Geno 1,929 #1 Posted November 13, 2014 I'm trying to stop, really I am, haven't bought anything in like almost 3 weeks except the C175 a few days ago. Guy calls me Tuesday evening and has 3, a 953 that runs with a deck, a C105 that ran this past Spring with a deck, and a 653 with the motor off and no hood, and an extra deck. He says he also has quite a few parts in with the deal which was very good but I was really trying not to buy more. Well Sandra says she wants the 653 so I call back and as him what the least is he will take. He comes back really good and says he'll throw in 4 extra engines, every part he has, some extra tires + wheels, and a Wheel Horse Radio that his uncle bought new, and it works... What would you do. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boovuc 1,090 #7 Posted November 14, 2014 Nice, Geno! Those motors if they are K series are worth getting your hands on! I am curious though. I know that our modern tractors use resistor plugs but on a battery ignition, how does that radio sound on anything but a very close AM station? As an old AM disk Jockey, (radio personality as we liked to say), I remember the old cons of Amplitude Modulation. Signal drops on iron bridges, buzzing on almost every single transformer you pass, buzzing when you had a crack on your distributor cap, buzzing with bad damp plug wires, CB radios with guys using linear amplifiers breaking into your favorite Deep Purple song, etc etc. How about it Gumshoes? Geno? Ever have them hooked up while mowing? And yes I'm showing my age a bit! Hope this doesn't hijack your thread! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinW.73 224 #11 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I'm trying to stop, really I am Sure keep telling yourself that. Me and everyone else will agree that you aren't going to stop until you own every single wheel horse tractor, attachment, and all the way down to all the wh nuts and bolts. Of course, you won't get every wh. I will never let mine go. Its either going a friend, if i have a son than him, or its going in my grave (not really) lol. On a second thought, I could use it as a headstone.

It does still have the resistor under it on the right bracket (1st pic). I would think if I can keep the power wire away from the coil and charging wires hopefully it won't pick up much emitting noise. Surely designed it for these tractors and took noise into account, I hope. How long have you had the addiction?

Firpo701 407 #24 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Awesome score Geno! A 953 even!!! Yayyyy! Lol! If you end up getting locked in the shop, can I come too? Haha!!! ....p.s...you didn't pick those up in Inez Ky did ya? ...upon further review....you did!!!! That's the guy I bought my rear ags from and the deck I restored for the 701. My Mrs wanted that 653 also. What gave it away was the cut off belt guard, cigarette lighter over the choke, and coil springs under the seat!
