Anyone think it's worth a punt?

Not familiar with how your pricing structure or model numbers run over there. I know they differ a little bit. Over here that would be a 1965 or 1966 model year.

 

If you can get it for a reasonable price and account for the repainting of it that would be a great little rig.

That would be what I call a Commando 6.  I call mine Jane.  Jane rocks!  For being such a light tractor, Jane tugs hard and don’t give up!  Jane is a Tecky powered machine... but with a Kohler (carter) carb.

There was a green one with a yellow deck on market place the other month - that colour just looks wrong.

  Over in the UK weren’t Wheel Horses re-branded as Mountford (or something like that)? Did that company specify that they were to be painted green?

Looks like it was red under the lawnmower green paint job.

My C-125 is badged as a Mountfield and was originally red. 

It's up to just over 200 pounds so that's around the price I imagined .

May try to bid on it as the little brother or sister for Fred.

I think that could be a nice little tractor if it got a new paint job.

The numbers clearly make it a WH .. but what about a Norlett?
They were a green WH.

I think they were a lighter green. I knew it started with Nor just couldn't remember the rest.

What year is your C-125? I'm pretty sure both mine are 1980 and only WH badging.

Just found the little green one on Market Place, seems to be the same one as listed above and he has an asking price of £700 for it.

I think my dads Norlett confuses folk... :D .   it was green when we got it in 2009

Norlett were gold or red. The only small frame they did were A-90 specials - badged Commander or T8-36

That = around 244 USD not the worse if it runs & drives I guess...

so that is about $853 … it better be able to do the dishes & laundry for that. 

I'll never forget my rookie year at the BS there was a green and yellow one. I pointed out to one of the staff that I thought other brands weren't allowed... he told me to take another look and sure enough.... :crying-yellow:
