R. L. Addison 299 #1 Posted January 9, 2017 I joined a while back and forgot about this site until something jogged my memory. Not much of a computer person, but site is simple and between my wife & i, I'm making a little progress & loving it! Got my first W.H. about 1965, an 854, then went to a 1075, then bought a new C160 in 1974 w/ mower deck, loader. (Ark 500) and breaking plow. I used the 1075 and the C160 continually, as I worked nights and did odd jobs (usually small tractor work) during the day. Also traded, bought, & sold a little bit, & also worked for a dealer in spare time. I've had my share of experience and had probably every attachment ever sold by Wheel Horse except wagon,power take off & belly blade. I learned a lot from these times, and enjoyed every minute of it. I have only two now with a couple blades, tillers, mower decks, breaking plow, & some home built "toys". dunngawn@hotmail.com Ron Addison 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R. L. Addison 299 #5 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) No, My son has it. I have two C141's, both 1979's. Personally I like the brake on the hydraulic motors over the parking pawl, and the seats are more stable as I weigh about three pounds more than an elephant. I am replacing the "a" base engines with the solid bolted base as ignition & starter wires break frequently. Also like fuel tank away from the battery. Edited January 9, 2017 by R. L.
