ericj 1,578 #1 Posted November 9, 2015 checking out c/l Sat night and found an ad that was 10 hrs old for a C195 for a reasonable price so i called figuring it would have been sold, but i called and was surprised to find it was still available. made arrangements to go look at it and told the lady i would be there Sun. morning, afraid somebody might try and sneak in and steal it out from under me but it was still there Sunday so i bought it and brought it home with me, along with an almost nos set of 26x12x12 Goodyear turf tire and rims for a D series tractor. blew almost all my money , but i think it was worth it so what do you guys think of my new black hood. almost forgot it came with a 60" deck that needs a center spindle. there is a lot of play in the bearing. and no 3 point or any other goodies but it has the dual control valve for the 3 point, by the way if it did have a 3 point it wouldn't fit into my enclosed trailer for out of the weather storage. since i have decided to add this to my collection i have lo make some very tough decisions on which tractor or tractors must leave for new homes and hopefully greener pastures. just not enough room to keep them all unfortunately.eric j 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DennisThornton 4,769 #4 Posted November 9, 2015 Here I go again! Another one I'd like! Why wouldn't anybody/everybody want a C-195? Why WH decided to not distinguish that model is a mystery to me! For the longest time I just assumed it was like any other ol' C-XXX but with a 19.5hp engine. Yes, that was when I didn't know about the "XX5" thing either! But WH should have given the C-195 a different name altogether! I'm sure I was not the only one to not realize how different they were/are! GT-195 would have made more sense! Even though C-Plus 195 sounds silly it would have made more sense!Nice find and from what I now know I gather one of the more capable WHs made. Maybe not quite a D-series but certainly more than a C-series! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheesegrader 433 #13 Posted November 10, 2015 That is a great looking tractor. I'd love to have one with a 3-point one day.I've never seen a 60" deck with a shell shaped like that. I like the extra-long handle for the guage wheels, too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ericj 1,578 #20 Posted November 11, 2015 not long after coming down with this addiction i bought a c125 auto. it was almost hidden in the weeds. and after a year or 2 of trying i was able to rescue it. i kept it for several tears and used it for mowing and snow blowing duties. but for some reason never real fell in love with it and eventually sold it at the big show to i believe sparky on here, but that has been several years ago now. i liked the sealed beam head light over the bulbs in the older C series. i have since moved on to the 3,4 and 500 series tractors. the other thing i'm not a big fan of the kt series kohlers becuase of my 417-8 that dad bought new. just never thought it had the power and smoothness of the onan's. i'm starting to believe that my 417-8 is not running right and may need help. the C195 seems to run better then the 417 and seems to run strong, time will tell. i do plan on keeping it for now i've been told it is a beast when it comes to plowing snow with the 15" rear tires. so it will get my extra D series snow plow that i have been hording for all of these years, and everybody says that if you haven't used it for a year or 2 to get rid of it loleric j 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adams94 1,068 #21 Posted December 27, 2015 Picked this one up a couple months ago. Love the C-195. Dad has had one since 1985. Always used the 60" deck on it. That deck pictured above is the same as his. Sweet tractors. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,578 #22 Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) been wanting to ask, i put a D series plow on my C195, i had to turn the lift link for the D up side down with the adjuster bolt at the bottom to get it to fit what do you other guys use for the lift link between the plow and the tractor ? Travis nice looking 195 kinda wish i had a 3 pt on mine, but then it wouldn't fit into my storage spot now. eric j Edited December 28, 2015 by ericj 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As explained to me elsewhere on this forum, chain is standard for my 105 and the solid link is used if you want ability to put down pressure on the blade. Used mine once this year - 9 inches of heavy snow - NO ISSUES! It's a beast. Hope that helps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not talking the link between the rock shaft and the lift arm, i'm talking about the link between the lift arm and the plow, wasn't going to say anything till i could get pictures of what i was talking about, but the topic came up again, so.... eric j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adams94 1,068 #25 Posted December 28, 2015 Thanks. The lift on my plow on my 195 pictured above uses the factory lift. No modifications that I can tell. Looks the same as my dads 195. If that helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
