rmaynard 15,780 #1 Posted July 8, 2013 I have been in contact with someone who has this REO RR-47 that they are interested finding the value. It is all original, and has been garage kept since new. It needs a carburetor (or so the owner thinks). Any thoughts on the value? Owner is thinking of selling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,410 #9 Posted July 8, 2013 http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/1214-tractor-1967-rr-47-reo-rer-om-ipl-329s/ Are they Techy powered, with fiberglass bodies? Tecumseh power, stamped metal tub. I think value on one of those is truly dependent on how badly someone wants one in their collection and how long they're willing to look. I gave $50 for mine which is the next model after that... the R-26..... and that was totally on a whim. The guy caught me on a good day (for him) I guess. It's just a novelty as far as Wheel Horse collecting goes. They're just the assimilated REO riders with a Wheel Horse name on them. It got put into my brother-in-law's four wheeled wagon and it's never come out that I know of! I'd love to add one of those slightly older RR or RE models to the collection... but I wouldn't give more than that same $50. And that's only because they look just a little more like a go-cart!

rmaynard 15,780 #10 Posted July 12, 2013 Just an update. The owner has placed the REO on eBay with a starting price of $600.00. I wished her good luck. You can find the eBay auction by searching "vintage REO Wheel Horse". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
608KEB 796 #11 Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks for the pictures. It brought back some memories. I mowed lawns while in high school and the first riding mower I purchased was a Reo! It had a black and white seat, steering wheel, 2 speed high, low, plus reverse. I think it had a 6 h.p. techy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #12 Posted July 12, 2013 WheelHorse + REO = < $600 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,364 #13 Posted July 12, 2013 I have $100 betting she does not get $600 for it! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,569 #14 Posted July 12, 2013 My Dad used to have one of the eos with a steering wheel and lawn ranger style seat.. It was as rusty as you can imagine and motor barely pulled over. He sold it for $20 bucks just because we didn't want to look at it anymore! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
