Geno 1,929 #1 Posted July 15, 2014 I've been reading here for several months and I am very impressed with the people, knowledge and machines on here. What made me a fan is my dad. I have a Wheel Horse 414-8 he bought new and when he bought his next one 7 years later I bought the 414. That was 20 years ago, she turned 27 this year and still looks as good as the day she was bought. I am in central Ky and had the need for some snow equipment so I started searching Craigslist. About 5 weeks ago it was off to near Dayton. I bought a C145 with a cab and snow blower and thought I was good. It was sure gonna be nice to blow the snow in a nice warm cab. Then about 3 weeks ago it was off to near Dayton again. I found a 310-8 with a tiller, blower and 48" blade. I thought another tractor with a blade would be nice also and I could sell the tiller + blower. Then I must have woke up with some kind of Wheel Horse fever or something. Week before last I found 9 more tractors with 4 extra hydros, 5 decks, 2 snow blades, another tiller, another snow blower, part of a trac vac, and more extra parts than I have ever seen. It took both of my trucks and trailers to haul it all (pics below are when we returned). Last Tuesday I also bought another plow and several plow mounts along with 150 original wheel horse belts, some clutches and other things. Last Friday we went to Indy and bought 2 more plows, another snow blower, some tire chains, a mule drive and some other parts from 2 different people. What did I do next? Put up a wanted ad on Craigslist for more Wheel Horse stuff. Somebody help me please! After buying so much stuff I knew I would need some help from people smarter than me on some of this stuff. So here I am and thankful this place is here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
