I've been buying wheel wheel horses to fix up and sell but I have a hard time letting them go once I get them working as they should but I need to sell two if I want to keep my hobby funded so I'm hoping to get some advice from my fellow red square members so here's what I have c-85 8hp 8 speed its a good mower, B-60 8hp 8speed pull start witch I don't mind and the motor is newer 1992 runs good and a B-80 10hp 4speed looks ruff but runs great has new back tires to so witch to do you guys think should go and witch one should I keep?post-6211-14000216078_thumb.jpg

B-60 keep. Doesn't look bad and you don't see them every day. Swap the newer tires onto it

I would keep the black hood. Just because i like the black hoods. Other than that i think they are roughly the same tractors.

Gut wrenching decision. I don't have a recommendation for you. I'd say keep them all but I know that is not the question. I guess I am just to attached to mine. Good luck.

I'd like to keep them all but I do most of my mowing with my suburban 400 and the lawn ranger but I like to keep a bigger machine around for the ruff stuff

I like black hoods but the B/C series in the 70's are, overall, my favorites.

I would keep the B-60. In fact I would love to have one. Kinda rare.

I like that the b-60 is a very simple machine not alot of wiring

The older c series ones are also easier to get to the lift linkage than the black hoods

I would lose the black hood for starters, my least favorite of the three. It could be a coin toss between the other two I suppose. Put the new back tires from the B-80 on the 60 and keep it. Generally I might have leaned towards the B-80 for the greater HP and electric start, but I would pass it over for the B-60 due to condition and the 8 speed myself. The real drawbacks to the B-60 to me are 8hp, and rope pull start, but those drawbacks are countered by condition and the 8 speed tranny.

Nobody noticed the little one in the trailer? It's time for some food or maybe a fresh diaper?

I really like what you are doing...fixing up horses and maybe selling them to buy more to fix up.  While I agree we need some parts guys...it is nice to see some one fixing up horses and selling them whole.  BTW...keep the Black hood.  :)
