The new-to-me '75 C160 Automatic is back up and running. I messed about with it for awhile this morning.

All tucked away in the stable. Waiting for the next adventure. Near to far, left to right. Trina's 867 Pigpen. My '75 C160 Automatic. Her 657 Pony. Her 856 Military Tribute Tractor, Millie. My '74 C160 8 speed Cinnamon Horse. Feel free to post your own!!

I love this air shroud on a K241 I’ve got. Post up pictures, if you have PO repairs that were so wrong they were right!

I measured a few days ago I have to clear driveway for 1,208 feet. Figure about 12ft wide (to allow for room for next snow fall) and a section in front of the shop about 100 feet that I have to clear about 35 ft wide (to turn truck into shop). That part is a lot of back and forth. So it has been all hydro for me for several years now . No way i am going back. A bit faster forward and much faster reverse. More efficient for the snow blower as I can vary speeds better to keep it full but not choking....

Nice! Here’s mine…

Not beautiful by any means (nor finished), but my work-in-progress "Lady Ranger". Started life as a '62 Lawn Ranger

Since my raider is finally up and running, It's time to show you my pull behind grader blade in action. That has been long overdue. I still need some practice, but it works pretty good. the blade can be angled. It has a lowering limit you can adjust apart from the multiple height positions.

PLanned on fixing the wobbly seat, ended up with this:

I'm knit picking everything before I start it was told it ran 3 years ago. . New rear end seals new fuel line cleaned tank fixing a few minor issues on the way. One question .....the lift leaver only has locked in up.position and down. No settings in between????? My 854 has a knob adjuster that i can set the down position where i choose. Am i missing something or is something frozen up on this modle i need to look at. Thanks in advance.

Here’s a few lineups of ours. The Senior that Uncle Jim’ driving… it’ll come back home to MI some day, he just doesn’t know when

Been there myself…just want to “fix” one thing and before I know it it’s half way disassembled on my garage. But you end up with a better machine in the end as you are finding out.

You "bigger" sure can put a hurt on them things. Imagine how them poor horses feel.

bad fan shroud fix

I sure am!

so far… it rides and looks great! I followed her down the road today, no dog-tracking! we have a Monday appointment for a front end alignment.

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the US, guess you have something to be thankful for too.

Currently working on my C141D. Taking loose one thing resulted in taking off the next thing. and before you know, you are halfway in to a full blown restauration. Here are some things I found apart from bad wheelbearings, leaking seals, etc as I dug deeper in this chassis. Good thing I went over it. Could have lost my clutch and brakes!!

Anyone else ever done this? I have read about it several times, and thought I would try it. This is a 2 stage, self propelled, walk behind snow blower. There is about a 3/8" gap between the paddle and the housing. I added a piece of 3"x3"x1/4" belting to make it a snugger fit. It actually rubs a bit in places, but I figure it will wear itself down pretty quickly. It suppose to dramatically improves performance.

I'm down to just these 3. The 875 and the 1075. The 856 against the fence I haven't tried to get running yet. I also have a Case 224 that I guess dosnt count. The 875 has a plow mounted on it. Got to have some fun in the winter right???

If that runs and drives you should already be RUNNING to go get it.

Hydro's rule!

The whole gang in one shot. Well, all the running members that were in my possession in Sept. any way.

Nope, some 312, didn't came with the dial a height knob

Well… the first “trailer” was a little tykes wagon… circa 2017… sorry no pic… but the first official car of the SL&WHN RR was Christmas 2018… Humble beginnings…

Busy day in the garage doing repairs and maintenance. Front end hood open type of stuff!

Snow is in the forecast so time to mount the plow on the truck. Only the foot it sits in collapsed through the plastic pallet it was on. WH to the rescue!

Making kids happy since... ?2015?

3 flat suburban concrete drives… I have a “zamboni” pattern for each that keeps me going forward a lot of the time… each is about 125’ - 150’ deep and 12’ - 20’ wide… I also clear off the city plow piles from the base of several other drives to help them out… those are full speed single pass jobs…!

I’ll stick with my standards…

Looks Like my twin !!!!!!!

Certainly easier on both me and the tractor. No clutching. No excessive belt wear. I'm hoping this steed will run well and work out for plowing snow.

I'd love power steering on this GT-14(I did paint the weight box Regal Red after this pic ): GT-14

That model has the most modern hydro trans Wheel Horse used. As long as it was taken care of, you’ll be all set! The rear cylinder is known for getting too hot if not services and cleaned out. As long as grass clippings are non-existent around the engine, you’ll likely be good there too.

That's why we use a REAL tractor .... instead of some other brand.

Seems to work very well. The wheels definitely keep the cut consistent! Well done!

The BBT took her trusty steed Pigpen 867 and the trailer out the forest and got a couple loads of firewood. After that she stacked it, and a few other loads. She's been working on getting paint plopped on the parts I need for my front hub conversion as well.

Looking good. The motion control on those hydros is a lot of fun for the quick back and forth, eh?

Dang! here I have 2 NEW ags been listed for couple months on CL with a practically 'give away' $125 price and cant get a nibble..... But, I have to say I am liking the ATV type tires more and more. Picked up two 8 inchers at the scrap yard off a scrapped ATV and I liked them.

Axel broke because some one drilled a hole through the axel and hub and used a roll pin to secure the hub have not pulled it apart as yet so I may just need an axel and some seals. I want to thank all for the replies that I received it's awesome. May E mail some of you for more help. Thanks Barracuda
