76c12091520h 3,623 #1 Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Six hours and 400 miles later ( round trip ). Need to give a shout out to Wheel horse Will for putting me on to this. One of my larger finds so far. All NOS , 90% Wheel Horse, 10% Kohler , lots of great stuff. Came from a closed dealership that was in business between 1975 and the early 2000's. Gonna be awhile till I get thru it all. I'm going to bed now...... Edited October 15, 2021 by 76c12091520h 7 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,759 #2 Posted October 15, 2021 Nice find. Most of my tractor finds fit that 400+ mileTexas Sunday drive. Mostly North of Dallas and NE Texas piney woods 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 2,068 #6 Posted October 15, 2021 I question if these parts were handled properly during transport. Several of those boxes are clearly labeled "keep frozen" and that doesn't appear to be a reefer truck. Are you sure those pullies didn't spoil on the way back? 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Brown, used to be a vendor on here "Daves Tractor World", and on eBay as Wheelhorseplethora, was at the last Big Show and told me that he had just bought out several more dealerships. It's there if you know where to look for it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They should be okay for what was a 200 mile ride back. I wouldn't want to push much further. On the plus side, the parts appear to be mostly red or black and not green which would indicate a tractor brand cross contamination issue. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #10 Posted October 15, 2021 Not only do you have parts, but it looks like you have a decent amount of advertising / signage. Can't wait to see those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the 5th one I've bought out in the last 2-3 yrs, looks to be the nicest one yet; everything is tagged and marked (no guess work) , also the most expensive....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They won’t open it or sell it lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually need to get out there and see what he has for engines. I'm needing a geared starter version of a 319 Briggs.
