They are being very quite, I think they have already gave us a wrong direction as to where they came from. I also see a bucket full of duct tape, I think they went North. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well... on October 8th there was an ad placed here on Redsquare. A woman from nearly 3 hours north of me had 3 tractors to sell. She wasn't set on values so the ad said "best offer". I knew that wouldn't last long here without a listed price so I contacted to give advice on approximate worth. At that point I had no intention of purchase due to lack of time and space...... Helen had an idea of the value of the machines and was VERY appreciative of my help narrowing it down a little more. We later learned that she and her husband Sal had been a Wheelhorse dealer in NJ!! After going back and forth by email and phone a few times I began to feel like I should get set up to buy the C160 Automatic. Her general demeanor and the information about the tractor lead me to believe it should be a great runner. A couple messages later she found another C160... 4 , one stop. That's great. .... But a C160 Automatic!! So arrangements were made and yesterday @JCM Jim and I took a drive. The Pretty C160 is a 1975 Automatic. The one still wearing it's work clothes is a 1974 with the Tecumseh engine. OHV 160. I now have FOUR C160s by way of great luck. The 2 Kohler powered tractors are Cinnamon of course and now the new red one. @WHX?? Jim you'd be proud of me for owning a proper colored Horse. The '75 Auto turns over but doesn't start. Near as Helen can remember that one was restored by her husband about 12+ years ago. Jim and I are planning on messing about with it this morning. The Techie powered one I just picked up is a good solid original with decent sheet metal. It appears complete except the clutch/brake/park brake setup is missing... something. That'll need 4 tires to make it mobile and then we go from there. Engine turns. Transmission feels free and ok. It came with a short frame plow that's been PO modified a bit. The 417As are both.... rough. Neither is completely assembled and need good strong cleanings. (They were her primary mowers for quite awhile.) Both have a little wiring loose at the top of the engine. Jim and I aren't positive what's happening with the 417s yet. He'll be getting a good solid later model mowing deck and some other things from this excursion. @OldWorkHorse Steve buddy I've definitely got some space to clear so you'll get some more project material at the very least.... @AHS @WheelhorseBob @Stepney @Chestnut @Oldskool 1 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
