Why Do I Wheel Horse Around

Recommended Posts

tarcoleo

Two acres of lawn around my place are mowed weekly or more often. This chore, over the years, has transitioned to a hobby where the restoration, optimization and the use of two classic “C†Wheel Horse units have become pleasure. Work isn't work if you have pride in it, especially if one can enjoy the use of the right tools. Anyway, grass cutting, acre upon acre, round and round, over a couple hours, is transfixing, “a Zen experience that allows one to see into one's own true nature, and thus attain Buddhahood or enlightenment.†Well I guess.

To attain :wh: enlightenment, must you always mow in the same direction? :scratchead:

      Looking to find a new home for my 84 (I think) C-145. It has a dump trailer with the enclosure for leaves, the PTO impeller to get the leafs into the trailer, the hoses for deck-to-impeller, impeller-to-trailer.
       
      I haven’t run it in over a year.
      The battery and the cable to the battery probably need to be replaced.
      Comes with a new head gasket still in the bag.
      Seat is cracked but still comfortable.
       
      Happy to answer questions or take other pictures.

      I’m looking for wheel horse tractors for sale or for parts in the Eastern Nebraska or western Iowa area. Preferably 8 speed manuals. Pm me or comment with what you have. The worst I could say is it’s out of my price or distance range. Edit: engine is not important, it’s going to get an engine swap.
      Thanks,
      John

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.
