bobbyd 11 #1 Posted March 20 Hopefully this is the right place. My grandfather had a pretty extensive collection of wheel horse tractors and I am looking to get rid of them. My main question is are they worth anything beyond scrap value? No real clue about the condition these things are in besides what you can see from the pictures. Pretty sure some of them kinda worked about 10 years ago though. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,333 #2 Posted March 21 Definitely worth more than scrap! Doubt you will find someone to buy it all as one lot. Most likely would need to sell them off individually. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,012 #4 Posted March 21 @Bens vintage tractors Maybe Ben could make a deal for the entire lot or a large part depending upon what's there. Appears your grandfather might have held on to some just a bit too long and didn't store them very well. but there's some value, probably more than scrap in the parts to keep our older machines going. Even at scrap cost, it's better to recycle them back into the WH hobby to be used again rather than end up as chinese junk trinkets. 11 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,321 #7 Posted March 21 We do have a vendor that deals in used Wheel Horse parts and would be likely to make an offer on the whole lot. Give Lincoln a phone call and let him look at the pictures to get some idea of what he could offer. Here is a link with his phone number. https://www.a-ztractor.com/ 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,912 #8 Posted March 21 You stick around here long enough, and maybe we can convince you to get one or two going for yourself! I have found most often they are worth more in my garage than they are in my pocket. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed but still... some must die so others can live. The GT 14 & C-160 look to be saveable. Check out the little red riding black hood Sylvia. @SylvanLakeWH Just makes a guy wonder if some didn't leave the factory red. I forgot to mention when I posted this one awhile back that no evidence of this one being re-painted. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick3478 428 #12 Posted March 21 Definitely worth more than scrap. A lot of work to be done, but a lot of good parts also. Too far away for me to do anything about, but I imagine there are several folks in the New England area who would like to have it by the piece or by the trailer load. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbyd 11 #13 Posted March 21 Thanks for the feedback. Ideally I would like to get rid of them all at once, but they aren't taking up any useful space so its not too big of a deal I will say the ones "inside" are in a bit better condition than what the pictures look like, low light and compression did them no favors. For those interested I am in Walpole, Massachusetts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,667 #14 Posted March 21 Seen a few of the 308's that were all red, the engine could have been changed. Heartd that a Big Box Store sold some Wheel Horses. Could have been that they were all red. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne0 465 #15 Posted March 21 If I had some semi deep pockets, I could jump on the lot, but unfortunately that can't happen.What kind of $ are you looking for? One by one or as a lot? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,465 #16 Posted March 23 Bob there are people here could help you out on this collection of tractors. You can post in for sale section here. But try and get better pictures of the inside ones. Good luck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a 308 that I loved, but the 36" deck wasn't enough for my acreage. Had to either build more garage or trim the herd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-85 685 #25 Posted March 24 Hi Bobbyd, I may have interest in the black hood tractor with the charger and bottle of oil sitting on its hood. I see that it is a hydro, but I have no idea what size the engine is? If you end up selling these singley, please let me know. I'm not that far away, I'm in Vermont. Thanks, C-85 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
