Rob J. 1,942 #1 Posted April 25, 2023 A little while back I came home with a trailer full of stuff. Some of that stuff happened to be a C-81 I got from @tigwelder, thanks by the way, it’s been put to good use. I hadn’t had a chance to mess with it and it sat in my garage. Along comes my neighbor friend. Real good guy named Jeff. He’s an old tinkerer from way back. He always messed with non-WH tractors prior. He had a small fleet of MW’s, Sears he was always tinkering on and through attrition they were pretty much used up and was in need of a tractor. Bing, an idea came into me head. I tells my friend hey I bet I have enough parts in my garage to make you a WH. How about I give you a tractor only catch is you’ll have to put it mostly together. Deal! So we did. Let me tell you guys, the sh*t eatin grin on his face tells it all. He couldn’t be happier. Now he’s gonna redo his hasty paint job and do it right and then buy a sticker kit. He bought a really nice set of wheels and tires for $50. He also bought a fuel pump. So he has about $70 in it. It’s bigger and stronger than any of those others he’s monkeyed with over the years. I was just happy to see it back and the smile on his face. It was worth every dime. 7 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He ain’t got time for that. 😂 he’s gonna mainly use it to pull his trailers around, yard roller, driveway drag. But he is talking about getting a snow blower for it so we’ll see. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also wouldn’t rule out adding a mower deck, plow and a hitch.😉😜 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANTPER 207 #9 Posted April 27, 2023 The old school classic look. Looks great. I grew around the 300s mostly but those C bodies are really catching my eye lately. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
