C-100

I have never owned this model. So, I saw it did not look too badly beat up. When I got there did not even Idle some carb cleaner runs much better. Choke cable is frozen so using my cable lubber to unfreeze it. Will take time. A good cleaning is in order. Fluids look good. As they say fun is the chase. Have you ever seen these front rims or even tiers? Those rims do not look stock. Hope you enjoy the picks.

Hmmm... Exhaust is a mite close to the inside of the LF tire... possibly not OE rims - wrong offset??

What up with the 2 conduit clamps at the  shift guide plate??

They are stock, just on backwards, valve stems & zerk go on the inside.

Nice find!  Those are good machines.  Seat looks to be in good shape too.  Only thing I’m seeing is it needs the air filter assembly.

I think once I get to run better, I will change out the exhaust. But that is down the road.

Thanks Eric. Looks to be a late spring early summer project. Still working on the Raider. No rush.

I have it. Was working on to get it too idle. Carb all gum up.  Better now.

Thanks Mike. This will be a summer tractor. Just needs some TLC to bring it back.

I do like the seat 

  Have you run the model number to determine the year?

That is the original Nelson by the looks of it, the clamp loosens up over the years & lets it slide down, thus pointing it towards the tire.

Easy fix, loosen clamp & turn the muffler on the nipple towards the PTO side, it will point it away from the wheel.

I've just recently "aimed" a couple of mine.

Not yet Mike. I will take a pick of that today. Thanks.

@Blasterdad Thanks I will do that when I start working on it. I have another tractor I am working on now. Enjoy the ride.

Looks like a great original horse! It'll serve you well!

Thanks Mike. It has a lot of little things it needs to be done to it. Pretty standard for its age and not maintained.

Nice tractor the seat is in exceptional condition. You also have a pair of adjustable tie rods.

You'll like that tractor.

[Retired Wrencher 5,465]

@23 Reo Thanks for the post. According to the add it was stored in a barn all its life by his grandfather. The front shows rust while the back is not. So, I am thinking it was an open-door barn. Will be a good project when I start on it.

[TractorEd 633]

Great find and nice tractor!  I think you have a real beaut there!

@TractorEd Thanks for the reply. This will be a summer project. Tear it apart and clean everything. Was in a pole barn with no door I believe.
