wh79d160 52 #1 Posted October 8, 2010 :) A guy called me this morning from an auction, (which is tomorrow). He said there is a wheel horse there but he doesn'nt know what it is. The tag # is 62-13368. I looked on the toro site, but can't find that #. Any one have any ideas?? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,632 #2 Posted October 8, 2010 It could be a 502...702...552. The 62 tells you the year, the rest is the serial number. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duff 206 #3 Posted October 9, 2010 I think I've read here in the past that Kansas isn't exactly overrun with tractors? Best be headed for that auction, buck-o! Duff :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gene_S 93 #6 Posted October 9, 2010 It could be a 502...702...552. The 62 tells you the year, the rest is the serial number. Steve my 1054 s/n starts with a 62-XXXX. But more then likely its a 702... Seems like they made a bunch of them... http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?...t=0entry85929 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh79d160 52 #7 Posted October 9, 2010 Just got back from the auction. There was a c-165 that appeard to have a newer engine(grey). It sold for $380.00 but hadn't been started in awhile. w/tiller $50.00, dozer blade $22.50 & all kinds of home made brackets & implements ect. That is the 1st black hood I've seen in person & I must say, imo, those plastic rear fenders ruin that tractor. Of course it was cracked & a faded pink color. The other one was a round hood. The old guy who owned this stuff has been gone for 5yrs . His son said it took him 2 months to find all the scattered parts to put the round hood back together. He didn't think the rear end was original. The belt guard was home made & the front steering/spindles had both been welded on quite a bit. It had a real nice mower deck with it. It all sold for $475.00. All I got was a nice brinly sleeve hitch plow w/coulter for $10.00 & an earthway planter w/hitch adapter for $1.00 I normally don't have good luck @ auctions, but this time it was ok.

KC9KAS 4,741 #8 Posted October 9, 2010 I usually spend all day at an auction, the 1 item I want sells last, and it starts out more that I want to pay! I did get some rear wheel weights and some tire chains at the tractor & steam show today. I will have to do some alterations to both, but for $45.00 for all of it, I can do that!

Horse'n Around 22 #11 Posted October 10, 2010 It sounds like there was some pretty good stuff there. The dozer blade would be nice to have John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh79d160 52 #12 Posted October 10, 2010 The tiller was very greasy underneath between the tines, the small idler pulley was froze, the belt had actually wore into it, & the back side of the top cover looked like some one shot it w/a 12 guage , beat it back together & had a blind guy w/a stick welder weld it up. I was thinking about buying it for Tom Bahner, but he has nice stuff & didn't think he would want it. And the dozer blade. I don't have anything that fits it. Tom B. is the only one around here that does & he has 2. I also should have bought a craftman leaf schredder vac/chipper that was a year old that the old guy, a different old guy, not the dead old guy, only used last fall. It looked new, just a little dusty $24.00,twenty four dollars I don't have any trees, but I'm sure I could have found some one who did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbbahner 27 #13 Posted October 10, 2010 Hey Tom, Glad you didn't go away empty handed. The wife always buys more stuff at auctions than I do. I usually have the same luck as KC9KAS at auctions so I rarely go to them. The round hood might have gone pretty high from your description. The C165, not so bad, but I agree with the plastic fenders, they suck. A $50 tiller is a good price. Not much to them to fix. Thanks for the kind words on my junk. It all starts out rusted and crusted since usually pull them outa the weeds- love the taste of rust being ground off. Thought you would make the break from those big D's.
