I really liked the Suburban that @Buzz has in his yard and it has been on my list of things to do for awhile now. Had a tree taken down and the stump ground up but I still had a hump in my front yard. Built a small stone wall in a circle where the hump was and installed an RJ! Still needs some tweaking but it definitely has the “look” I wanted. Came without a motor but my neighbor @Docwheelhorse had a rusty little Briggs that he donated to the project that just looks perfect on it. First pic is Buzz’s setup that was my inspiration.

Pics of my 1967 Case 195 resto.

Looks good.You put a lot more work and effort than I put in.Mine is just a 1054 parked near my chicken coop with a potted plant on top.Show-off.Haha.

Thanks for the good word, Eric. I appreciate it. I have attached some pics to help all of you answer my questions and, at the risk of being banned from the forum on my first day, I included a pic of a Case 195 that I myself restored... thought I'd brag a bit...just erase it from your minds and act like I never sent it. Regards, DoctorP

Come on Al Gore! Where are you when we need you? Warm this place up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my B-140 I built and definitely is my favorite worker!

I cant stop laughing cause all your yard art tractors look to be in better condition then my tractors!

We could blame it on the Covid. lockdown......not enough gasoline being burned to keep Mother Earth warm.

I think climate change is just nature. Goes round in cycles. Go back in history a couple of hundred years or so. River Thames in the UK froze over in 1963. 1683-84, 1716, 1739-40, 1789 and 1814 the ice was that thick they had fairs on it.

No worries on the vocabulary. For a great many of us English is our first language and we mess it up all the time.

@Sparky and @JCM I didn't give Trina enough information about taking the picture above. She did not know that this was going to be a post about flower gardens. Jim in particular, you would know how she is... so she had to go put a flower in the garden and take another picture so it looks like a flower garden..... I give you, adjusted picture.

Remember that being in the elements, you’re going to want to change the engine and transmission oil more often than not! Looks great!

It works!

Hi. Great website. looking for a well maintained WH to begin with. I am looking at c-models and 500 series at the moment. (Ps: appologies in advance for vocabulary faults in this massage or in future ones )

So i dont know if anyone here has heard of Iracing.com before. Its an internet racing simulation that is backed by man nascar drivers and has been televised the last few weeks. This weekend they are doing their final race at the track called north wilksboro that they have not raced at since 1996. The track is abandoned and they recreated recently. The reason i bring this up is Dale Earnhardt Jr posted a 15 min video on recreating it and they were showing quick clips of it and then i spotted a billboard that was pretty cool! So thought id share it Also here is the video to better explain if anyone is interested.

Woke up this morning to low 30's and snow showers... Conformed that it is indeed May 8th... Ah, Michigan in the Spring (summer, fall, winter)... Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam, circumspice...

My latest piece of yard art, lol

I could park a tractor in my front yard and sit on it and folks would stop and marvel at a piece of yard art that doesn't move too much! Love the RJ

I may be getting some 3 point envy!

Rylee helped for a bit. She struggles with control of the MIG gun by herself, but Walker was very encouraging to her as well! He’s so excited to tell his friends that he welded his own hitch!

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-147.761&lat=64.837#.XrWcbDMpBow 68°-73°-79° are the Fri-Sat-Sun temps in Fairbanks Alaska. Kinda sounds like the climate is AFU to me!

to the Looks like the boys have your questions covered. The C-120 Hydro w/ HH120 Tecumseh was my first Wheel Horse. It ran perfect when I bought it 25+ years ago and still runs perfect today never needing anything. I have probably had 50+ WH tractors since then, but the C-120 is still in the barn.

Solved my 11/16 dia. hole with a 1/2" chuck issue with a phone call to a friend with a machine shop. I'll owe him lunch if the restaurants ever re-open. We will be at our summer place next week (where the horse is), so I should be able to get the hitch at least tacked together and on the horse for a trial fit. Pull start - I tried your method of a sawzall and bi-metal balde to cut a couple of pieces. Must be an acquired skill. It cut ok, but I couldn't make an accurate cut. Looks like I'll go back to my angle grinder with a suicide wheel for the rest of the project. Yes, yes, yes - pictures as things progress. Looks like I'll even have to finally become a supporter.

Hello. I am new to Wheelhorse and new to this forum. I just purchased a completely restored C-120 from Wheel Horse Stables in Harrodsburg, Ky. which is about an hour southwest from my home. This is my first Wheelhorse tractor. I am 70 years old and newly retired after 30 years in pastoral ministry followed by 17 years as a college professor. My wife and I live on a 1 acre lot on the edge of a small town and I bought the Wheel Horse to keep up the yard and do other jobs around the place. My first questions on this forum are: 1. How can I determine the year of production for my Wheelhorse? 2. Where is the best place to find an Operators Manual for this tractor? 3. What does a first time Wheelhorse owner need to know about the C-120 from the git-go? Thank you for your time and I look forward to interacting on this forum in the future. Regards, Alan David Profitt (DoctorP)

Gonna have to post a pic of my fake chickens and the coop if I can find it

@Sparky Your yard addition looks great! Ours is a little older than a Wheelhorse. We went to visit the neighbors up the hill last fall. They live on what was a working farm. There was the piece below set off to one side.... We dragged it home....

Looks great! that's where the amigo tractor ended up. I planted ferns around it

Sanding the candy paint of @WHX24's 702?

I’ve seemed to have lost my help again...

I'll take the Farmers Almanac over Greta. Some Minnesota weather data from the early teens. April Highest Temperature 101 °F (38 °C) April 22, 1980 Hawley Lowest Temperature −22 °F (−30 °C) April 6, 1979 Karlstad May Highest Temperature 112 °F (44 °C) May 31, 1934 Maple Plain Lowest Temperature 4 °F (−16 °C) May 1, 1909 May 2, 1909 Pine River

Kid’s pretty good!

Well, boys...now I've had the lick, I can see that for sure! I must confess, I'm restoring a little 1969 JD model 60 for our youngest grandchild. At 4 years old, it will fit him perfectly. I'm ditching the original Tecumseh and replacing it with a Predator 173cc pull start to keep him from getting on it and turning the key without me around. I hated the Tecumseh anyway and it never would run right...I could not get the governor to work properly. Yep, I guess I'm a man of all colors but look at it this way, isn't it sort of good to have a convert to the color red? (I hope so...boys, don't throw me off and whoever stevasaurus is, I'd appreciate the US Army insignia if possible. Thanks jabelman...you've made me 'fess up! DoctorP

The delivery boy came, shiny stuff showed up! Walker is welding his own hitch

In Maine speak it would be "yahd aht"

To El Camino: well, potato chips are a lot less expensive than tractors...us old people have to be careful you know... dp Thankee Coach...I remember way back nobody thanked anybody for serving in the armed forces... it was a messed up time. Stay safe my freind... dp

A wee bit early but what the heck! The RJ (before and after paint removal ) that I bought for my yard art project....

Look what I just managed to buy! This will be the start of the MK2 version to be powered by the wheelhorse Its a PTO unit for a tractor, but it as a lot of the components I need, was very cheap, and the seller is happy to post it to me.

Found these guys today and I am done for now guy put a ad in the paper to find cub and simplicity tractors and these have been out side for some time I’ll do a post on it when I get home

I see that you already found some useful help. I also see that you've met some of the clowns.

Price of gas these days I woulda thought that would have been the opposite.

Thanks to all: To Pullstart: yes it is an 8 - speed but definitely not an automatic, fluid drive, or hydrostatic...it's a "shift it yourself" manual transmission. To Bottjernat: Probably won't be traveling northward but may need to contact you about parts in time to come. To lynnmor: got it! Apprciate the info. How can I determine what year my Wheel Horse was manuractured? Regards to all, DoctorP

Actually the PTO needle bearing is not rotating when the PTO is engaged. The only bearing that is turning is the small thrust bearing that is engaging the PTO and I believe it is a sealed bearing. Are you adjusting the gap on the clutch face or the gap on the clutch brake?

Clean oil is the most important, change engine oil and transmission fluid regularly. Don't store it for long periods of time with untreated gasoline, especially if it contains ethanol. I use Stabil in the gas if it won't be consumed in a month. Many here use ethanol free gasoline, I use it if the tractor won't be in regular use. Check if it is available in your area at https://www.pure-gas.org/

You're in the right place! There is an owner's manual section on the main page. Has pretty much all the info you will need. These are great tractors and a great bunch of people on this site who know pretty much everything there is to know about WH tractors and are willing to help you out... Oh, they will want pictures!!!

I've changed over in the last few years from using the phrase global warming too, climate change. Definitely some pretty screwy stuff going on up here in the mountains of Maine once in awhile. Last weekend it hit 76° in our backyard. tomorrow's forecast at high is around 41 degrees after it snows overnight tonight. Just a little. Ground-covering very won't stick.

Good job Kevin 👍

I do not have the knowledge of many of the others here, but when mine starts doing the same thing you are describing its because the bearings in the pto hub are getting dry for lubrication. You might try pulling the hub and put a thin layer of grease on the bearings, not a lot just a thin film. You don't want so much it gets out on the disk.

My " Library " has a tub a sink and a toilet in it. That room makes me want to light up a cigar and pour myself a glass of bourbon and I dont even smoke or drink. Outstanding

Welcome to the fold!

I kind of have built some of my ultimates... but the ones that bring the most smiles from my ladies are the best! Putt Putt 502, with 8 hp, 8 gears, ‘64 chassis and lately a 10” plow. Frank, Mrs. P’s “1073”
