roscoemi 245 #1 Posted July 16, 2012 I got a C121 from a friend for free a few months ago with a deck, a blower and cab. It had been put out to pasture about 6 years ago. His dad bought it new from the factory and was used daily until it started to run bad. During the teardown, I found the id tag under the cab mount bolted to the dash tower and members confirmed it to be a 1979 C121. The motor problem turned out to be a bad ground, all the fasteners on the sheetmetal were rusted. I sanded the sheetmetal and sprayed it with rustoleum, leaving most of the dents for history and the fact it will still be a worker. So today she rolled out and went back to work. Here's my bud Jon dragging his driveway with springs and 160 lbs of concrete. The blower is next on the list as winter is coming, not soon enough! :ranting: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,102 #3 Posted July 16, 2012 Looks like Jon's giving it a workout. Cool stack. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roscoemi 245 #4 Posted July 17, 2012 Well Craig, I'm not sure who is giving the workout to who! The stack came from TSC and is for a IH. Still loud as hell and blows loose bits out of the rafters of her stall, the old girl has some lungs!!!! She never quit, first days work in almost 7 years. Jon looked at his stamped together pos and decided to get a real tractor. :banana-rock: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 649 #5 Posted July 17, 2012 Good Save! You should get with Terry, about getting some new decals for it. That would really give it the finishing touch. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel Horse Kid 105 #6 Posted July 17, 2012 Nice restoration! Glad to see her fixed up and back in action again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roscoemi 245 #7 Posted July 17, 2012 Not sure about the decals, I kinda like the clean semi custom look. Pretty wife still doesn't understand why so much went into it when another ground strap would have got it running! I asked her why she buys more clothes when she has enough to cloth an army. Next I have to find a small one for my 8 year old son. Anybody have suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
