Hi All, I’m a member of the RedSquare Facebook group, some of you may have seen My tractor there. I have a 1992 312-8 with a 37 inch deck. It came with a house my brother bought, and was given to me. It needed work but just minor things. I mow my lawn with it, and I just bought a plow to push snow/dirt so it’s a working restoration. It was relatively well taken care of by the previous owners so it really just needed a refresh. Anyway see you around the site!

@MainelyWheelhorse welcome to the site ,  you are on the way to solid function !  just a suggestion , would be looking for a  36 " RD , DECK OR A 42 " DECK , side or rear . that 37 is a well known problem , deck rot and cracking is very common . nothing sarcastic about this reference . these decks quickly / easily swap out , and are pretty easy to rebuild . let us know how you are doing , someone will chime in with view / ideas , pete

If you ever have any questions don’t be afraid to ask. You should probably get another wheel horse so you can have one with a plow and one with a mower.:lol:

Definitely, After changing it over a few times, the attach o mastic helps but it’s still a chore.

Good to know, the guy I bought the plow from had a bunch of decks for sale too. I’ll let the wallet cool, after the last purchase. I have access to a welder, so I can keep it going for now.

You feel free to reach out. Any issues you have on a Wheelhorse nowadays, one of us has almost definitely dealt with it at some point.

 

As far as parts go, kind of the same basic thing. Many of us have certain places we buy certain things. I keep a stock of some stuff down here and if I don't have what you're looking for, one of the vendors or other folks on this site likely will.

@MainelyWheelhorse ,

:text-welcomeconfetti: to  :rs: !!!!

 

Great to have you on the forum…;-)

 

A word of caution with that @ebinmaine guy…

 

If you ever acquire a C-160, keep a close watch on it !

He seems to have a knack for rounding those steeds up…

May be rustling them…:ph34r:

 

Just kidding, Eric is a great guy !

I had a bunch of parts lying around from other builds I've done and decided to pull out the frame and hood from the last 704 I built and start putting together my tricycle gear tractor.

      I finally took the plunge!
      By Thatoneguy
      I finally decided to restore my grandpa's 1974 C-120 with the original HH120 motor on it.   
       
      It will be a big project and i look forward to getting it completed for everyone to see! 
       
      I would like to hear anyone's criticism or advice as i have never done a project this big especially engine work on this level! 
       
      Happy 4th to everyone out there!  
       
      BTW he (my grandpa) is waving at everyone in the picture!
