rickv1957 72 #1 Posted September 23, 2009 A guy called me a couple of months ago and asked me if I collected Wheelhorses and said he had one setting in the back of his garage that had not been used for years. Upon arrival I found it covered up with everything from tarps to hoses, kind of a storage shelf. After getting it out in the open, installing a battery and gas, it fired right up and runs great. Front blade and seat look new, also came with a new set of rear chains. This morning I gave it a good cleaning and here is what I ended up with. Oh yeah, $150 cost.
