Searching for RI Sold D200

Recommended Posts

Taking a shot in the dark here as a first time poster. I am trying to figure out what might of happened to my fathers D200 that he sold around 2013 or so in Coventry, Rhode Island. We had it as the family workhorse from 2000 or so, previously it spent its life as the grounds tractor for a small mill doing mowing and snow removal. We had the snow blower, mower deck that I think we tried out once or twice and a home made plow blade. I recall when we he won it through a work auction (for like 1200 bucks) it was in decent shape with turf tires and plastic wheel weights. By the time we got done restoring it over the course of a few years we had Ag tires and added a 3-Point hitch weight block. It was a great father / son project I'd love to find out where it went to. Sadly when they sold their house they didn't have the space for it, and I wasn't able to obtain it due to being in a rental.

 

I fondly recall the D200 cutting trails in on our property, blowing snow like it wasn't even there and pulling stumps. We tried for a few years sourcing the cultivator but could never find one that was local. Even as a kid the capability of the D200 blew my mind. The lack of power steering made it difficult to maneuver with the blower on but otherwise it was a stellar machine.

 

I know Rhode Island is a small state and the Wheel Horse community is pretty tight knit. I'd like to think this tractor may have wound up in the hands of someone who frequents this forum.

:text-welcomeconfetti: I live in West Warwick - Can't say I've heard of one. Best of luck finding it. Tractors like that are special - we still have Dad's 702 here....

As awesome as this forum is, there are numerous FB pages as well that might be worth snooping around on.  I’ve never been on them, so I can’t even begin to tell you how they go…

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I figured my next best option might be some Facebook groups. He wasn't a Facebook fan so I know it had to have gone on Craigslist. Onward with the hunt! While I know its a pretty slim chance of finding it I am keeping my eyes peeled around the New England area for any D200 that I might be able to use on my own property. The little JD E130 I bought ain't cutting the mustard any longer.
