that we still don’t know what they are. The grey one has us all intrigued. Someone did a fairly decent paint job on everything. The decal really isn’t a decal but a hand painted look alike. It’s even matched on the plow frame. Plus they actually scored 2 more decks, 4 total plows, a dump cart that we believe may be wheel horse but are unsure. A banner that they are holding in the picture. A repop sign and a bunch of miscellaneous parts. He even said if he found more he would deliver them to us. Im pretty intrigued with the round hood with a tow truck attachment made from a old plow frame. Engines stuck on this one. I laid claim to it but I’m sure one of the boys will end up with it at some point. I’ve got some pretty happy boys right now and it’s very nice to see their hard work pay off and them able to purchase what they wanted. 6 10 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,557 #6 Posted December 4, 2022 What an AWESOME find! That B60 would be a good worker if it runs. Sips gas. If not that tractor is a prime candidate for a repower. Long frame. 8 speed. The gray one is certainly intriguing. Looks like a 68 or 9. Little Barefoot pedal out front there sticking out. Love the hood ornament. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the hood ornament. The b-60 spins over. Hoping it will run. The gray one does have a barefoot pedal. That’s on the cap for the oil drain lol. One of the others has a Tasmanian devil cup holder on it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,318 #10 Posted December 4, 2022 Great haul!! My guess on the gray one…it’s a Charger 10/12 auto from the late 60’s 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the grey one there is an 8ball on the parking break lever. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All 3 or 4 pedals came in sets. The one here is for a floor dimmer switch cap. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHGuy413 2,691 #15 Posted December 5, 2022 Just looked up the engine serial and spec numbers on the round hood since the id tag is missing on the tractor. Looks to be a 854 to me 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
