Easton Rich 256 #1 Posted September 27 Alright, I finally bought one without asking you guys 27 million questions. It’s a b80 8 speed for 350 dollars.

Lee1977 6,659 #8 Posted September 27 (edited) The B-80 is a great tractor same basic tractor as the C-series. The C's just have a larger engine, high back seat, and lights, Don't think the B had lights unless it was a special order. The B-80 8 speeds were only made in 1976 and 1977. The model numbers start wit either a 61 or 71. Edited September 27 by Lee1977 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 11,076 #10 Posted September 27 The 76 and 77 B-series was really quite a bargain. As mentioned they are identical to the C-series as far as the frame, transmission, and sheetmetal. The differences: Horsepower B's had 22-7.50 rear tires vs 23-8.5 on the C's. If you opted for the cleat rears they were all 23-8.50 Low back seat vs high back Headlights optional on the B's 13" steering wheel vs 15" Prior to 76 the B's had a shorter frame and were 4-speeds with the 1" axle Starting in 78 the B's became lawn tractors 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,815 #14 Posted September 27 Congrats on picking up a fine tractor! I had a '73 no name that was the start of the B series and a fine fine little tractor. I called it Aunt B and I'm not one to name my tractors ... just the special ones. I set it up with proper tires for field plowing and what a nice job it did. Pulled a 10 & 8 incher with no problem. These 8's can do just about anything a big tractor can. Definitely one of those "wished I never sold it" tractors ...you guys know! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I have had good luck with the cheapy offshore knockoffs the general consensus here is to try and save a original. and run what ya brung. Might just need a good cleaning.

Keaton 435 #18 Posted September 27 @Easton Rich I just got a few more, and I'm in 4h its fun, just got to get them done I time. wheel horses are fun and figuring out how they work is even more fun. every tractor is different, wheel horses seem to be one of the most simple that I have 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I won't use another one. If you need any hints tips tricks etc on your own carb do feel free to ask. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,017 #22 Posted September 27 16 hours ago, Easton Rich said: Alright, I finally bought one Welcome to the sickness! A B-80 is a solid machine. If the K181 isn’t enough for you, You just add a bigger engine later. That 8-speed can handle way more if you need it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had 3 B-80', 4 B-100's, and 2 C-120's. They all had a 13" soft touch steering wheel, #102715. After the C-1x1 series came out in 1978, they switched to a hard plastic, 3-spoke wheel, #106055. It may have been a larger diameter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
