Brian1045 28 #30 Posted May 5, 2009 Can you imagine what these would go for at the Big Wheel Horse show in PA. I'd hate to see what kinda money they would bring. Or even ebay. You'd be shocked I'm sure! I know a $900 wheel Horse (counting deck) in the mid 60's is about the same as a $4000-$5000 tractor set up today. I'm sick with jealousy~ :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bow_Extreme 544 #32 Posted May 6, 2009 I had a gentleman today tell me that he knows of some people that would pay upwards of $100,000.00 for all seven of these tractors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevinator 1 #34 Posted May 6, 2009 Beautiful tractors,how or why would they still be in the crates? Collector or investor had them? I can't believe he never sold them or got them out in all these years. :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg Parnell 6 #43 Posted May 8, 2009 GREAT FIND RICK!!! I'd probably put one of those in the living room to sit on as I watched TV!!! Are you planning to use them or keep them in new condition? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lt230s 14 #44 Posted May 8, 2009 Man, what a find!!! I probably would have peed my pants if I found something like that. Glad to see they went to someone who appreciates good machines!!! :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scifi4all 6 #45 Posted May 8, 2009 Congratulations on such Beautiful machines! Just a suggestion, but perhaps you can take individual photos (or several photos) of each of these tractors, to be entered into the Photos Gallery as perfect examples of completely original tractors. These would be great for reference. Just my humble opinion. I am jealous! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
