200 bucks for that tractor is a neck of a deal...i paid 400 for my C-125...fresh rebuilt engine but tractor is rough compared to yours 

[Big_Red_Fred 1,547]

Every thing is there other then sum small parts, time to start hunting parts , carb linkage missing tho, i'll get it running smooth

[953 nut 56,558]

    You should have no problem getting that 125 running well. fresh gas with some Seafoam  may help matters. Good talking to you.

Hey 953, when i had the key switch on with the C125, the coil started smoking, smoking bad, i scrambled to mean green & grabed 2 7/16 wrenches & removed pos cable, what would cause that, i gotta get parts for it since i robbed the fuel pump for 414

                Probably a bad coil.

GOOD

Nice find !

[Big_Red_Fred 1,547]

I found some thing today, along a river here in Pa, in a shed, maybe you Wheel Horse Surgeons can figure this Black hood out ? No Numbers, the 3 owners said if i produce a tractor so they can mow their 3 spots at river, i can have it. Here you all go. 

[953 nut 56,558]

How about the engine, what size,single or twin cylinder,type of ignition, HP, numbers on it? Little help here Fred. How about the seat pan, metal or plastic?

[SylvanLakeWH 26,403]

 

But regardless - FREE = get it!

[c-series don 9,219]

That is either a C-145 or C-165 automatic. It's not a 125 because I see it has hydraulic lift. Here's a couple of pictures of mine. Not sure why they are so grainy?

[Big_Red_Fred 1,547]
