carlsbarn2 7 #1 Posted February 10, 2012 I found a C-145 with 48" side discharge deck & snow blower for $ 250.00 Owner says it needs carb work.Doesnt run.Is this a deal ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 993 #2 Posted February 10, 2012 it would depend on the shape of the tractor,if its in good shape and the motor seems to have compression then thats not too bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,300 #3 Posted February 10, 2012 Is it a hydro? Its a gamble to buy a non-running tractor where you cant test the hydro tranny. Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #4 Posted February 10, 2012 I'd say if it's does not look like a complete piece O crap, deck not rusted out, blower in good shape, it's probably worth it, but I would offer less say $200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #5 Posted February 10, 2012 Is it a hydro? Its a gamble to buy a non-running tractor where you cant test the hydro tranny. I would strongly agree with that if it was an early 1980 model with the Sundstrand hydro. If it has an Eaton 1100 hydro, I wouldn't be concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,127 #6 Posted February 10, 2012 Parts alone are worth way more than that. I'd say it's a good deal. :teasing-poke: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHEEL HORSE BILL 7 #7 Posted February 10, 2012 Good deal try to get for $200 if not go with the $250 you won't be upset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul D. 26 #8 Posted February 11, 2012 You could probably sell the deck and thrower and cover your costs. Even if the tractor doesn't run of the motor turns its not a bad deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul D. 26 #9 Posted February 11, 2012 How do you tell if you have the sundstrand or the eaton? I have a C-141 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,408 #10 Posted February 11, 2012 Generally your model number will have either an E or an S in the number to indicate. E=Eaton S=Sunstrand P=Peerless 8=8 speed Unidrive F=Foote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,300 #11 Posted February 11, 2012 If the model #'s are gone from the tractor the Eaton 1100 (not the 700) has an oil filter that sticks out the back, and if your looking at it from the rear its on the left side. I believe the Sundstrand is mounted sideways. Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
