I'm finding Wheel Horses for sale in my area are becoming few and far between. Maybe a trip to Maine would be worthwhile.

RustyGold 88 #33 Posted August 27, 2022 Real nice find ! I’m considering converting my workhorse 700 to a 1045 with different fenders , tunnel & seat Only thing stopping me is that mine is pretty rare model too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothin wrong with getting another tractor or even putting together a pieces parts one. Good many of us have done that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha ha Well you could always say it’s a litmus test on how much she loves you. Then tell her she could buy a few too and we (you two) can enjoy them together. 😜😉 I try not to involve my wife on such decisions. The less she know the better for all of us. She’s not stupid but not worth the battle to her. Bills are paid. Kid’s taken care of and she makes more than me so that might have a little to do with her understanding of the situation too. 😂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Trina's really a VERY unusual personality for a female girl woman. It's legitimately possible she likes workin' with tractors more than me. She owns 3 of her own. She's done 3 full restorations too.
