[mhlmeader 689]

Hi folks, me and the gal pal were on our way to the wheelhorse motherland ( southbend), to shop for some wedding rings.  So we go down little country road see a barn sale, turned around cause I spy a wheelhorse.  I ask how much , he said 400$, but someone was suppose to be picking it up.  Turns out it came with a sickle bar too. My ears kinda perked up then , cause my dad wants on for his 702.  They call the other fella,  he passed on it, I offered 300$, we settled at 350$. Tractor runs pretty good,  lil smoke when ya goose it, but runs and cuts pretty good.  I'm hoping the sickle bar will fit my dad's 702, it's a 50 inch bar.  Anywho, here's some pics a serial numbers if anyone has some additional info, or point me in the right direction,  would be appreciated,  thanks!!!

Super excellent find, man!

 

Love those little 8 horse Kohlers.

 

I don't have a way to decode the model number any better than you do but it's a 1974 or 1975.

Nice! Did you have any$$$ left over for rings? Or will she have to wait a month? That's a monster deck on that little 8

Wow!  We’re you dressed in black with a mask when you bought it?  Sickle bars go for $400-$500 by themselves!  I got a nice sickle bar for my 753 at the big show and gave a little over $400 for it.  Just got it installed today and I’m loving it!!!!

That's a great find . My only question is, they don't sell wedding ring in Eau Claire ?

She's a KEEPER.     You do realize that you crossed state lines, so that makes you a horse Rustler
