Are you executing moles or gophers? Did it work? 

The moles had overtaken my back yard and over several years I had tried traps, poison, road flares,  and acetylene gas.    Nothing worked.

 

After 4 hours of three Wheel Horse tractor pumping exhaust  into the tunnels,  the moles left and have not been seen for over ten years.    It worked.

And the difference in accessibility, especially to the rock shaft, is mind boggling. 

 

The BBT won't work on another 78 or later if she can help it at all

Man this thread is right down my alley haha

I will go in order of what I bought first 

 

This is by the serial tag a 1973 14hp 8 speed

It's decaled as a C120 and has a 12hp engine on it.

 

This next one is a 1974 B100 auto I bought as a non-running tractor, engine ended up running great. The transaxle was junk, and I got that switched out, and only repainted what I needed to. Which was the frame, rims, and a few spots here and there. Also changed out the rear tires from 22" to the 23" wheelhorse branded ones from the 73' wheelhorse. 

 

And my latest purchase also a non-runner is a 1972 Raider 14, I have gotten it running, but haven't gotten around to restoring it yet.

I prefer to use a side Sickle bar cutter for those "Up close & Personal" moments.....

Did you do that yourself?

I have said for many years that I am not actively looking for any more tractors to buy. 
 

But should there ever cross my path a C-161 8-speed… I will be in a tough spot.  

 

Those late 70s C-1x1 models were about the best lookers they ever made in my opinion. 
 

 

If I find a good 1976 or 1977 I don't care what engine is bolted in there I'll buy it.

For whatever reason, the K341/M16 has always eluded me. That is the only reason I drool over them I guess. 

 

But I have to agree, most any C-xx1 model would be tempting! Coupled with a smooth running Vanguard? Yeah, I'd take it!

You could make a 16 or 23 HP out of it.'

Just when I had finally talked myself out of building a black hood before finishing my 701- you just had to put up that C-125... 

 

That is one sharp machine. I'll go ahead and tell you, I'm copying those decals!
