JVDWheelHorse 170 #4 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Based on your description I'd give it a second look. You got any pictures to post? This your first WH? Yes this will be my first wheel horse, I am only 15. Also what do you guys think of the Tecumseh motors in these tractors. Any help appreciated thanks ☺️ Edited August 20, 2015 by WheelHorseKid1843 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,138 #5 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) for $250 you should be all over that like Oprah on a baked ham! Looks like a well kept tractorI believe that's an old HH100 engine. Solid engine, poor carburetors. Buy a brand new carb off ebay and enjoy! Edited August 20, 2015 by wallfish 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmsgaffer 2,046 #12 Posted August 21, 2015 Welcome! That will be an excellent first tractor if you get it.Easy to fix, the 8 speeds (or 6, same transmission different name) are indestructable, and worst case scenario if you have trouble with the Tecumseh you can swap in an easy to find kohler. Though there are MANY people on here than run them for a long time with no trouble.The 10 Hp can do a lot of work and is easy on gas! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TDF5G 2,069 #23 Posted March 21, 2016 If you don't mind me asking, was something wrong with it, or were you too late? I would've jumped on it for that price if she ran good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
