AMC RULES 37,130 #127 Posted October 3, 2020 There's a whole new dibs tractor here in this little, 30+ Horse New York town. This Senior was recently rescued from the state of Georgia and is currently believed to be of the '54-'55 vintage. 2 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,882 #128 Posted October 4, 2020 So cool Craig! I’m bummed it didn’t work out to get it here, but couldn’t have missed out on it to a better person! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,882 #129 Posted October 27, 2020 Well, though I missed the one that Craig has, Mrs. P has landed herself unknowing into the Ride Away Senior Club! As mentioned, I can’t thank my buddy Matt @Bow_Extreme enough for his grunt work (both via phone calls and physically) to get this piece of Wheel Horse history into a Michigander’s possession! The P.O. did not plan to sell me this, but a non-hooded model, even though we were unaware of the mixup until after our arrival. It took a lot of persuasion to convince Ollie that this one needed to come home with us! It’s a 1976-ish South Bend dealer restore, hence the not so correct wheel color and hood decals, but Mrs. P loves it the way it is! I look forward to the day I hear it fire for the first time in a long time! 11 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big-Game 91 #144 Posted February 22, 2021 Hello I want to say there are approx. 75 Seniors on the Registry. I say approx. because it takes time to confirm if the seller was already on the list, sometimes more then once ! Which tractor was sold and the name of the new owner, City, State, Engine Serial number, ETC. 2020 has had the most Seniors found and sold in the last few years. Mrs. P's tractor serial number 2275866 is just one away from 2275867 located in PA !! Congratulations !! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,882 #148 Posted June 1, 2021 @Big-Game I’d like to report a lever steer moving from North Indiana to Michigan today. It’ll be hard to put an actual date on it as the Wisconsin engine on it is not the original, but I was told it is thought to have been the last ‘47 built before they began Senior production. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
