which should i focus on restoring first?

[chudyconstruction 0]

I have a 312-8 in working order running good .

A c-125 that needs a motor other than that it ran awesome before motor seized up

A c-160 working but body is in rough shape in means of all the rust

Not sure where to go on restoring first here Any ideas here all are welcome.

I would say the non running 125 first.

I say the 160, it will take the most time and be the most rewarding

the 160,its the nicest of the three and as kthack said will be the most rewarding,then you can do the other 2

the c160 taking a rusty tractor and making it bright and shiny like new again is a great feeling

Agreed! Get your 125 running so you will have two working Horses while the 160 is down for painting. You will probably do more that just some painting. There is always an extra thing or two or three to do with a facelift project.

Took the words right outta my mouth! C-160 without a doubt.

well thank you every one for the input fixing up the 160 sounds like a great idea first i know these horses are easier to restore right now now than my power king seeing as its in pieces.

If it is your first restore then I woiuld start with whichever one you want to practice on and then learn from your mistakes and do the one you want to come out the best last..

Practice makes perfect.

Put the 16 Kolher in the 125 while you rebuild the 12 Kolher and restore the 160. " I love it when a plan come together."

There you go.

This is a good plan. This way you will have two pieces of equipment you can rely on while working on the other. Plus you will keep the 160 motor alive.

Now, that is a great idea.

thats a great idea never thought of putting that motor in the 125

Ideas like these are why it's imperative to have as a resource when working on tractors.

Great minds think............even greater thoughts. :thumbs:
